Cape Town — The Film Classification Board in Kenya has asked Coca-Cola to delete a kissing scene in a television advertisement because it "violates family values", according to the BBC.

The offending scene involves two strangers in a library.

Ezekiel Mutua, head of the film board, is reported to have said, "Coca-Cola has agreed to release a new version of the commercial without the scene."
