A local brewer says he is 'incandescent with rage' the famously nude giant was given trousers.
A cheese company has been criticised for its use of a 180ft naked chalk figure - with an important omission.
The Oxford Cheese Company printed the Cerne Abbas Giant on a label for one of its products, but without its penis. Cerne Abbas Brewery, which also uses the giant's image, said the company had "exploited" the popular attraction. The cheese company said it also uses the uncensored image, but created a logo with "trousers" at the request of a major supermarket chain.But in a Facebook post the brewery said it had misused the image by removing the giant's historic symbol of fertility.
It said: "The Oxford Cheese Company you are a disgrace! We are strongly proud of our heritage and to deface a national monument to sell some smelly old cheese is a disgrace."
