Tesco Sorry Over 'Gay Best Friend' Doll
The retailer's website said the inflatable doll would "tell you if your bum looks big" and was a suitable gift for young children.
Tesco has withdrawn an inflatable figure labelled "gay best friend" and apologised for selling it.
It comes a day after the retailer was forced to remove a Halloween costume called "Psycho Ward" from its shelves after it sparked widespread criticism.
On its website Tesco said "The Inflatable g*y Best Friend" was suitable for children aged three to four and was an "amusing gift".
"If SEX in the City and Will & Grace taught us anything, it's that g*y best friends are in this season," the description of the product said.
"We've had the manbag, we've had leg warmers and iPhone fever, now it's time for the new craze.
"Although not much can be said for his own attire, your Inflatable g*y Best Friend is ready to give you fashion advice, tell you if your bum looks big and b**ch about everyone who doesn't wear Jimmy Choo's."
(edit)
"The webpage should have been removed at that time and we are looking into why it is still visible two months later.
"We have very clear guidelines for third party sellers who list items on our website, and are very sorry that on this occasion they weren't followed."
The product remains on sale on the Amazon website.

Asda and Tesco apologised for the Halloween costumes
Tesco and rival supermarket chain Asda both faced a backlash on Thursday over the sale of Halloween costumes which appeared to make light of mental health issues.

Sure wish that I knew more about that picture you posted. I’ve been doing searches but I suppose I haven’t landed the right search terms yet. My curiosity is in overdrive.

Well, I’ve only been to the London Tesco’s which is considered downscale from Sainsbury and Waitrose. The ones in London are not box stores.
To: Chode
Thanks. I guess it’s a fake. Someone in comments pointed out that his fro on the right is not right and that the Lite on the beer can is reversed/backwards. It sure had me going! hahaha!

I checked using GIMP 2.9 and if it is fake it is damn good. Way better than I could do.
Simplest answer is that kid might just look like obama.
