Pornographic sweet wrappers?

I don't doubt that modern Britain has a fair bit of sexual imagery in the media. Of course, they are strictly small time compared to Belgium. Some of the stuff at news kiosks here would make a pimp blush. But apparently, its not adult magazines which are the subject of wrath in the British press. Apparently its sweet wrappers, featuring cartoon lemons, which are highly suggestive. In fact, one parent has complained:

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.


This is one of those stories you read, and keep waiting for the punch line. But it never came. This guy was actually serious.
