  • i dunno how much time I watched this :))

  • I think people are goofy...DEAL WITH IT...

  • USA is envious cause they can´t do ads like this

    they messed up with Skins cause they don´t like teens showing skin

  • WTf.... i must apologise.... someone was using my account....

  • Isn't the point that these condiments make anyone into a genuine NY deli man, even the (female) "Mum" in this ad?

  • mum? thanks mum.

    straight home from work, sweet-cheeks! (and notice he said "straight")

  • I think youve got it exactly right! =]

  • this sets the fundamental perception that gay house hold can be completely natural, normal and loving as heterosexual household

  • Who got offended over this - the Christians or the fags? And why?

  • We fags loved it!

    It's technically not a "gay" commercial though, more of a take-you-out-of-reality ad, sorta like a commercial with a talking ball of dough. Except instead of a screaming hot dog, this one says "Heinz mayo turns your mom into a NY deli man."

    "HEY! Ain'tchu forgett'n sumthin'?":)

  • I LOVE this commercial and I do not know what the hell the dumb ass Bill O'Reilly's of the world have a problem with this.  There was nothing controversial here. Grey's Anatomy had something similar! People need to grow the hell up here..

  • isn't he a newyorker?

  • this spot is definitely not offensive and so sweet.

  • I am personally offended by having any bloody commercial on my TV at all if it's not awesome or funny enough to demand my attention even more than the show it's interrupting. So almost EVERY commercial should be pulled! (...but not this one, go deli man!)

  • great!!! NYC style mother :)

  • Y les dijo: Estan en el paraiso y les doy libre albedrio.

  • no bible shit asshole !

  • I love this ad so much

  • LOL... AINT YOU FOGETTN SUMTHN?

  • I think it's a great commercial! I can't see why it was pulled. People need to get a grip.

  • why do I get the impression a lot of people don't get this. Its not a gay kiss, its meant to say that heinz deli spread is so good its like havingyour own new york deli man for a mum :)

  • because a lot of them don't. They see two guys kissing in a family setting, and jump to the wrong conclusion. They're not looking at the fact that the accents don't match, and the "mum" is dressed like a Deli counter man.

  • What is a NYC Deli man? I'm going to NY next month and I wanna know...

    Thanks!

  • Holy crap, love!

  • People are so ignorant. God! Immediately people judge the fudging commercial.

  • i see nothing "offensive" about this add. Or for that matter being gay . We are ALL unique why can we not accept eachother ??!

  • stonewall are doing a petition they have over 9,000 signatures to reinstate the advert, yet only 202 people complained.... its not even meant to be taken seriously, no ones seeing the joke of the advert! their not a gay couple or anything its a twist that the mother has turned into a deli guy cos of the sauce.... people need to stop freaking out, people say they dont want to have to explain to their children...what does it go against ur hate teaching to them??

  • so less complaints get heinz to remove such an ad? very strange. it seems that alot of religious people really like to stick their nose in everyones lives. fucking maniacs.

  • Well you could always change the channel when this ad comes on?

  • You know, I recall seeing a British phone carrier commercial which featured a man's naked bum, yet somehow this commercial crosses the line? Go figure.

  • Stupid freaking religious lunatics. Calm the hell down, and stop making everyone's lives hell. Why don't you fucking pray more and preach less?

  • i love this commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • haha i loved it...great work "are you forgetting something?....straight home from work sweet cheeks"...classic

    :] :]

  • only 200 people complained! WHY WAS THIS PULLED?

  • there were 200 complaints about this ad, not 70,000!

  • There were only 200 complaints to remove the ad

    most from lunatic religious Yanks with nothing better to do than get involved in everyone elses business

  • really? Damn...and I thought we Americans had the market on religious loons who need to get involved in everyone's business. Unfortunate that the commercial got pulled--thank God for the internet! I <3 this commercial ;)

  • But this is a British ad that would have only got shown in the UK right? So, how again did the yanks get it pulled? It got banned because of complaints from people in your own backyard, dude.

  • How does saying "we feel..." somehow assume those of us who are pro-gay are in fact gay?

    I am straight. I like men (I'm a woman, by the way so you have no question.). However, I have gay and bisexual friends.

