Nanny state

[Gollom]

Dear, dear me. Do we really need this level of "nannying"?

A poster for a West End play featuring a wedding cake was banned by Transport for London (TfL) because it was seen to promote "foods high in fat, salt and sugar".

unbelievable what a nanny state

You're all missing the point here.

The problem is not that it promotes cakes... the problem is that it promotes weddings.

Not a London thing, weddings. Single parenthood is now in vogue here...

I thought it was to prevent lard ****s getting even more lard ****y in a way that banning smoking ads tries to stop people smoking or at least taking it it up.

Stupid. But I assume TfL's policy is well known in professional circles and you'd have expected the agency who came up with the poster to have been familiar with it.

Ya mean the curiosity of those hearing of it becomes free advertising?

No more McD's, Gregs or American trip adverts now then.
