LOVE LOVE the names and witticisms, 1000%!
Having butted up against a number of these things personally, professionally, casually and very intimately,
Not being a seller, I don't see the issues with the labels except there is no weight. Can anyone elaborate for those of us who aren't label savvy?
As a YEARS long sufferer of Bi-polarism, anxiety, and BPD, I find no offense tho these whatsoever. My mental illness hit me in my early 20's and I'm 43 now, on meds and living la vida loca as well as I can. I love those labels, find humor in them and think they're very witty, but that's just me. I can't speak for anyone else and wouldn't want to. I personally think that those of us who suffer from such things need to find humor in our disorders to help pull ourselves out from the darkness. Case in point... my young son has autism and I bought him a shirt that has a colorful bird on it that says "When I'm Happy, I'm Flappy". The flappy reference is to what some autistics do called stimming. And he literally jumps around the room flapping his hands and arms whenever something makes him happy or excited. To some the shirt is taking a stimming behavior and seeing the humor in it, and of course, I've come across some parents of autistic kids who bashed me for making fun of a disorder. You can't please everyone, and some things will offend. I like to find the humor in things and roll with the punches rather than roll around in the negative darkness. I certainly respect other's opinions however and can't change the way they feel about something. Those soaps are sold as novelty items and they perfectly fit the bill and I think they're brilliant.
