British Mayo ad pulled over gay content

[thegayhare]

yeah it seems realy stupid but 200 people complained about an ad for hienz mayo.

after getting 200 complaints in a week (which is a tiny amount I think) Hienz pulled the ad

now after hearing Gay and mayo, and suacy.  I'm sure your imaginations is all over the place but here is the actual ad

What do you think?

[Reese Tora]

well, I was expecting them to change deli guy to mom at some point, but I don't see a problem with it.(preferable durring or just after the kiss, durring a camera cut or while 'mom' is obscured by dad)

If this had aired down south, someone'd be dancing the hemp fandango, though.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Heh.

I find it hysterically funny, actually.

[thegayhare]

Heh.

I find it hysterically funny, actually.

So do I

It's not a bad comercial

That would actually be slightly clever of them; lets 'em have their cake and eat it too, so to speak.

The ad is fine as is to me though.

What a stupid ad. Honestly, that is one crap ad. Why? Because it's boring. Really, really boring, unless you've got some hangup on men kissing.

[Darkmoon]

I thought it was amusing, but not anything amazing.

[Brunhidden]

i would have found it funnier if traditional typical housemom were dressed like a new york butcher and talking like a new york butcher- then you actually get the joke instead of just thinking its a normal gay couple without a joke because thats the politically correct thing to think.

political correctness has wounded humor for all.

I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.

More like introduced comedy to the phrase "work makes one free."

Anyway, I see nothing wrong with the comercial, but since I'm an American and this is in the U.K., I'm not going to give a rat's ass about it.

[Zedd]

I find it cute to be blunt

[RobbieThe1st]

My first impression was that the new york butcher somehow just replaced mom - The little boy gives a "Huh" look when 'mom' turns around and is revealed to be the butcher.

I agree with Brunhidden.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Meh.

In hindsight, there's not even any tongue. Sheesh. Tempest in a teacup.

Like Billo over on Fox Noise. He went off about the ad, and his guest at the time basically told Bill he was an idiot.
