A mother who wanted to give a birthday cake to her son featuring a photo of him as a baby was forced to have it censored because it showed his bottom. Gail Jordan, 41, had gone to Asda in Liscard, Wirral, on 13 June with the photo of her 21-year-old son David taken when he was five months old. Staff at the supermarket refused to scan the picture onto a cake as it featured nudity. They eventually printed the image onto the icing with a star over the bottom. Mrs Jordan, of Rock Ferry, said: "I took the photo of my son to the store in Liscard and they said we can't do that - it's nudity. "It was a photo of my son at five-months-old. I could not believe it.