    I would hope I can generalize in saying we meaning pro-gay thinkers without people assuming somehow I am gay. I write for a living, and that has always been my understanding.

  • amazing

  • So sweet :) i love it :)

  • This whole fiasco is completely ridiculous, if the two males starting make out right there on the counter then fair enough, but the same would be if it was a male and a female, but this is a small peck, in a funny moment. Anyone that takes offensive to this is retarded and needs to stop living in the past. Being gay is as normal as anything, studies show that animals have gay relationships, just as much as humans! Get with the program ffs!

    Chris,

    English and straight!

  • To the zealots of the American Family Association, any public show of homosexuality - except as a degrading disease - is 'offensive' and to be suppressed out of existence.

    Tactic: threaten a massive US-wide boycott of Heinz products

    Result: Heinz backs down and publicly states it is bowing to pressure from 200 UK complaints.

    Bigger picture: no US company will run such an ad again.

  • Bullshit

  • Most of the complaints about the advert came from the American Family Association.

    Why were an American organisation so fucking concerned about an advert that was never shown on American television but was shown in a foreign country?

  • Luckie777s what homosexual agenda, freedom from persecution. As for the UK Parliament it falls in to line with the European Union and therefore you're calling half a billion Europeans degenerate. No Sir, we are in the main, enlightened, democratic and free thinking. You don't have to like what they do but you have to defend their right to do it? It's not a religion you can't be converted to homosexuality. The real and only test is in your sexual fantasies driven by brain chemistry.

  • Heinz should have made an advert with people killing each other for the mayo. Then it would not be banned. TV violence is more accepted than a gay kiss.

  • Isoptrucks the ad is not banned it was just withdrawn by Heinz and it may be reinstated. No UK laws or rules have been broken. In fact under UK law homosexuality is lawful and partnerships (not marriages) are legally binding and Gay couples have full equal rights. This means the Gay community have more right to be offended by the withdrawal of the advert than the straight community as it is showing unacceptable prejudice against a minority group. This is not permissible in our society!

  • COME ON!!! Brokebutt Mountain won all kinds of awards including one for best kiss and it even had them in a tent **OOOOPS**ing! This clearly shouldn't even be in the middle of a gay or not fight. The "mum" is replaced with a Bronx deli dude. Because they are trying to say in a weird way that mom can be like the corner deli guy by using their product. It isn't our fault your dad left your mom to be with your moms brother and its not your fault let it go. hahahahaha I am sorry I had to!

  • The ad has not been banned it was removed by Heinz following some complaints. It has not broken any laws in the UK and members of the UK Parliament are trying to have the ad reinstated.

  • Oh yeh so they ban this yet they didnt ban the D&G Time advert with the gay kissing at the end just cos they were kissing a hologram of themselves yet this is kinda jokey n gets banned pffft this doesnt offend me one bit, in fact a lot of people dont find this offensive at all.

  • yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk­kkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssssss

  • I'm from Brazil, a country which has become more and more progressive, tolerant with regard to homosexuality. I does surprise me such a stupid and negative attitude in a country such as England. I do hope you guys do something about it.

  • WTF!!!

    y did they withdraw this

    Its hardly offending

    I'm straight and i'm not offended by this at all

    its probaly complete and utter homophobes that complained, their a tiny proportion of the population

  • Don't know about you guys, but i'm buying their products first thing in the morning. I'm going to show Heinz some support for withdrawing this ad.

  • DON'T BUY HEINZ PRODUCTS

    THEY LISTENED TO THE HOMOPHOBES AND BANNED THE TV ADVERT

    go to the shops and take all the lids and tops off of all the heinz jars and packs you can find

  • I am sure those 200 people in UK who complaines.. was Americans..:) who moved to UK:) or people who lived in US for too long and got brainwashed/damaged by pritchers that God hates Gays.. ( thogh he created us all suppose.. and even woman before had no soul according you:)) but blessing Bombs to be droped on people in other countres. Guys you suck!

  • I don't find this offensive at all. I think it's funny and I think that's what it's meant to be. Lighten up folks.

