An advert for mayonnaise which showed two men kissing each other has
been pulled after 202 people complained that it was 'offensive'.

The Heinz television commercial was also branded 'unsuitable for
children' by parents who contacted the Advertising Standards Authority.

'They didn't like the fact their children had seen it and they didn't
like that they had to explain to their children why two men were
kissing,' said an ASA spokesman.

Nigel Dickie, from Heinz, apologised and said the clip was meant to be
'humorous'.

But *** rights group Stonewall said it was shocked by Heinz's decision
and called for a boycott of the company's products.

I've seen the ad online and I thought it was sweet.

I think it's nice too, whenever people who love each other kiss, whether
or not they are male-female, same sex, pretty or homely.

Ignorant lazy *******s win again.

Fer ****s sake only the most reactionary of cretins would have read this
advert as having some pro-homosexual propaganda!! No doubt they will be
complaining about the scene in Rio Bravo, shown recently on ITV on a
Saturday afternoon, which features John Wayne kissing Walter Brennan? No
didn't think so.

For me, it's hard to imagine anything that'd make me *less* likely to
buy their products.
