Saucy Sausage Commercial Controversy

“Think about all the things you can stick this tasty, extraordinarily large sausage in,”

British radio commercial for sausages

This commercial for a specific brand of sausages has elicited many complaints from parents who are horrified that the ads may cause harm to children. 

The controversy over this ad is foolishness — kids hear sexually explicit rap lyrics on the radio that make this commercial seem like a Mother Goose nursery rhyme.

The only way children might be harmed is if they try to stuff one of the sausages into their greedy little mouths.

Sometimes a sausage is just a sausage, get over it! I’d like to tell those prudes where they can stick the sausage.
