Comedian Ed Gamble has been told to change his poster on subway stations. The poster for the show, “Hot Diggity Dog,” showed a half-eaten hot dog on a plate with mustard and ketchup. Gamble had to change his poster because it broke the transit agency’s rule against showing junk food in ads. He then replaced the hot dog with a cucumber, and the poster was approved.
Gamble, who has diabetes, said that he could understand why the ad rules exist: to help curb obesity in children. Gamble jokingly said that his new poster is more harmful because it promotes the idea that cucumbers taste good with ketchup and mustard. His poster even gathered more publicity because of this issue.
Since 2019, Transport for London (TFL) has not allowed ads for foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt from the city’s train and bus stations. It also has not allowed ads that promote unhealthy or unrealistic body shapes. TFL said that it is always happy to help people follow the policy. However, Britain’s newspapers have criticized the policy. The Sun even described TFL leaders as “killjoys.”
