Do Asda sell magazines with photos of semi-naked women on the covers????

I agree with Kitty,,it was a personal thing,,the mum wasnt wanting to have it published in the local paper. for gods sake .
Whover the person was at the store who said it was 'pornographic' must have a very wierd or small mind,,
I see nothing pornographic about a babies botty,,,,thy're meant to kissed and raspberried arent they?

We have adverts on TV showing naked babies ..............even one mum kissing her babies bottom.

Sorry...........but I think this is a ridiculous policy.

Thes picture wasn't being circulated for pornographic purposes, it was just going on a cake that the family would see.

I don't think you'll find ads for Pampers showing bare bottoms these days.

Everyone is free to take and keep bare-bottomed pictures of their own babies.

Low-level staff in grocery stores are not in a position to be deciding whether someone's naked baby pictures are harmless family fun or something more sinister. Does anyone deny that pictures of naked children can indeed be taken in circumstances that are in fact serious abuse? And that circulating pictures of naked children can be abuse of those children?

A business has to protect itself from being unwittingly involved in that sort of activity. The smartest thing is a policy that makes sure it doesn't happen.

I think this store's policy is sound and I don't think anyone suffered as a reuslt of it.

its shocking isnt it omg

parents will be stoped having skin to skin at birth next

dont they watch ads for "Pampers"? then

LOL at least they are " UP Front " about it!!

It seems you don,t get "Five Star Service" at Azda then, only "One Star" Very Downmarket.**M**.:o)>.

its a sign of the sad times we live in

its so sad

a babys a joy naked or dressed

Baby's bottom censored by store

A spokesman for Asda said they "don't do nudity" at any age
A mother who wanted to give a birthday cake to her son featuring a photo of him as a baby was forced to have it censored because it showed his bottom.

Gail Jordan, 41, had gone to Asda in Liscard, Wirral, on 13 June with the photo of her 21-year-old son David taken when he was five months old.

Staff at the supermarket refused to scan the picture onto a cake as it featured nudity.

They eventually printed the image onto the icing with a star over the bottom.

Mrs Jordan, of Rock Ferry, said: "I took the photo of my son to the store in Liscard and they said we can't do that - it's nudity.

"It was a photo of my son at five-months-old. I could not believe it.

'Not pornographic'

"Eventually another member of staff cut a star out and put it on his bottom on the cake.

"I just wanted a picture on his cake. Staff said it was deemed as pornographic.

"I don't normally shop there, but it would not stop me going back."

She added that her son was embarassed by the debacle but liked his cake.

A spokesman for Asda said: "We did not say it was pornographic. It is policy across the board that we don't do nudity of any sort at any age. It is nothing new.

"They (the staff) made a couple of suggestions - enlarge it so you take the bottom out of it, make the border different and another suggestion was putting a star on the offending area."
