    Default Heinz Ban "Gay" Ad Due to Complaints

    Heinz have banned a Heinz Deli Mayo advert because it had recieved 200 complaints due to the fact it had a "gay" kiss (it was a peck =//). It wasn't even supposed to be gay. It was the new york deli guy being the Mum.

    Viewers complained it was "inappropriate to see two men kissing", "unsuitable to be seen by children" and raised the "difficulty" of parents having to discuss same-sex relationships with kids.

    I honestly think it's pathetic. Not Heinz but the bigots that called in to complain. Kids should learn about same sex relationships. I think most school do now anyway. Hollyoaks shows more than what this advert did but don't see that taken off air or the gay storylines scrapped.

    kids who have gay dads should be proud
    like when kids at school go 'oh my dad will batter ur dad' they'll say 'listen you, my dad will **** your dad.. and he'll like it!'

    but yeah, people only really live to complain at stuff on the tv.
