I was just wondering if you'd still find it offensive if the owner was poking fun at him/her self.

If it were on a yellow 5-series, would you still find it offensive? "Euro Fever?" "Euro 5er?"

I do find it a little bit amusing that the only people I've ever known to use the pejorative "yellow fever" were people of Asian descent.
