Posters showing wedding cake banned

Oh for heaven’s sake.
I’m speechless.
The priorities in this country…

TFL trying to make us watch out diets. At least it's given publicity to the production.

I thought, when I saw the Original Poster, it was going to be because a wedding cake was viewed as hetero-normative, and thus offensive to those who are not.

I think banning the poster because wedding cake is fattening if eaten to excess and on a regular basis is just as ludicrous.

London voted for a woke mayor, this is what you get.

Oh, that's wonderful!
Thank you for the chuckle to start the day.

After all a slice of wedding cake is definitely a treat as no one gets more than one slice and how often does the average person attend a wedding? Just another example of how Silly blanket rules and generalisations can be.

So are they going to ban pictures of cars because some people drive badly and cause accidents?

Pictures of dogs because they can bite you?

And so on ...

It's absolutely bonkers...

Yes, they've probably got far more publicity from the ban than they would have done from the posters.

Link struck through because it contains starchy potatoes, olive oil, salt and other undesirable substances.

Sounds delicious very bad for you !!

By that standard, how on earth will any of the fast food chains ever get an advert accepted again?

Have they got nothing better to do?

Typical nanny state thinking

lixy I thought we needed a topic to laugh about .

Yes hopefully it’s helped with their viewing/attendance figures. Too far away for me. All that money on advertising and marketing, I dread to think of the cost for advertising on tv channels!

TBH however, it does confirm what I've been telling people for years - if I just look at cake, I get fatter etc etc.

It says in the blurb that it's a three tier sponge cake. I'm SHOCKED. When did wedding cake stop being a rich fruit cake pieces of which that one wrapped into small parcels to send to people who weren't at the wedding?

Sponge cake!? The murder of a lovely tradition.

Humph! I say

Absolutely flipping ridiculous.

My sisters and I went to Tony and Tina's wedding many years ago when we were holidaying in Las Vegas. It was a great night's entertainment, where the audience are treated as wedding guests and join in the meal and dancing at the 'reception ', chatting to the actors in role...
A new experience for us, I'd recommend it for a light hearted evening out.
Yes, there was cake! 🎂

Just decided that we will go. I hadn’t heard of it till now so thanks for that. Hope the publicity boots their numbers
A friend went to an ‘eating’ play the other week, something to do with an aeroplane. She said it was fantastic.

I had a word with my DD about this; she's an academic and obesity is her area of interest.

She said that TfL (and maybe other transport companies) has a ban on the advertising of goods which could cause obesity. She thinks that banning this poster is really a bit stupid, but it might be to forestall other companies complaining that they are not allowed to advertise their --obesity causing--products with TfL. Though this wouldn't be particularly logical as the banned poster isn't 'selling' wedding cake, it's the advert for a play, isn't it?

You get a soggy parcel of sponge cake now, Baggs

The team spent £20,000 on the posters to go on London's transport network What a waste of money. Madness.
