This is the ad that Heinz had to remove for the gay kiss??!?

What is this world coming to? could people really not see the joke?

YouTube - BANNED HEINZ GAY KISS ADVERT
[youtubevid]kAKYpUo18wU[/youtubevid]

 

[haarewin]

this'll get them more attention+sales than if the ad had been 'allowed'.
if i was sold that as a gay kiss in a film, i'd be demanding my money back!

 

[Laddey]

I seen this the other day on tele, so it's only been banned recently!

 

[Iceforge]

Sorry, but aren't those people administrating those ban's on Ads on TV, also the same people who are sentencing people harshly for discrimination?

I'd say such an ad being banned is wrong and actually feel kinda sickened by the idea of some people being so close minded fucktards as to ban something that innocent.

 

[Sparx]

i think they missed the point that the mayo makes even you mum like a new york deli expert (if thats teh right wording) Its not about a man and a man kissing

Fools

 

[dub]

heinz withdrew the add , noone has banned it.

 

[tris-]

why was it banned?

i thought it was pretty funny when i seen it.

 

[Sparx]

heinz withdrew the add , noone has banned it.

They had to remove it due to alot of complaints, it wasnt full out banned but removed due to pressure

daily mail -

"Nigel Dickie, of Heinz UK, said: 'It is our policy to listen to consumers. We recognise that some consumers raised concerns over the content of the ad and this prompted our decision to withdraw it.

'The advertisement, part of a short-run campaign, was intended to be humorous and we apologise to anyone who felt offended.'

The advertising watchdog has yet to confirm if it will investigate the Heinz commercial, one of the most complained about commercials this year.

Viewers said it was 'offensive', 'inappropriate' and 'unsuitable to be seen by children', while some parents were angry that they had been forced to explain same-sex relationships to their youngsters who asked them about the ad. "

these people need to shut the fuck up and sort them selves out, stupid twats.

i know weve got some :kissit: boys here - where you offended by it?

its pretty obvious what the add is trying to do. show that this range of deli shit will make mother into a NY deli chef. thats all i thought when i seen it, and i lold when they kissed because i didnt expect it and it was so natural

"you forgettin somethin?"

comedy gold.

Its funny that the people who complained will be the same people who will then later moan the Political Correctness has gone way over the top

Like i've said many a times; people only b*tch if it effects them, otherwise it's "ok and should be done".

 

[Binky the Bomb]

That allow Capt. Jack in Torchwood to kiss other men, but they are banning THAT!

Thats stupid, the whole point of Jack is he loves everything. Remember when his mate came into it (Spike from Buffy/Angel) he even found animals attractive

 

[megadave]

I fucking hate people, why would someone actually go out of the way to complain about something so innocent?

OH NO WE HAVE TO EDUCATE OUR CHILD!

 

[haarewin]

i know weve got some :kissit: boys here - where you offended by it?

no. couldn't give 2 shits. if anything it was far too tame for me

well a ban implies a decree from a body with legislative powers , hence heinz can not ban anything , not full out or nearly full out or any other kind of ban.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm...

Why didn't i think of the obvious joke before?

I'm ashamed...

2 guys and a bottle of ketchup?

 

[CorNokZ]

Give even more man on man action in tv!

 

[Chronictank]

It wasnt banned heinz pulled it because of complaints
i see nothing wrong with that whatsoever, it is the SAME as EVERY other advert so i dont see what you are complaining about

regardless of your opinon of the people who complained, there has been nothing untoward done at all

What you waffling about? Heinz wouldnt ban it anyway, its not for them to ban their own ad, i said they removed it due to complaints. If it was to be banned it would be ofcom or another body doing the banning, not the company who made the ad

its wrong because people are complaining over nothing, in other words theyre a bunch of twatty idiots.

offensive? whats offensive about it?

and the one about having to explain to kids about gay relationships is rofl tastic.

it's not wrong because enough complaints warranted it
What would you have them do? run it because they dont agree with the complaints? enforce their personal beliefs on other people instead?

They did exactly the right thing

 

[tris-]

im not against what heinz did, im against the morons complaining for no reason except theyve got nothing better to do.

what beliefs are you talking about? it wasnt an advert for a new ketchup religion.

 

[Sparx]

There's a new ketchup religion? sign me up!

 

[tris-]

id hate to enforce my beliefs on you sparx. you know, since you dont have a choice to close the browser.

like the people watching tv have no choice at all to change channel or even switch it off and catch a few rays in the garden.

Surely two guys and a bottle of mayonaise would be more fitting?

 

[haarewin]

stonewall are making a call to gays to boycott heinz.
ffs. how am i gonna survive without their ketchup? everything else is shit.

 

[Golena]

Nice to know some people have the time to actually write in complaints about such stuff.

Could we find them and request that they get off the dole and go do something constructive with their lives instead maybe?

assuming they are on the dole, how long does it take to write an e-mail

Heinz - Financial Information

Click the "click here" link in the text "You may also click here to email consumer affairs", fill in information, select subject "Events/Programs/Promotions" and tell if you was as offended as I by them pulling this ad back.

I am bored, it is the middle of the night, got ot stay awake due to working nightshift usually, if you got 5 minuts I severely hope other people follow up.
If those close-minded fuckers can make them pull a commercial back, hopefully complains about it being pulled back can influence it in the other way.

Also, if you got more than just 2-3 minuts to kill, post this same request on some other board you frequent. I think it is extremely sad when close-minded people get to decide that something can't be aired. Seriously, how many decades has past since the first girl on girl action in commercials aired without being banned or pull back? But two MEN kissing, oh my god, it is the work of satan, ain't it?... sad sad that people thinking like that got the power