  • Geez, homophobes are morons. Way to miss the point of the ad. The implication is that Heinz mayonnaise is so delicious that it transforms ho-hum school lunches into sandwiches worthy of a New York delicatessen. But good looking out, guys. I mean, men kissing is an abomination in the eyes of God, right? Seriously, folks, SOMEONE'S gotta have God's back. He can't be everywhere at once!

  • I find it contradictory that we can watch half naked women on screen acting like complete sl-uts, but the thought of two men showing loving affection (who obviously have a great life) has to be pulled off TV.

  • OEHH I LIKE ITTT

  • growl

  • I think the ad is cute. Honestly, if people are offended by two guys kissing they need to get over themselves. I'm gay and I'm not offended by a guy and a gal kissing. Can't we just live and let live, folks. We all have to share the planet.

  • Why don't you go ask the drunk slut you butt fucked last week?

  • it's cute and the man in the hat woof ... i'd kiss him .... lol

  • whether they intended to or not, they are getting millions of $ in free media globally from the controversy, on prime time rotations as well. and they're getting their name discussed for 5 minutes vs. a basic 30 second spot.

  • On one hand I think this is really cute, but on the other hand, the way the commercial is structured does make it seem like there is a slight joke that they're gay. If the husband came out first instead of the kids, I'd feel less torn about it. But the idea of it being a nice gay couple is kinda nice too, a rare thing to see on tv.

  • Gay brains are hard-wired at birth

    18 June 2008

    From New Scientist Print Edition

    key structures of the brain governing emotion, mood, anxiety and aggression resemble those in straight people of the opposite sex. "The connectivity differences reported in the amygdala are striking.

    "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0801566105).

    If this isn't clear enough for you it means that the Homophobics are the sick ones.

    (Having said that I couldn't watch Brokeback Mt)

  • Cute!

  • lol, I think it's a great comercial, haha. The Dolce Gabbana jewlry ad is sooo much more sexual and gay. haha

  • The premise of the ad is that gay relationships are ridiculous. There is nothing progressive about this ad, aside from the further descent of television into shock schlock.

  • @jackiphx

    Why did you saw it, when you don't like it?!

    Back to topic:

    Thats my future xD

  • according to a Heinz policy not to offend anyone if that's their case every commercial has something that offends someone ie..having too many females/males white/black.... life is about choices and the choice to change the channel is one of them so just to let you know at this end me and my family were not offended we actually thought it was quite humorous too bad I cannot find Heinz mayo in Manalapan NJ Shame on your company for being bullied

  • Seeing two girls is not good either. I mean how can two men or two women have kids, I mean hahahahh. They seem to forget if humanity was meant to pick whatever they choose then they would have both sexual parts, right? I guess their creater is a sexist, or as they say, a bigot right!!??

  • I find it very funny that all the people that are against this ad get their comments deleted. So much for tolerance!!

  • There's nothing homosexual OR offensive about this ad. I guess not many people have a sense of humor anymore.

  • This ad is NOT offensive! I've seen worse straight ads! What about ads for K-Y, or perfumes? What if I find those offensive? If I do, I deal with it, I just ignore it. I don't send in letters, for god's sake! And this is banned, just for a gay kiss...things like this shouldn't even be an issue any more. And if a parent does have to talk to their child about homosexuals because of this ad, well, the earlier the better. It is a fact of our world, some people are gay, get over it!

  • Beautifull

  • They were outraged about this?

  • I can't see the problem with this commercial.

  • (Holy Bible, Old Testament)Leviticus 18:22 says:

    ''You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is abomination.''

    Now If I remember correctly your Holy Book also states that you WILL also go to Hell for eating shellfish, getting a tattoo and wearing mixed fabric clothing.

    I just hope Hell has enough room for the Billions of tattooed, oyster loving polyester wearing people of this world.

    How could you in the 21st century allow yourself to have your life dictated by a 2000 year old book?

  • A 2000 year old book that has no backing

  • haha, yeah right. unless you're holding one with no binding on the side, then yeah.

  • I meant historical value -.-

  • I think this ad is great and it shouldn't have been banned. It's a pretty mild presentation of eroticism between men -- not that I believe in 'mainstreaming' homo-eroticism to fit people's comfort zones. I think it's quite shocking how virulent some people's responses to it have been.

