Publisher Oxford University Press (OUP) has defended dubious scenes in one of its children’s books after a reader noticed a little background dogging.
On one of the pages in the story, a group of gay looking men can be seen disappearing behind a bush, shortly before an old lady’s glasses are illustrated popping off in shock at what she sees behind the bush.
Responding to the reader, OUP rather unconvincingly tweeted:
Interesting spot but some of the pages are missing from this title! We can reassure you nothing untoward is going on behind that bush.
There are pages missing in the original tweet, which takes the images from Pond Dipping out of context.
The pages in between show some dogs chasing each other, children running and a man carrying a mysteriously large bag.
The book in question, Pond Dipping , was written by Roderick Hunt and illustrated by Alex Brychta, as part of a long-running series describing the adventures of children Biff, Chip and Kipper.
The article for some reason doesn’t mention an alternative meaning of ‘pond dipping’. See definition from urbandictionary.com :
The act of pissing in a love mates mouth then teabagging (the insertion of one man’s sack into another person’s mouth) him.
