Was this a bad idea?
« on: October 02, 2010, 02:49:51 PM »
For Movember (http://uk.movember.com/?home), my team's team-name is Team Mosley, after fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley. He is popularly hated. I chose he because his name starts with Mo and he had a cute 'tache. http://uk.movember.com/mospace/532216/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Oswald_Mosley

Lots of my friends are getting butthurt over this and think it's crossing the line/offensive/stupid. Some are saying it could come back to haunt me. Some are even saying employers might google me, find this, and reject me.

What do you think, /b/? I mean, TFES?

I think what. It's a name, and the 'Mo' element is clear. It's not like it's not relevant.

Be quite good if someone started a 'Communist Team' then you could re-enact the street battles of the 1930s!

Honestly, go with team Mosley if you want. Ask people what they feel about it in a month's time, and nobody will care.

You can't live your life afraid of what other people will think all the time.  Its just not worth it.

When one shortens it properly to the second syllable of the word, not including the end of the first.