  • thatfunny forme!But i'mnotsure Maggies or Bernadettes won't be chocked by "menkissing"!

    Let them pray for sinners'souls.

    i'm praying for they don't get too fat!

    my mum loves mayo and you should see her in a dressing-gown

  • A happy Family.

  • wow lmao,

    you guys are overreacting way too much.

    it's a fucking mayo commercial and theres absolutely nothing to get offended about.

  • Remember that this TV commercial was made for Heinz UK - and the company had no intentions of using it in the USA. By the end of last week, just 202 complaints had been made to the advertising 'watchdog' in the UK, the Advertising Standards Authority. For every complaint received there are so far 13 people - gay and straight - who are supportive of it. It was Heinz who pulled the ad, not the ASA. Heinz now face a consumer boycott in the UK until ad is restored ... and it has started to bite.

  • iel

  • Lmao! Why was this taken down? Muppets.

  • I'm going to Hell now? Brilliant. Can't wait. Just going to pack my bags.

  • yeah well wen ur down der crying just remember how you could have been helped.. im not mad at you and i forgive you but im sad for you.. i reall am.

  • Well, that's too damn bad. I think I'll have some great company in Hell though, so don't worry. :-)

  • well good luck to you dont expect any sympathy from me wen im having fun in heaven and ur burining in hell and thats reality! uve had ur chance

  • It's okay. I don't want some hateful, deluded little girl's sympathy anyway.

  • im not a little girl i knw tht much consdierin im mature! ur just a pathetic person im not lowering myself to ur standards

  • "down with gays!" Yes, you're an extremely tolerant and informed adult, you are.

  • when did i say that? lol. kk how bout we just leave this at u like the ad i dont. its being took off anyways.

  • "everyone has their own opinions this ad is a disgrace and its poising young children minds!! down with gays i say!"

    Bye bye now.

  • You have a sick mind just like a typical REPUBLICAN

  • Your Momma

  • "everyone has their own opinions this ad is a disgrace and its poising young children minds!! down with gays i say!" is sherilyn1991's comment, not mine, so stop giving it thumbs down.

  • i m really sick of religions who think they can come up with the one right interpretation of just one holy book.

    they all have bad karma and the cosmos will create a personaly adjusted hell for every single one of them.

    god hates evangelical reborn christians and all other fundamentalist.

  • maybe if you just started respecting us we wouldnt have this problem.

    is it out fault that we follow a religion just like gays following their way and having a say on us its only fair we comment back!

  • You can be a Christian without preaching hate.

  • i repsect what you are saying but its a video to comment on we can say what we like yeno?

  • Looking at you, free speech has a lot to answer for.

  • wot eva dont care no more! i h8 the ad but not bthred its being took off anyways!

  • And it is such a shame you will burn in Hades' Underworld for worshiping false gods. I will pray to Zeus for your soul because you too are lost.

  • Yes, but in the Bible, it also tells us that eating shellfish and animals that "don't chew the cud" is forbidden, that we should sell disobedient children into slavery, that we should kill mothers who have children out of wedlock.

    A 3000-year old book has caused more harm to society and civilisation than gays ever will.

  • Yeah deffo a troll.

  • sherilyn1991 better be a troll or I'll have lost all faith in humankind

  • No, that's not an opinion. That is hateful bile.

  • do you think i care? im a chrisitan and that advert is bad! anyhow its being took off the tv praise the lord! :)

  • You care enough to keep coming back to this video.

    Stop using your religion as a shield for your bigoted views. I know plenty of Christians who wouldn't have a problem with this ad.

  • h8 this ad gays shouldnt be allowed on tv at all!! ruining kids minds.. its not the way god intended it!!

  • Oh dear me jsam you sure do have a talent to come across as the biggest tit ever. Homophobia is just as disgusting as any other form of unreasonable intolerance. 'You cant support something just cos 10percent of the population do it'. Well that stupid argument works both ways: you can't condemn something just because it's not the norm. And advertising can be commented upon by anyone regardless of their nationality, wtf are you on about.

