Moviegoer spots X-rated word in cinema seating plan for kids' movie
One Sydney moviegoer received quite the shock recently after attempting to buy tickets to a children's film.
Reddit user Alphasierra took to the social media platform this week to share the results of a rather X-rated prank.
The user was attempting to buy tickets for the 2025 live-action reboot of the animated children's hit How To Train Your Dragon, but was surprised when checking out.
They shared an image that showed the cinema seating plan displayed when buying tickets.
The image showed the seating plan with red squares marked, indicating reserved seats.

However, one cheeky prankster, or pranksters had reserved a selection of seats that spelled out the word 'p***s' on the seat allocation screen.
'Trying to book how to train your dragon tickets in Sydney...just why lol,' the Redditor captioned the post.
The post was met with a flurry of comments from fellow moviegoers, with many suggesting this might not have been the best session to watch the film.
'Yeeeeeah don't go to that screening. Something tells me it will be an irritating crowd, one commented.
Another chimed in with a joking: 'Some 14 year old had a lot of money to spare with a lot of friends,' while one replied with a similar: 'Sounds like a Private School boys prank...who else would have the money?'
A fourth made light of the slightly misshapen 'P' in the word with: 'Everyone's so judgemental about eEnis' birthday movie treat with his friends.'
Many saw the funny side of the risqué prank with one movie fan chiming in with: 'Haha best thing I've seen in a while! Thanks for sharing.'
Meanwhile, others were quick to draw comparisons to the mayhem that ensued in cinemas across the globe during recent screenings of A Minecraft Movie.

'It sounds like movie crowds have been really irritating since that whole Minecraft movie crap,' one offered.
'I get it, teens are annoying, but I'm pretty sure we weren't this obnoxious when I was a teen.'
A Minecraft Movie, which first hit screens on April 3, has inspired multiple mid-show riots over the line 'chicken jockey' - and it's going viral on social media.
In a number of TikTok videos, teenagers can be seen jumping up and down on their seats, taking off their shirts, throwing popcorn and streamers across the cinema and screaming at the top of their lungs as soon as a scene plays showing a zombie riding a chicken in a boxing ring.
Those familiar with the game, that the film is based on, will know that a 'chicken jockey' is a rare occurrence.
It's a rare mob - Minecraft lingo for monster - that happens when a baby zombie appears to ride a chicken and, according to the Minecraft Game wiki, only has a five per cent chance of occurring during the game.
So, when it plays out in the movie, fans of the game become pretty excited at the rare sighting.
There have even been incidents where security has been called and the movie stopped, thanks to the rowdy behaviour the film elicits.

In one video posted to TikTok by Aussie social media user @tahliaclaireg, the cinema was left in a state with popcorn across the seats, toilet paper strewn across the floor and even a 'wet floor' sign lying in the mess.
She captioned the post: 'Aftermath of the Minecraft Movie (security called and movie stopped).'
Fans of the film have taken to social media to respond to the now-viral trend, documenting the chaos that unfolds in the cinemas while empathising with the staff who have to clean up the mess.
'How I imagine it feels to be a cinema employee rn, hearing people scream "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" all day,' one person wrote.
'People at the cinema going crazy over the "Chicken Jockey" scene,' another noted.
One person chimed in: 'Asked the poor theatre attendant how many times he heard chicken jockey and he looked at me like this.'
How To Train Your Dragon, meanwhile is a live action reboot of the classic 2010 Dreamworks Animation film.

