Asda refuse to print baby snap of son for 21st birthday cake... because he's naked James Tozer It was meant to be a gently embarrassing centrepiece for her son's 21st birthday. But when Gail Jordan asked bakery staff at Asda to print a photograph of him as a baby on to a cake they didn't see the funny side. After one look at the photograph – which featured her son David at about five months and lying on his front – they declared that putting it on the cake would constitute pornography because his bare bottom could be seen. And when the supermarket censors finally agreed to use the picture they insisted it had to have a strategically-placed star. Yesterday Miss Jordan said she was staggered that such a bit of innocent fun could be misconstrued as something illegal. 'They said it could be anyone's child so it could be deemed pornographic,' the 41- year-old care worker said. 'But I was asking to have it printed on a 21st birthday cake, so surely it was pretty obvious that it was my son. 'It's ridiculous – I understand they have rules, but there ought to be a place for common sense as well. 'In the end they would only do it with a star over his bottom, which to be honest made the whole thing even more hilarious.' Miss Jordan had gone to a branch of Asda in Liscard, Wirral, with the snap from the family album to take advantage of a £9.97 offer to ice a birthday cake with a photo printed on the top.
