It's Just A Kiss
This Heinz Deli Mayo ad featuring two dudes kissing was taken off the air after receiving more than 200 complaints in one week from a bunch of sensitive whores. I mean, the ad doesn't even have tongue or a salad toss. The whiners bitched that the ad was "offensive" and "unsuitable to be seen by children" and also forced them to talk about same-sex relationships with their kiddies.
Heinz UK said, "It is our policy to listen to consumers."
Several gay rights group have already asked for a boycott of all Heinz products. One of the HBICs of Stonewall, a gay rights group, told The Telegraph, "We're shocked that an innocuous ad should have been withdrawn in this way. I can't imagine that Heinz would respond to protests about black people featuring in their adverts."
Heinz needs to send me the addresses of all the 200 measly skanks who complained. I'll send them private videos of all the kinky homo shit I can do with mayo. Give them something to really complain about. Mmmm....mayo. I can eat that shit by the spoonful. I can eat mayo and butter sandwiches all day long. But not Heinz! I'm a Hellmann's lover anyway.

Ok, one more comment and I'm done for awhile: no, I don't think that a homosexual relationship was at all trying to be inferred by the commercial. If you'll notice at the end they say 'mayo with New York deli flavor', hence the NY deli man. They were trying to be tongue in cheek, IMO. Thx dlisters!!!

ooooo, 200 complaints, OMG call in the SWAT team to stop the rioting and unrest....
Gee, I wonder what would have happened if it aired during the Super Bowl?
Yes, watching this commercial will make you gay/gayelle. It only takes 45 seconds don'tcha know.

Grr...this is irritating... why DID that dude feel the need to drag black people into the argument? This is total kettle stirring; next thing we know Al Sharpton will be issuing a statement...

Cripes. This is cute. Why would parents complain about this? It has nothing to do with same-sex relationships. Even if it did, kiddies are going to learn all the facts of life sooner or later
***********************************************
Are you sure you watched the same commercial that we did?????
It is obvious that the two men in the commercial are "together"
@Jimmy Bocca: Please go back and read the original article and then I think you will see why black people were mentioned...thanks a bunch. And BTW, grouping all blacks as a bunch of oversenstive whiny babies is just as bigoted as you seem to think this ad is against gays.

I love how black people get so offended when people who are discriminated against compare their struggle to theirs. It pains me to see how ignorant thier mind sets are that they can't realize that bigotry is bigotry. Regardless of the form. And comparing homophobia which is more rampant then racism is to prove a point that we are ALL HUMAN regardless of race or sexual orientation. GET A CLUE PEOPLE ( aka bossy and Khandi )
Ummm, just one problem there...I'm not black. So I'm not a black person offended because something was compared against "my" black struggle. I haven't had a black struggle and I never will.
I just don't find that making the comparisson of homophobia to racism is necessary. It weakens the argument. People already have a good idea of what discrimination means or is so there's no real need to drag in other issues, particularily in press statements. I mean seriously, how many times have you heard people say that someone is akin to Hitler or something is as bad as the Holocaust? It's excessive, unwaranted and unnecessary. The way you said, "It's bigotry and all people are equal, get over it" is much more effective than a cliche comparisson.
My point is, words that stir up people the ones that are specific to the situation and describe it--not cliche comparissons. Comparing something to the civil rights struggle of black people is so cliche. The gay community has its own struggle and that's not cliche, it's stating what is.

Mayo has NO taste, and is just some gloop to make your sandwich less dry.

People are really on a roll getting commercials yanked off the air for alleged offensiveness. First it was the Dunkin Donuts ad because Rachael Ray was wearing a black and white scarf that supported Hamas, and now it's the deli man-mom. Sheesh, lighten up, fools.
With all the raunchy ass stuff they show on TV, ESPECIALLY in the UK, people are complaining about that? That was nothing; I was expecting a full blown make out session or something. Those 200 people need to get lives.

Well, I won't lie - it makes me feel better to see other countries have over-sensitive rubes, too.
Two guys kissing is apparently wrong, yet gaping head wounds on prime time TV is perfectly fine. Interesting. It's the same conservative christian mind set that if a child is exposed to a womans breast on television, it is going to scar them for life. Boobs and kissing is bad! Bad!
I thought this ad was adorable and much less debauched than a lot of other crap that winds up on TV completely unprotested.
Oh fer cryin out loud...
The whole concept appears to be that "Mom" has to do so much short-order cooking, she may as well be a New York Deli guy.
This commercial isn't about same-sex relationships at all!
Dimwits.
Do these people think their kids are going to become gay from watching the commercial? BAAHAHAHAHAHA

JimmyBocca. I asked a simple question, you did not have to go into such a tirade. Calm down.
I was just about to mention Miracle Whip. I love that shit. Its so tangy and it just does great things to ham, cheese, and bread. Mayo is disgusting.

Miracle Whip is bomb too!! There is a fat kid in me who is constantly trying to get out.

Just watched the commercial and I find NOTHING offensive about it at all. It was cute! Some people aren't happy unless they have something to bitch about 24/7.
this ad is totally adorable and clever!
and please, you're from the west coast!! it's not Hellman's, it's BEST FOODS.
Fuck mayo!
It's Miracle Whip, sluts!

@devilgirl~ lol, I just said the same to you in the other thread!!!
"paris does not spread her legs 4 everyone! for god crying out load!!" Kitty Z. another loon
Loved the ad because the little peck was unexpected. I can't believe people actually took time out from their day to complain about the commercial. Homophobes ruin all the fun.
Ok, so no baked beans for me in a minute. Thankfully it wasn't Hellman's cos I use their mayo on everything.
I don't think the commercial was that bad. Studies show that violence on TV is more damaging to children than sex and/or nudity. What's the big deal about a kiss? If your child asks, simply explain that some people prefer to be with the same gender rather than the opposite.
Oh, and how do parents explain Lynx (Axe) commercials to their children? There are very few things i hate, but two of them happen to be hypocrites and homophobes.

So two guys giving each other a little peck on the lips is "unsuitable to be seen by children," yet women dancing around half-naked in barely-there lingerie is ok. Makes perfect sense.

I was wondering what Hellman's was but zomay, you cleared that up. I use Best Foods.

Children don't make any differentiation until someone points out that it is "abnormal" or "sinful" behavior.
Mayo is the most disgusting shit ever. I cant believe people eat that. Fuckin foul.

Is this place in any way connected to Teresa Heinz?

Nevertheless, I did like the commercial. At least it didn't feature the stereotyped flaming homos dressed in pink and kissing the air.
"Ain't you forgettin' somethin'??" Haha! Too cute.

Heinz fucked up. They should have STARTED with the hardcore quickie anal in the kitchen, and then they could have negotiated to the much more subtle kissing version.

It was the hand touching the chin that I bet people freaked out about more. I mean yeah, the kiss I'm sure got the homophobes going. But the hand chin thing was too intimate. You know?
I guess you dont want to see what my hand it touching right now. Its intimate and there is mayo involved.

anyone that wrote in and complained about this ad is an utter moron. it's quite obvious that the "wife" is still there but she just happens to be the new yawk deli man when she's spreadin' on the mayo. it's called metaphor. if anyone should be offended, it should be gays at the fact that Heinz doesn't have the balls to actually show two men in a relationship raising two children. now that would be titillating. (irony implied.)
"Two dudes kissing?! Blasphemy!"
"They took down the ad?! Let's boycott Heinz!"
Everyone is so damn sensitive.
