Questions have been raised over the appropriateness of slogans of Wicked Campers Vans parked in Port Douglas. 

David and Rowena Adams from gift shop Pebble snapped these photos of the two vans, which are decorated with text describing sexual acts, parked outside Salsa Bar and Grill on Wharf Street. 

Mr and Ms Adams questioned the appropriateness of having the text on the vans viewable to the public, especially in tourism-based Port Douglas. 

"All I'm asking is if people beleive it's appropriate to have those things written on the side of a van for everyone to see, including tourists and kids," Ms Adams said. 

"It's particularly concerning becuase they are close to the church which has a lot of wedding parties. 

"If you were to say these slogans out loud in public you'd most likely be quickly reprimanded, if children repeated these slogans they would also get into trouble. 

"I certainly wouldn't want my children to see this and think it's an okay thing to say." 

Wicked Campers, which mainly markets to young backpackers, has previously come under fire for the content of slogans on its vans, some of which have been labelled offensive, sexist, racist and misogynist. 

The company apologised in July after a Sydney woman started a Change.org petition to have the text on Wicked vans changed or toned down after her 11-year-old daughter repeated what she read on one. 

Wicked has invited the public to paint or tape over any slogans on their vans that they found offensive and has committed to changing slogans of 'an offensive nature' according to company director John Webb. 

"As is often quoted: 'A sense of humour is a sense of proportion'," said Mr Webb in a company statement.

"And in this instance, we admit that we have taken things out of proportion and out of the realms of what is considered to be 'socially acceptable'.

"It is impossible for us to conceive that a throw-away message written on a van could have such far-reaching implications for the community at large."

Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson defended the right of the company to decorate their vans how they saw fit, and argued that censorship of what some deemed offensive posed a risk of misuse. 

"Just removing things that are offensive, while it may seem attractive, is a very dangerous precedent at least because people always have very different views about what is offensive and therefore should be limited," Mr Wilson said. 

What do you think? Are Wicked Campers going too far with their slogans or do people just need to toughen up their sense of humour?
