XXX Porno Candy?

Again I go away for a week and I miss a brouhaha over a brand of sweet sold by Haribo called MAOAM. According to the Telegraph Simon Simpkins of Pontefract was shocked at the "pornographic" poses when he bought the sour candy for his children.

"The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter,” he said."The lime, who I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face. I demanded to see the shop manager and, during a heated exchange, my wife became quite distressed and had to sit down in the car park."

Haribo said the sweets, which feature illustrations of lemon, lime and cherry characters, said the "fun" packaging was introduced in Germany in 2002. A spokesman said: "This jovial MAOAM man is very popular with fans, both young and old."

Well I say it’s filthy and perverted and will be gathering a mob together to burn all Haribo products I can find, along with a few books and records which are vaguely offensive too.... seethe, rage (exits foaming at mouth and ranting about single parents and national service...)
