Because in almost all cases, it's a blatant attempt to circumvent the filter, and in the end, it clicks as having the same meaning and connotations anyway, so has the same effect as the f word anyway to many people who get offended by that - why else would you want to be using it so often anyway? I doubt you talk about a not overly popular British brand of clothes that often.
