As a Mozillian daddy, I find this entirely innocuous – at worst, worth a
chuckle.
If my child says "Fox Yeah" at school, I will be annoyed, but that's
because he has been influenced by an ad. And if he says "Fuck Yeah",
I'll teach him the difference, end of the story.
Ah, so you will be annoyed, end of story? Influenced by a company
campaign appearing on your computer? Not as innocent as many here claim.
I am sure that there are other parents who do not agree with me, but
frankly, there are more interesting things to get angry about in the
world than an ad using something that sounds like a swearword but isn't.
So "Fox yeah you do!" sounds like a swear comment but isn't, and what it
implies is something you wouldn't want a child to say. Okay.
Best regards,
David

Nobody is offended by the word "fox". If Mozilla is okay with "FoxYeah"
which is alluding to "FuckYeah", and "Fox yeah you do!" is alluding to
"Fuck yeah you do!" OH NO! Now it seems a little more offensive, doesn't
it. Some must need to see it in order to get it, so there it is in all
its glory.
I had a Mozilla volunteer email me and say "Fox yeah" is nothing more
than "gosh" or "darn". I couldn't disagree more. Mainly because
someone may say "darn" in a one on one conversation. Mozilla has chose
to plaster it on the Start Page for millions to see.
I would like those Mozilla people who don't have children to think about
a little child seeing that when they get on their computer, and they go
to school and say it to someone, maybe even a teacher. All of a sudden
it's not an innocent word like "gosh" or "darn". No, it's much worse,
because adults know what is being said by it.
Mozilla doesn't want to offend anyone. Fox yeah they do.
