Google BANS café owner's advert for traditional "fag gots" after deeming post 'inappropriate

In this instance  "Fag gots" are just a type of rissole in Britain

A woman advertising bleep at her café called Fanny's says Google removed the post - because it was deemed 'offensive'.

Jo Evans-Pring, 63, was promoting her award-winning funky retro music diner 'Fanny's Rest Stop Café' in Newport, Wales.

Self-confessed technophobe Ms Evans-Pring turned to friend Chris Barnbrook for help - and the pair set up a website, Facebook page - and even began paying for adverts on Google.

Within just a few weeks, the mum-of-four, found that her business sales were soaring once again.

But one day after Ms Evans-Pring posted a picture of bleep with peas and onion gravy on her website, she got an email from Google stating the advert had been removed.

In the email, Google cited their content policy explaining not to post anything that could be construed as 'inappropriate and offensive content'.

Ms Evans-Pring said that she was 'absolutely startled by what's happened' and claims 'the world's gone totally mad if people are getting worked up over that'.

She claimed: 'People need to spend their time dealing with real problems, not things like whether or not the word 'bleep' when selling that meal is hateful.

Sounds like an off hoot of haggis

a Scottish dish consisting of a sheep's or calf's offal mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasoning and boiled in a bag, traditionally one made from the animal's stomach.

Well, so much for breakfast... :3:

I'm not a Brit, but isn't "fanny" a bad word in England.

If so, this whole thing is kind of ironic.  happy77

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Hell

Where the food is British
The cars are French
The police are German
The lovers are Swiss

And the whole thing is run by Italians
