Heinz to withdraw 'Gay Kiss' advert!

[panther]

Complaining about that advert??

What on earth for?.....I found it rather amusing...better than some crap they show.


ya know some people have nowt better to do than moan....they should GET A LIFE!!!

[WillowTheWhisp]

Yes I thought it was amusing too. It never even struck me as a gay kiss. Hardly passionate was it?

[thomas.lee]

Im glad not all people on here and so narrow minded.

[panther]

im very open-minded

I saw the ad on telly the other night and i liked the ad! i felt the same as willow i didnt even see them as Gay men he was a New York deli guy pretending to be Mum! Geeezzz!

[shakermaker]

It's a funny advert. What's the big deal?

People who find this offensive on uncomfortable homosexual scenes would also find the old Tango ads offensive*. Which is pretty absurd; the advert hasn't even got anything to do with sexuality! People who find this over the top or offensive lead exceptionally sheltered lives and I pity them greatly.

*The Tango ad that was aired after the company was forced to change from the 'cheek slapping' Tango man to one that kissed the bloke when he took a sip of Tango.

Absolutely no justification for your comments.

everyone has their own view,,,i couldent care less what your gender is,,, I just find it not amusing....same as i find the burnley chap flogging double glazing not amusing

Is "the Burnley chap" gay..Granny what advert is that? I don't think it matters, if he's selling double glazing then he's already got issues in his life.

I thought just the same as Willow too.
Just watched the ad again and do not find anything to be offended about it.
Maybe I have more in life to think about. lol

[Gayle]

I saw it the same as you Willow - the New York deli man actually is Mum.

But the first time I saw it on TV I thought, 'I bet someone complains about that one'. If they've had 200 complaints about it, I wonder what would happen if they had more than 200 complaints about the complaints?

That was my interpretation of it too!
it must have something to do with mindset. Ours, that is Willow.

[Margaret Pilkington]

And Gayle, Janet and Mummiboo too.
