Heinz Kisses a Man But Doesn't Stay the Night

Heinz has pulled an ad from British television that shows two men kissing because 200 people wrote to them about how disturbing it was to them and their children. Here is the ad.



The ridiculous aspect of Heinz's decision is that the ad is not even about same sex relationships: basically 'mum' has turned into a deli man because of the product she is using. I assume the 200 people were a little too...um...naive...to realize this. Here's a link to the article about the removal. After I read it, I went to heinz.com, clicked Contact Us at the bottom and gave them what for. (You need only click here to write your piece to Heinz.) Sheesh. One step forward, one step back.
