OTTAWA, Dec 6 (Reuters) - One of Canada's leading cinema
chains has stopped handing out Christmas wrapping paper to its
patrons after parents complained it featured angels fondling
each other suggestively, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
Famous Players acted after the wrapping paper -- a
promotion for the Virgin Mobile phone service -- was
handed out to young children.
The paper features a male angel grasping the breast of his
female partner, while she has hold of his genitals, as they
kiss. Both are fully clothed in white angel attire.
"It would have been great for the right age group but
clearly it wasn't suitable for children," a spokeswoman for
Famous Players told the National Post newspaper.
Famous Players is part of Cineplex Entertainment LP, which
is 50.5 percent owned by the Cineplex Galaxy Income Fund
. Cineplex did not return a call seeking comment.
