tasteless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this crass?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for tasteless that I've seen before include "Insipid - vulgar" , "Lacking flavour or ability to appreciate the beautiful" , "Unseemly" , "Vapid" , "Bland; offensive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
