lol nothing new spugsy, my lad got stopped in AD not long ago, he was wearing a ben sherman t.shirt that they didn't like, it was funny rather than rude, he was told not to wear ( for the spelling old bill) it again.

Surely all that was required here was a caution and if absolutely necessary, confiscation of the "offensive" shirt to protect the moral fibre of the nation and save further corruption of the populus.....

And it's "stupidity" not "stupidness"...

But a big FFS at the story.

So it's better to fight, a losing battle, than to argue with ignorant and stubborn people???

It could be argued however that the choice of models on the T shirts was to titilate and increase sales -albeit for an extremely worthy cause.
Obviously not looking for a fight as being the quiet unassuming type and always for flight over fight,I'd say the real reason the authorities in DXB found it offensive is becos the designer is a homosexual Jewish person (allegedly).
If a depiction of semi/near nudity is regarded as offensive then I would think the object d'artes in the Guggenhiem & Louvre, Abu Dhabi are going to be rather limited.Doesn't auger well for preRaphaelites,Titians or Botticellis
(no pun intended)
