A row has broken out in Holland over an alcoholic drink served in sperm-shaped bottles.
Anti-drinking campaigners say it is a marketing gimmick which wrongly associates sex with alcohol.
The bottles of Popsy contain a vanilla-caramel flavoured drink carrying the slogan "I'm coming".
The Dutch Foundation for Alcohol Prevention says the campaign is perverse and breaks advertising codes.
He says the codes are there to prevent the link being drawn between drinking and sexual or social success.
The Foundation's Wim Van Dalen told Twentse Courant Tubantia: "They've crossed the bounds of decency. Its absolutely not done to link alcohol to sexuality that way."
Who'ed EVER want to drink from" sperm-shapes container (except gays I'd guess.)
A "woman" who wanted to tantaleyes/scandaleyes/embarrass/provoke her "date"/"partner"/"customer" would want to use a "sperm container-shaped container" instead....... And almost all prospective customers would eagerly pay for the opportunity to see it.
... And her prospective partner/customer would, of course, immediately understand she's gonna later use the real thing.
OMG .. ROFLOL ..
Not to be crude, but they really should mention the color and texture of the drink.
