‘Juicy Couture’ the hippest fashion house in America has brought out a new range of street cred’ smelly stuff for your not-so-average urban male...
The range is called ‘Dirty English’ – and according to Juicy, ‘it’s the scent of irresistible bad boys all over the world – Dirty English, the new fragrance for men’.... (Yeah, but it ain’t no Old Spice, is it?)
How do I feel about this? Insulted, obviously – but then again, am I being a tad over sensitive? For all I know, the marketing men at Juicy might have chucked other similarly contentious monikers for consideration by the focus groups...
‘Corpulent Gobby Yanks’, maybe. Or how about ‘Sweaty Jocks (trap)’.... ‘Garlic Eating Surrender Monkey French’.... ‘Whinging Minging Aussies’..... ‘Stormtrooping Germans’......
Or maybe they didn’t – for obvious reasons.
So why do they think it’s OK to insult us?

Love the cut-out newspaper lettering - a throwback to the glorious Punk crud of 1977/78!
Well, maybe they thought the English would be the only nation with the sense of humour to take it. I mean, 'Filthy French' or 'Gormless Germans' wouldn't go down too well, would it?
