Heinz pulls mayonnaise ad over gay kiss furore
Jenny Booth

A mayonnaise ad that shows two men kissing has been withdrawn from television after 200 viewers complained that it was offensive.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4205422.ece

How much do you want to bet that if it was two women no one would complain?
The Heinz company caved in. Cowards.

I think so to. I will have to admit it took me a step back on first seeing it but I thought it was a great commercial. They caved for sure.

What was so terrible? It wasn't a long burly tongue swallowing deal. It was a little peck. Big F'in' Deal!

No I didn't say terrible. It was new.

I thought it was cute.

Notice the deli guy's leg back-kick for the kiss?

I did too, specially the way the kids called him mum. I think they should play it during the Republican convention.

Maybe in 10 years we won't be so afraid of ourselves that the ad can actually air without people's head a-splode.

I think the "terrible" parts were when the daughter called cheffy "Mom", and Mom called dad "Sweet Cheeks".

Personally I don't find it offensive.

Sweet cheeks was a bit much but I thought the mom thing was cute.

There are people being slaughtered as we
debate this bullshit nonsense.

tits

it is like they say, I am ok with you gays as long as you dont flaunt it

dont force me to see two men show genuine love for each other, it pisses me off

and you wanna know what upsets me, people dying in iraq for no reason

and the flaunt it remark, by the way is sarcasm, you see some people think it is ok to be gay just as long as
they dont have to know about it or see it or deal with it in anyway

fuck them

Don't be all up in another's face about one's gayness?

What does one do? Stay indoors just to make another happy?

I wish another's homophobia wasn't flaunted. I don't need that all up in my face.

It's the price we pay for the time we're living in. Hopefully future generations will have dealt with it and gone on to better things than worrying about what a person does in their own bed rooms.

YES

You guys want to come out of the closet ... no problem. I just dont want to have the crap slapped into my face when it turns my stomach.

These "better than thou", anal retentive conservatives need to realize that homosexuality is a reality, just like heterosexual couples.

Why does it turn your stomach? I'm a happily married heterosexual, my wife and I both watched the commercial and didn't find it offensive. Like I said before, it was new, and being new it was a start but not offensive, I got a chuckle out of it.

Im not into watching hetro either, if its a mayo commercial, fine. Its a homo commercial. If this is what I have to look forward to in on air tv, I'm glad they have tivo and netflicks.

Why does it "turn your stomach"???
What is so awful about love between two consenting adults?

Does it "turn your stomach" to see a heterosexual couple argue or fight?

There's nothing here you wouldn't see on Rosanne or any other sitcom, all they did was kiss it's just that it was two men and you let your mind take you to the bedroom.

lol, enjoy your no tv

I feel the same way about people eating olives... I understand that it's perfectly normal to eat olives and even to like them, but I get all ya ya when someone eats them in my presence, and don't even try to kiss me on the lips after you ate them.

I gotta ask a question though. I have seen many images of men and women kissing on this board and no one ever complained.

I changed my mind, Y'all ask the questions.

I know what you mean about the olives.

Hey Ace, how are Ya?

Doin great hows yourself...

Homophobia turns my stomach!!!

Well, I wont kiss a girl in front of you and you can please do the same for me. It's not a phobia, I just don't like it. That is it in a nutshell. Sorry if I am not politically correct.

I'm not a homosexual, nor am I a homophobe.

So am I an Olivephobe?

Edited for inebriation.

RANDI RHODES MESSAGE BOARD RULES

11) Do not post ... pornographic, or objectionable material.


If you keep up this trash talk about people publicly consuming olives in even just one more post (as if no one can tell, CWV, that you're feigning this disgust just as an excuse to shock us with this kind of smut), I will hit REPORT, and the wrath of the mods SHALL descend upon you! Try and keep it out of the gutter people!

With or without the pimento?

I'd put the olives down if I were you, I think he's serious.

It depends on whether they are green or black.

I thought about posting a disclaimer claiming I was speaking in parables but... well you know, I didn't think even the Mods could've saved me then.

OK, see, now you're just being blatantly crude.

Oh, don't be obtuse. Whatever could olives be analogous to?

It wouldn't matter if they were purple.

(Sorry X-Ray)

Ok, let me put it this way. Does anyone here want me to start posting pics of verrrrrry old people gettin' the hinkey on?

I promise you, it won't be pretty.

Old people sucking face, do I have any takers.

How about a fat ugly bitch eating an icecream cone. I would lose my lunch.

OUT THEE SATIN TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL i COMMAND YOU

Truth be told, I've been listening to music all night and haven't had a chance to watch the vid from the OP, but I'm thinking if this ad was for anything but Mayo it might have fared better.

I wasn't going to bring that up but I knew someone would go there. You might have a point.

Interesting how the entire concept of the spot is
lost by one second of 'unusual' behavior.

Maybe DeliGuy should have turned back into Mom
just for the kiss and the spot would not fail.

Or has it failed?
We are, after all, talking about it.

Ohhh... I think a Cialis or Viagra ad might have "raised" a few more objections, and RL would have had to shoot his TeeVee, or gouge his eyes out with a spork.
