Arse cake

Is this a sign of creeping prudification? Asda has censored a birthday cake because it showed the bare bottom of a 5-month-old baby.

Mother Gail Jordan wanted to suprise her 21-year-old son on his birthday by presenting him with a cake bearing photo of his 5-month-old self. Asda’s scan-to-cake service staff, however, stuck a star over the infant’s bum because it was deemed too nude.

The sensitive among you should avert your eyes now:
star-arsed baby

    ASDA should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves — dirty-minded lot…

  2. Steve says:

    It’s their policy not to any nudity in their stores. They are owned by Walmart where you can buy guns…typical American perversity.

  3. Stuart H. says:

    Bit hypocritical – especially if you remember they ran that series of silly ‘ASDA Price’ adverts where women slap their own arses!

    It pisses me off that walmart can trade under the name asda, in a similar way that curries dixons and pc world are all the same company. They should all be made to trade under the parent company or groups name. Chavtronics perhaps?
