Description:

Heinz pulled an ad because it showed two men kissing.  The ad was selling NY deli-style Mayo so Mom was replaced with a guy from a NY deli.  The kids still called him mom.  Dad kissed him before he left for work.  I thought it was clever.

200 complaints were received that said it was offensive and inappropriate.

Heinz pulled the ad.  Give me a break.  You decide...

I am straight. but this ad does not offend me. I agree that homosexuality is great. and that gays and lesbians should actually have a chance in society today. they may look at us and see us with men if we're women and with women if we're men. some might think that's gross, others may just think we have different prefferences. Some of us(straights) look at gays and lesbians and think it's gross. I don't. I look at it and say, ok, this is their life...let them live it any **** way they please.

PERSONALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY WITTY AD....I AM A STRAIGHT MARRIED MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE HUB BUB AS HOMOSEXUALITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN "AROUND" JUST AS HETEROSEXUALITY HAS... BESIDES I HARDLY THINK HEINZ WAS MAKING A STAND..JUST TRYING TO BE CUTE AND SELL SOME KETCHUP...LOL
