Hyde Wrote:The Heinz advert advertizing their new Mayo sauce has been pulled off the air after receiving HUNDREDS of complaints over a kiss between two men (A new york Deli men and the customer), the kiss wasn't intentionally meant as a 'gay kiss', but instead living up to the stereotypes of people.This ad was especially hurtful because the Heinz company of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is owned by Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Senator John Kerry, the 2004 Democrat candidate for President of the United States.
The advert has been deemed as unacceptable for children as well as disgusting.
