Father's fury over children's 'pornographic' sweet wrappers

A father-of-two has spoken of his disgust after spotting fruity cartoon characters appearing to have sex on SWEET wrappers. Simon Simpkins was buying Haribo MAOAM sour candies for his children when he noticed the 'pornographic' illustrations of limes, lemons and cherries romping with each other. Mr Simpkins, of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, said: 'The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter. The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face.'

He said: 'I demanded to see the shop manager and, during a heated exchange, my wife became quite distressed and had to sit down in the car park.'

A spokesman for Haribo said the 'fun' packaging of the sweets was introduced in Germany 2002 and added: 'This jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old.'

Fruity: According to Mr Simpkins, the lime has a 'particularly lurid' expression on its face during its encounter with a lemon

Debauched: The lime enjoys a similarly smutty experience with a willing pair of cherries

Kids are usually no where near as uptight as parents are...

My favourite line:

There was a Mormon mother back in the late 80's, in Arizona no less, who made a fuss over the cover of Disney's, The Little Mermaid. Once she got media attention, Disney changed the cover.

Here's a close up. She claimed the castle was shaped like an erect #######.

That's too funny

1. no; one image conjures (to me) two children "wrassling", the other a dog licking someone he/she likes
2. If my children actually like sour candys (some don't), yes.

Haribo sounds like (maybe he is) one of the long line of chops who claimed Proctor & Gamble to be a Satanic company due to its logo :lol:

Well, since the Billy Boy condoms with the happy dancing ####### are placed right next to the lip balm my daughter was looking at....no I'm not offended.

What kid would think that's porn unless they were taught to think that way?

Fixed... (Haribo is the company that makes this candy and yummy gummy bears too)
