After wearing T-shirts that contained a sexual message about the Disney theme park, an unidentified couple has been the focus of furious debate.
Both T-shirts make use of the letter ‘D’ written in Disney’s signature calligraphy font — but play on a double entendre where ‘D’ can stand for both Disney and a piece of male anatomy.
The shirt reads: “I gave her D,” and a Cinderella castle icon follows the D.
‘I wanted the D,’ reads the woman’s shirt, with the same Cinderella’s castle icon.
The D: A couple, unidentified, has been the subject of furious debate after they wore T-shirts with a sexual message to Disney’s theme park.

It is not clear from this photo where it was taken but it appears to be somewhere near Disney World in Florida or Disneyland, California.
The couple’s guests are also seen wearing Disney-themed gear. But it’s more child-friendly, with shirts featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and one with the Captain America logo.
The two theme parks are family-friendly and cater to children. However, the unidentified couple seems not concerned with making anyone uncomfortable.
They are pictured walking hand-in–hand in matching jeans and sweaters tied around their waists. The raunchy message on the shirts is clearly legible.

It’s not appropriate to wear it around children. It is not appropriate and should be avoided. Another said, “Point blank.” ‘Kids ask questions. The older children are able to read.

“This is truly clever. There is nothing to be unhappy about,’ wrote another.
Others called it ‘cute’, ‘goals’, ‘hilarious’, ‘awesome’, and ‘adorable’.
“I don’t mind shirts such as this. I wish people were more creative. Tired of seeing the same Etsy shirt designs over-and-over, and over again,’ said another.
