Transport for London stasi/nanny state?

[Widgetone]

Its London so it doesn't bother me overly, but anyone see that TfL banned an ad for a play showing a couple cutting a wedding cake ( Times on Sat if anyone techy could put it up? ).

Said it was because it promoted unhealthy eating ffs, really!? They will ban Krispy Kreme delivery trucks next, and as for McDonalds...

Yet they allow planning permission for McDonald's, KFC, Greggs and all the other junk food outlets under the sun.

Ban all that crap and stop sales of sugary drinks and the nation might just stop being a bunch of soft lazy trash.

Alternatively, spend a lot more time writing self discipline, self management (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), self respect etc into the curriculum.

Couldn't help but think the main objection was that the couple portrayed cutting the cake were both white, and of opposite sex!

Can't remember if it was on buses or the tube, but they allowed an ad' for queer sex lube some years ago.

IMO the most healthy thing in McDonalds is probably the burger.

If it's this one it was not allowed because it fell foul of their 'junk food' advertising stance. Nothing to do with ethnicity

It could be argued that modern weddings impact on climate change and are an extravagant waste of resources. Do transport For London consider that travellers to weddings should be banned from their network?

The ad or the lube?
