Tesco today withdrew the Gay best friend from their website, it was a little offensive, story here http://news.sky.com/story/1147246/tesco-sorry-over-gay-best-friend-doll

Never fear though, you can still get an Instant gay best friend on Amazon, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Inflatable-Best-Friend-Perfect/dp/B002QTB3TU
Don't get over excited though, the reviews aren't good. More of a bitter man than wkd.

Shame on tesco & amazon. You won't find those dolls in Dunnes

I'm always telling my gay best friend that he's a fashion accessory. He accepts it.

I didn't find it offensive.

How many clubcard points would I have got?

The product itself made me lol. As did the "Frequently Bought Together" section on Amazon.

I'm more at a loss as to why they treated "gay" as a swear word in the description.

Will people ever fúcking relax, why does everybody have to get offended by the littlest of things :mad:

That top review is gold.

Not impressed. I think this is defective.

I inflated him, and it was fun for an hour or so while we talked about which member of One Direction is the fittest and what a slut Miley Cyrus is. But then we went out on the town and things started to go dramatically downhill. First he ordered a pint of bitter, rather than the WKD I was expecting. Whilst supping on his pint he started talking about how he was actually quite 'straight-acting' and that all sexuality was just a continuum or something. It was so BORING. I just wanted us to twerk together.

We went to a gay club and I was so excited to go because I really LOVE gay people. But before long he just started snogging this big fat guy with a beard - which was so GROSS. There was like a whole hour where no one was paying me any attention and it just wasn't fair. Then this girl with an eye-brow piercing tried to dance with me. It was so off-putting.

We went back to my place to finish the night in our pyjamas and watch Americas Top Model but he wasn't really paying attention. He just kept looking at this app called Grindr on his iPhone and grunting. Then he had a massive crash from the MDMA and completely deflated.

I would NOT recommend this product.

The only thing that you could get offended by is the fact that Tesco think Gay is a word that in and of itself is offensive so they have to star out the middle letter.

Loike. F*ck that.
