The petition creator, citizenGo calls for the removal of the “sexualised ad” saying
“For those of all faiths and none, the Cadbury’s Creme Egg has become a synonymous part of Easter celebrations in the United Kingdom. Cadbury’s know full-well that their product is enjoyed by children and deliberately market it at this demographic, making this campaign even more irresponsible. Cadbury’s is traditionally a brand associated with families”.
“Exposing children to sexualised content constitutes a form of grooming. It is well-known that children will often copy what they see on the screen”.
The Petition calls for Guy Parker, Chief Executive of the Advertising Standards Agency and Louise Stigant, Managing Director of Cadbury’s UK to take action and “immediately withdraw the advert from mainstream circulation”.
