"I'll Bet £1,000 No One Was Offended!" Comedian HITS OUT At Sadiq Khan Banning Hot Dog Photo
Comedian Ed Gamble has been forced to remove a picture of a hot dog from posters promoting his stand-up tour on the Tube network after it breached advertising policy. The Off Menu podcast host was pictured with the fast-food item in an advert for his upcoming show titled ‘Hot Diggity Dog.' When the billboards were sent to TfL for display on the Underground, Gamble was told to alter the poster because it failed to comply with the organisation’s advertising policy on featuring foods high in fat, sugar and salt. The comedian instead swapped the hot dog for a cucumber to get the promotional material on display. In a post on Instagram, Gamble described the incident as a “career highlight” and said: “TfL told me I couldn’t have a hot dog on my poster to promote my @hackneyempire shows in June. I guess I’m dangerous? So I’ve replaced it with a cucumber. Eat your greens, Kids!” TalkTV's Kevin O'Sullivan and Alex Phillips are joined by comedian Mike Mclean who blasts the decision to remove the hot dog and says: “I’ll put £1,000 on it that nobody has gone on the Tube, seen that picture and thought ‘that’s going to offend someone'.” #comediaN #hotdog #sadiqkhan #london Click here for more from TalkTV https://talk.tv If you need any help visit: https://talk.tv/helplines
