When people take prudishness too far

Surely people can't be this stupid?! Did the Mail make this shit up?

"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.'

That guy is a complete twat. *Shakes head* Evidently he is a PC idiot, sadly there are far too many PC idiots around.

Rule #1: Never underestimate the stupidity of people.

"The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter."



"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."

Yes, because she realised she was married to a complete twat!

Clearly Mr. Simpkins doesn't know what pornography means. I seriously doubt those images would arouse anyone. I work with someone who thinks it should be the 1900s. I bet she'd agree with him.

Maybe he's actually being literal here and the shopkeeper had his thermostat set too high and the wife had to nip outside to cool down!

Sounds like she needs a stiff dick up her.

That's what got the lemon into trouble!

I love this comment in the comments section.

"I would like to tell you these pictures are very photogenic. They show both the lemon's good side and my own. I would like you to know that both the cherries and the lemon were willing to have these pictures taken and at no point did they object to anything. In fact they suggested a few manuaevers. I think Mr Simpkin should except that sex is natural and children should know about it rather than just having to guess as they are not going to go out and do it. As a final statement, I would like to add that all the fruit in the pictures are above 16. So there!"
