Lord Noel says "Gimme some before I SCREAM!"

What ho! Peeps.....

...Lord Noel here.....

We all love the taste of it.....

....and how it looks......

...lying there in a wonderful cascade of invitingly bright colours....

....slowly melting away to ultimate softness before our eyes....

"Anyone got a spoon?" - Will Cotton's delicious painting entitled 'Ice Cream Cavern'

....murmuring temptingly to our ever-hungry subconsciousness.....

..."Eat Me!.....

.... Lick Me!....

..... Suck Me!"...

Sniff it! Even Chanel had to get in on the Act

...it's no wonder that Ice Cream advertisers have continued...

...to try to link Ice Cream with sex...

...wherever they possibly could....

The Holanda 'Seafood' range never really took off!

....not always such a clever marketing ploy....

But the latest award for Creative Marketing must go....

...to the Italian Ice Cream makers Antonio Federici.....

....who have chosen to use a highly controversial...

...'Ecclesiastical Theme'.....

....with one poster featuring a heavily pregnant Nun....

....and the strap line "Immaculately Conceived"....

....and there's another of two male priests...
....looking longingly into each others eyes....

.....as if they are just about to kiss.....

....with the strap "We Believe in Salivation".......

I bet you bally well do! Wallop! Har! Har!
There are other posters featuring a Nun and a Priest....

....and they are locked in compromising positions in various states of undress......

....Ice Cream is clearly 'The Devil's Work'

....and just in case we hadn't quite got the message..

...we are told to "Kiss Temptation" and "Submit to Temptation"

Okay! Where do I sign up?....

The 'Submit to Temptation' is a continuation of their previous marketing campaign.....

....but without the Clergy.....

Or maybe it IS the clergy...only now they're naked?
Anyway, I'm sure it's just sheer co-incidence but this campaign was due to proceed....

....today - at exactly the same as the planned visit to the United Kingdom of....

....His Holiness The Pope!

Lord Noel enjoys a pint of beer with His Holiness the Pope!

Tallyho!

Best Wishes - Lord Noel
