It is cheesy, without being fun. If we choose a cheesy slogan it either has to be fun or a meme or something that makes the reader curious.
Bragging doesn't really work for slogans IMO.

D, in some areas, is already open to ridicule on that basis.

It's a childish americanism comparable to the n word or the f word. understand. In America nearly every second word can have some sexual connotation. As if there weren't already too much of them. I personally find even the word "dick" far fetched to have that meaning. If you need a one-letter abbreviation, I would say it's the "P"-word. If you'd ask me, D is about the 13th letter that would come to mind to have some sexual meaning. Halve the latin alphabet is more likely to be misinterpreted that way. God hates America.
