Woops
Perhaps a second time round? 
how many 1000's of ppl have bought those sweets, seen the picture and not thought anything about it 
you would only think that it was pornographic if thats wot you are looking for - if you have a "dirty" mind you will find the most innocent of things "dirty" from pictures to conversations
how many ppl hear "double entendres" an dont get them and how many do

i doubt she'd of lived very long if she even so much as glanced at this forum
I think it was generally agreed the first time this topic was raised as a thread, that the letter was a joke ... the name of the complainant being a clue ...

quote:Quiet right to get upset! when are we gonna return innocence back to childhood? Companies who use this kind of tactic to sell stuff are just low in their morality! ( If the sweets are meant for the Adult market than they should be sold accordingly and placed in an 18 and overs area in the store!
Bravo! BRAVO ! Simon Simpkins More fathers should care enough about their childrens moral welfare !
PMSL ... these people need to get out a bit more I think ...
This is the full version of the letter...

Is Haribo Corrupting Our Nation's Children?
The other day, while doing our weekly shop, I bought for my two children, Benjamin and Ofelia, a packet of Haribo Maoam lemon-and-lime confectionary. It was only after I was leaving the check-out that I noticed the appaling illustration on the packaging.
This consists of a lemon and a lime locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter. The lime, who I assume to be the gentleman in the coupling, has a particularly distasteful 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. I was told to register my complaint with the manufacturer.
I'm glad I spotted this before my young children, who are both very sensitive. My wife and I have always tried to maintain their innocence - and to think our years of careful parenting could have been wrecked by, of all things, a sweet wrapper makes me livid.
I received a reply from the company saying that the wrapper design had been introduced in Germany in 2002 with a view to making the fruit figures "more modern and lively" to "better appeal to the consumer".
It said: "At no point was it intended to create sexual images". It had been shown to a number of children and adults of different age groups, none of whom has made any comments referring to the sexual content.
I consider this response less than satisfactory. As a member of our local church, I'm now urging other members of our flock to boycott Haribo products until this illustration is removed.
Simon Simpkins, Pontefract, West Yorks......
It`s definitely a wind up.

Sorry but i agree with Mr Simpkins the lime does have a lurid expression like he's having too much of a good time. Its unacceptable to have a sex pest on childrens sweet wrappers. He seems to be having a good time with the lemon, tongue hanging out etc and then there he is again licking the boobs cherries
