Artist puts sex scenes on biscuit tins in revenge

An artist who was sacked by a biscuit company took revenge by adding sex scenes to their famous tins.

Huntley & Palmer, which created Ginger Nuts, failed to spot the "extras" in its genteel garden party design, says The Sun.

Tens of thousands were sold before a grocer noticed a couple romping in the bushes, two dogs locked together and a jam jar with the word on it.

I just love creative people! Things like this must be why my employer has you escorted out of the office by a uniformed guard right after they can you and then they FedEx your belongings to you.

My husband had an ex-employee that launched a virus throughout their entire network, they have spend about $10K to fix all the computers. He launched it when he was asked to come into my husbands office, I guess he knew he was going to be fired. The guy is being sued to recoup the costs...it will take yrs to get anything out of this guy.

I think that is hilarious!! I love it.

Sexy Cookie Tin Snapped Up at Auction



LONDON (Reuters) - An otherwise ordinary cookie tin featuring hidden drawings of two dogs mating and a pair of naked lovers fetched 423 pounds ($752) at an English auction Friday -- proving that sex sells.



Cookie makers Huntley & Palmers sold thousands of the tins, decorated with an early 20th-century illustration of a genteel picnic, without realizing a disgruntled employee had painted in the sexually explicit scenes.


"It's really a pretty ordinary tin, but its obvious imperfections attracted a great deal of interest and it was bought by a private collector," said Helen Carless of Lawrence's Auctioneers in Somerset in southwest England.


"I guess it's true that sex certainly does sell -- even for biscuit tin collectors," she said.
