The products are the first global fragrances for United Kingdom-based apparel company French Connection Group, which sells apparel and other goods under the acronym brand FCUK (for French Connection U.K.) and also operates some stores of its own.

I won't give the whole number for security reasons, but here is part of it...

Surprise I haven't been pulled over for having an obscenity on my back bumper. There's a law in Florida about obscene bumper stickers on cars. I don't know the law though. You'd have to look it up.