Asher Keddie's artist husband Vincent Fantauzzo reveals he was forced to lie to her to hide his childhood abuse
Asher Keddie's husband has opened up on the childhood abuse that he kept hidden for years - even from his wife. Vincent Fantauzzo told the No Filter podcast this week that before sharing his traumatic background in his book new, Unveiled, which was released in March, he had not told anyone in his life what he had been through. The artist says he was forced to lie to 'hide his shame' as the dark memories of suffering sexual abuse as a child were too much to bear. 'I was talking to a friend yesterday and who had just read the book, and he said. "you know you could've talked to me, like we talk about everything always". Like he was offended - but he wasn't' Vincent said. 'He's a very nice person, but he thought, "you could've spoken to me about this". I didn't speak to anyone at all at all' he continued. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm pretty good at lying when it comes to shame.' Vincent said that Asher 'picks up his lies a mile away' but when it came to the abuse, he was able to hide it. 'I couldn't tell anyone at all. It's funny thing about abuse, I can't even talk about it in detail' he added. Vincent said that he has been 'stuck with a reaction' to what happened to him that affects him every day. Speaking to The Age earlier this year, Vincent said that he didn't want to hide anymore but admitted it was a challenge. 'It was extremely difficult – like, really, difficult to actually not sweep the past under the rug any more, and face things that happened and things that I'd never spoken about to anyone, even Asher' he said. In the process of writing his book, he found a way to raise the topic with his wife - and it improved their marriage. 'It helped her understand my reactions to things generally … [like if] there was something about children on the news, she'd wonder why that impacted me so much. Everything started to explain itself' he said. Asher recently offered a rare insight into her 11 year marriage while discussing how the couple met. The actress, 50, revealed in Marie Claire that met Vincent after her agent convinced her to let him paint a portrait of her. She explained that while he was painting her, Vincent would look over the camera and they locked eyes. 'He still does that eyes above the camera; he's very charming,' she said. Asher continued to say the couple love parenting their children together as it gives them 'the feeling of togetherness'. 'What we enjoy most – and I know we both feel like this – is sharing the parenting. I love that feeling of togetherness we have in parenting them and being part of their lives,' she added. She also shared a glimpse into the couple's home life with their son, Valentino, nine, and Vincent's 14-year-old son Luca, from a previous marriage. 'I take care of stuff when I come home... but we have different roles within the house and as long as the kids come first, everything falls into place,' she added. Asher and Vincent tied the knot in the beachside ceremony on Fiji's Turtle Island in April 2014. The couple went on to welcome son Valentino in March 2015. Vincent's famous works include striking portraits of Julia Gillard, Baz Luhrmann and Heath Ledger, with his work highlighting the depth of Ledger's mental struggle was revealed one month after his death in 2008. The artist has a hotel in Brisbane named after him, which is filled with his paintings. Vincent, a four-time Archibald People's Choice prize winning artist, likes to spend time with his subjects before painting them, adding a personal relationship to his creative idea before putting his brush on the canvas.

Shoppers race to buy never-before seen Cadbury Dairy Milk flavour that's dropped in B&M stores
CHOCOLATE lovers are going wild for a brand new Cadbury bar that's just landed on UK shelves and it's only available at B&M. The limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake has hit the bargain retailer, and fans are already scrambling to get their hands on it. The sweet treat, which hails all the way from Australia, has never been seen in the UK before. It's part of B&M's range of imported Aussie snacks and is already causing a stir online. Foodie Instagram page @treatsinstore shared the find with followers, posting: 'OUT NOW Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mudcake (Australia 🇦🇺) £2.99. Available in the UK at @bm_stores'. The flavour combines Cadbury's signature Dairy Milk chocolate with caramelised white chocolate, a gooey caramel-flavoured crème centre and crunchy choc biscuit pieces – inspired by the iconic Aussie caramel mudcake. One shopper raved: 'Looks so good." While another pointed out what a great bargain it was, saying: 'I bought two of them for £7 from an online store!' Another fan added: 'These are so nice." But you'll have to be quick – the Caramel Mudcake bar is exclusive to B&M and only available in-store, so there's no option to order online. To track one down, choc fans will need to head to their local B&M. You can use the store locator on the retailer's website to find your nearest branch. We couldn't find the Caramel Mudcake bar stocked anywhere else in the UK, making it one of the rarest Cadbury imports around right now. It follows the success of another Aussie gem B&M brought in earlier this year – the Dairy Milk Rounds. Shoppers were thrilled when the bite-sized chocs made their way onto shelves, with one fan posting their find on Facebook and others piling into the comments desperate to bag a box. One person wrote: 'Love those,' while another added: 'Yes please… yummy.' Like the new Mudcake flavour, Dairy Milk Rounds were also store-only, with no delivery option available through B&M. The Sun has contacted Cadbury to confirm whether the bar will remain exclusive to B&M. Compare prices As always, it pays to shop smart. Before snapping up novelty snacks, check comparison sites like or to make sure you're getting the best deal. Some imported treats can be cheaper from other retailers or online sweet shops – but beware of delivery fees. How to compare prices to get the best deal JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. Cadbury summer finds The Caramel Mudcake launch comes just days after Cadbury unveiled its new Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars and the Iced Latte flavour – both wrapped in cold-activated packaging that transforms in the fridge. Earlier this month, fans also spotted Dairy Milk Balls in stores, with many comparing them to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters from the '90s. Just a few weeks ago the chocolate giant rolled out its limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, combining flaky Twirl layers with silky white chocolate. From iced latte Twirls to chocolate-coffee collabs with Kenco, it looks like summer 2025 is shaping up to be a choc-filled paradise for sweet-toothed Brits. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
