FUNNY. I'm so over it. About since 1776.

I am not offended, but I think it shows disrespect and is unnecessary.

No vote from me.

How I try to look at it, I can't see the funny part but I can't say that I would be offended (if I was british that is)

Didn't vote since the options were all or nothing

I don't find it particularly funny.

I think that it would take someone with bad taste, to actually wear it.

However, I am in agreement with the "sentiment" it portrays.

Let's let it rest (and her). Only lawyers and sleazy journalists, keep the topic going.

Absolutely sick to death of hearing anything to do with this. Boring, boring boring!
Not offended and it wasn't particularly funny when it was first cracked ten years ago

If the subject was Preisident John F. Kennedy and the shirt was worn in the US probably no laughs. Likely a spit in the eye. And that happened over 40 yrs ago. So I would imagine the same response in Briton.

I agree.

Perhaps there should be another voting button added "Who really gives a fcuk ?"

Yes....l should of put that option in.

Oz Media are running with it at the moment, saying it's in very poor taste etc.......dare say it won't take long for the British Media to weigh in.

I am not offended with this, although the text could have been a bit more subtile.

The poor lady was killed in an accident more than 10 years ago and with all due respect but IMHO was basically just a media hype.

I don't see what could possibly be funny, forget the fact of who she was and the whole royal family thing. She's a lady who was killed in an accident, she has two sons who will be aware of this stuff. About as cruel and thoughtless as it gets in my opinion.

Totally agree Steve I am up for a good sick joke but this completely lacks any sort of humour it's just completely crass. Diana's legacy of charity work in the fields of Aids awareness and landmines continues to this day.

As above, agree with Steves sentiments.

Having met her several times around the world and spent time working her personal security (Africa, UK and Germany) it was a crying shame when she died. I was told by a crying young waitress (I asked why she was crying) as she served me breakfast in Edinburgh.

I think you only have to remember the reaction of the public in the UK to her death to realise how much she was thought of.

Shake her hand once, look into her eyes and your heart skipped a beat.........Well, it did for me.

She has lost her life..........The people making these pictures should get one.

Cheers....................and yes, it is a British 'thing'

About as much as it did when Kylie got breast cancer.

It's the sick fcuks who feel they have to come up with t-shirts like this that bother me. They need to get out more IMHO.
