What do you think?

Do you find these pictures disturbing? Apparently at least one man does. A father buying Haribo candy for his family was extremely disgusted with them:




"Simon Simpkins was buying Haribo MAOAM sour candies for his children when he noticed the 'pornographic' illustrations of limes, lemons and cherries romping with each other.

Mr Simpkins, of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, said: 'The lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter.

'The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face."

But here's the thing. I'd like to know who decided that the green thing is a lime...Why would the lime get arms and legs but not the lemon??? Or the cherries???? I agree the green guy is probably the "gentleman", but couldn't he just be salivating in his greed to consume the fruit?...But then, why would the fruit be so delighted?

I suppose this remains a mystery, but, all in all, HARIBO candies are fantastic, and if they want their ads and characters to get a lil fruity with it, so be it!
