'CU in the NT' slogan could be axed from merchandise by Darwin Council

Should souvenirs featuring one of the most profane words in the English language be sold at a family-oriented market?
It is a debate polarising Territorians following a Darwin Council alderman's promise to put forward a motion tomorrow night that could see the Top End's unofficial tourism slogan banned from items sold at the Nightcliff Markets.
NT Official launched the "CU in the NT" slogan, along with the tagline "The Top End. Different from the bottom end" on its website in 2016, to mixed reviews.
It now features on a range of souvenirs, which are sold at shops and market stalls.
It seems the slogan has remained just as divisive.
While some told the ABC it was taking the region "down the sewer", others claimed it was among the "most creative and intelligent" things they had ever seen.

Yeah, Nah.
its a fucking sick slogan, don't get rid of it.
Seems like it fits perfectly tbh.
Straya rules and all.
Seriously? I thought only Americans considered cunt to be a super terrible word.
I still don't see what makes cunt so much worse then any other swear words. Calling someone a cock is just fine but cunt is crossing the line.
People in the UK generally consider it that too.
It is definitely less of a faux pas to say it in England, for example, but it is still considered the worst swear word.
Somewhat related, this is a mug that is sold at a university (whose initials are UNT) one of my friends goes to. There's no way this wasn't intentional.

Nah mate Cunt is just like Arsehole but it's reserved for more extreme cases. If you throw it around willy nilly everyone will think you look a right cunt but it's not going to ruin your social life.
It's like ~the baddest swear word~ here, but you can still use it in the right situations without drawing too much ire. Whereas in the US "Cunt" is considered a super misogynistic slur only used by proper cunts.
Despite being American, "cunt" was never portrayed as terribly offensive to me. "Fuck" was always the one that I was told was the worst.
You mean cuntry
featuring one of the most profane words in the English language
I can think of at least a dozen words that are way more profane than saying 'cunt'.
Unless you're diving into outright ethnic slurs (which IMO aren't really comparable since they're far more targeted and less general), I really doubt that
