Mother in Paedo Cake Horror!

    Or another case of "thought police" madness
    It's a classic mum ploy – royally embarrass your son by putting a picture of him as a baby, naked as the day he was born, on his 21st birthday cake for all his friends to see. But staff at Asda in the Wirral refused to print a picture of the now grown-up David Jordan because it showed him as a baby, baring his bottom.

    'They said it could be anyone's child so it could be deemed pornographic,' care worker Gail Jordan told The Daily Mail. 'It's ridiculous – I understand they have rules, but there ought to be a place for common sense as well. In the end they would only do it with a star over his bottom, which to be honest made the whole thing even more hilarious.'

    A spokesperson for Asda upheld the store's hardline rule, saying: ''We have a policy, as do many other retailers, of no nudity, whatever the age of the subject. In this case we offered a number of alternatives including enlarging and cropping the photo, increasing the border size or applying a strategically placed star to save his blushes.'

    30 years of scare stories in right wing rags and social services inculcated with left-wing ideology has somehow landed ordinary people in a world worthy of Kafka its Julia Somerville all over again.

    Whatever happened to ' lost innocence ' or iggnorence is bliss ' ? Must be millions of us out there with baby pics as the one in the subject .

    Suppose they have to fill the news rags with something

    That original link is interesting. I had an interview with her Boyfriend, who was also implicated.
    I could have been working under a suspected paedophile.
    Lucky escape:rolleyes:

    The moral panic surrounding paedophilia continues unabated? What's new...

    Star over his backside makes it all the funnier. Well done to Asda.

    I have four photos of my godchild in my sitting room.
    The cops just called to my house (fúcking warrant from 2001). I'm lucky they didn't see the (fully clothed) pictures of her.

    I've always felt taking nude photos of babies/toddler is distasteful. I would have been furious had my parents taken any of me, and I've never taken any of my own children.

    They should be kept in a sack at all times, except for birthdays and Christmas.

    This is as mad.

    A mother barred from a school disco because she hadn't had a "paedo check".

    Another could not kiss her daughter goodbye on a school trip because she had not been vetted.

    "I am likely to usher my wife forward if a child falls over in the street, lest my picking up the child could be misinterpreted." - Martin Narey, CEO of Barnardo's.

    I have warned my family to never ever put my picture on a cake. I hate picture cakes - they're creepy!

    Yeh, it was one of those big cakes. She jumped out of it stark naked (except for two tassles) at her son's party.:pac:

    Bit with the picture tastes nasty aswell.

    She should be locked up, along with all those dirty parents who look at their naked babies. And doctors and midwives who don't wear blindfolds at births, the perverts.

    I honestly think the world could benefit if watching South Park was mandatory

    I'm kind of dissapointed by this thread - the title has so much potential, a large black forest gateaux baiting and grooming children on MSN, arranging a meet up and then the inevitable

    It had potential to be the thread of the year ...
    Has i known she would be a victim to peadophilic cake I would have tracked her online activity more vigilantly, i'm a terrible mother

    Taken pictures of your child in the school play or on sports day is also verboten now

    The cake is a lie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Either the day will come when taking a picture of any child is forbidden, full stop, or we'll FINALLY stop reading and believeing the tabloids and learn to use our own minds.

    I'm not sure which.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Orwells world springs to mind .It's just the early period now
