Now South Wales government ministor Grant McBride wants to ban a British entrepreneur from naming his beer Shag.
Sold internationally under the name Shag (after the bird, which features on the label!) and brewed in Holland the beer is the fourth that Mr McBride (a teetotaller and father-eight) has banned since becoming Gaming and Racing Minister in 2003 (others included Moo Joose and chocolate milkshake with vodka).
Mr McBride said:
To name the product Shag links it directly with sexual intercourse - and that’s not on.
It is irresponsible to link alcohol and sex so blatantly. I’m outraged by this product.”
The brewery said it was nothing more than “a storm in a glass of beer”.
Buggins says:
Eight kids? He can’t be offended by shagging! It’s a bit of fun, and the fact that adverisements feature a beer bottle on the backseat of a car with the catchphrase: “Fancy a Shag?” just adds to the fun!
