Apparently the number 88 means "Heil Hitler" and thus all t-shirts + caps baring the number in US Target stores have been recalled because they caused offence. But the number 8 is also concidered very lucky by some cultures. I've seen an "88" number plate and they driver wasn't wearing a white hood. Is there any combination of numbers and/or letters that isn't offensive to someone? I remember someone saying they pulled an ad off the air recently because 5 people complained. Millions of people would have seen that ad and FIVE people complained. And people complain that their vote doesn't make a difference.
