Avast ye scallywags! 'Tis said a British jester be forced to banish a likeness of a succulent sausage from his broadside in the London underground. Arrr, the audacity of the landlubbers! Let us raise a toast to the forbidden frankfurter!
In the belly of the London Underground, the matter of hot dogs be no joke, mateys! Comedian Ed Gamble found himself in a pickle when his poster for the show "Hot Diggity Dog" was deemed too naughty by the transit network, for it featured a half-eaten hot dog, aye.Bemused and befuddled, Gamble swapped the wiener for a cucumber and the day was saved, arrr! Despite being a diabetic and a foodie, Gamble understood the need for such rules to keep the little scallywags away from obesity.Yet, the lad couldn't help but jest that the new posters be spreading a far more dangerous message - that cucumbers be a fine mate for ketchup and mustard, yo-ho-ho!Transport for London, in their wisdom, be banning ads for unhealthy grub and promoting unrealistic body shapes since 2019, blimey! And they made sure Gamble's revised poster fit the bill, savvy?Aye, the saga be a laugh for Gamble, giving him more publicity than a pirate's chest of gold doubloons! And beware, for even a poster for a play with a grand wedding cake got the chop by TFL, argg!The tabloid scallywags be crying foul, cursing the "killjoy TFL bosses," but rules be rules in this land of the London Underground, by Blackbeard's ghost!
