"But some people are less amused by the U-benders pun"

I can only see one tweet in the story.

Who are these people referred to in the story?

I've seen these "in the flesh" - they're very striking!

[Spoonboy]

Lol.

as Gromit has pointed out, not a single person has said it's offensive. Talk about fabricating a story.

there is a cement mixer with the logo jim'll mix it, wondered why they haven't changed it yet.

I see nothing offensive - but then I am not gay, and not prone to being offended easily.

It's not the funniest thing I have ever seen, but it is a clever piece of advertising - I fail to see how it could be seen as a homophobic slur.

Offensive my arse ! ( ! )

Daily Mail up to its old tricks. "Some people" are offended. Evidence? One person who is undecided. Where are the rest?

No, it's not offensive, just jokey.