  • unnatural is it, jsam? and you must hate everything that's unnatural, which is why you're using the internet on your computer in your heated home with running water on tap and television? because these things occur naturally, of course.

    dickhead.

  • First thing that comes to my mind: EEYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO!!!

  • This ad is so sweet, I don't see why it's offensive :D

  • lol I thought it was funny. And it wasn't a "gay couple," the idea is that a normal sandwich from Mom will be as great as a Deli sandwich made by a crusty New Yorker in one of their awesome Delis. And the kiss makes it funny because the husband knows he is kissing his (female) wife, but all we see is the (male) deli worker. How the hell is that so difficult to get??

    Also, do not feed the trolls.

  • it's not even a gay advert! it's just comical! but as we all know, homophobes are just stupid and spend their entire lives missing the point.

    there's a petition and a facebook group people should join if they're interested, i tried posting the links but i think youtube thought i was trying to spam everyone.

  • jpppen. You write like a closet queen who has not accepted of whom they are!

    Studies have shown that extreme anti to anything, indicates the person has a phobia of the reality of who they truely are.

    Life is so easy, why make it more difficult for yourself?

  • "gay is an idea that will die out". Oh my, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

  • Banning this ad is soooo ridiculous. 1) my god you really have to be a bigot to see this as offensive. 2) in any case, the character is a woman replaced by a NY deli guy, not an actual gay couple with one of the men getting called mom!

  • Great Advert!

    I love!

  • Omg this was hilarious! Why the hell did they ban it?!

    Stupid people who cant cope with two men kissing. Would it be the same if it was two girls? I dont think so.

    Grr homophobics annoy me so much!!

  • jpppen, you are a prick. grow up sweetcheeks.

  • I dont think it matters the fact that their gay i think its cause its a really crap ad! 31 seconds of my life i,m never getting back!

  • >> "us chrisians will be laughn wen ur in hell crying!"

    Sherilyn, don't you know you can be damned for bad grammar and spelling? Check out your King James Bible. You have to write THAT well to achieve salvation.

  • wow people are sad im all for gays but when they make all this crapp about a comerchail then i think wow wtf is ur prob. like in the car comerchal where the guy got : thilly little fairy

  • wow

    people are totally missing the point of the advert if they're getting offended by this.

  • Lol, I heard they had to take this off TV in America. Homophobes XD

    I mean wow 2 guys kissing. What does it matter? It's just an advertisement for mayo.

  • The honophobic bigots are alive and well on here!

    My question; where are your minds?

    Oh! yes in your crutch...Sickos!

  • First learn to spell. Second learn other come backs besides the ones the liberals are tell you to say.

  • Jpppen. Guess what! You want to prove your masculinity( Martial arts!) why? When you can be an honest person, to yourself. I will type better! Deal?

  • This is hilarious! I love it!xx

  • lol that was just a quick peck on the lips ~*~shocking~*~

  • ROFL THIS WAS FUNNY

    WHY'D THEY TAKE IT OFF LOL

    "ARNT U FORGETIN SUMTHIN? "

    "LOVE YOU, STRAIGHT HOME FROM WORK SWEET CHEEKS"

    hah =] gay's who cares leave em be

  • Homophobes stock argument:

    "Homosexuals are wrong, they're wrong because I say they're wrong, therefore they are wrong."

    Over and over like a broken record.

  • What gay kiss? The deli man is a symbolic replacement for the family's presumably female mother, endorsing the use of mayo in kids' lunches. Be less eager to take offense.

    And *what evil? Evil is invading a country full of innocent people for the actions of its criminal government. Evil is denying poor people access to competent health care. Evil is baiting and bullying and making life generally difficult for people for their color or culture. *This, I think you'll find, is just a kiss.

  • in the bible days children were married at 12.

    in the bible days the romans were in charge.

    things havent changed at all.

    im going to go and meet the emperor and discuss the taxation of centurions.

  • Me too.

    I need to have sex with a man now.

    Not at all interested in the deli mayo.

    The ad was clearly designed to turn us all.

    Please get a life.

  • After watching this I feel compelled to go out and have sex with a man.

  • NB: The ad hasn't been banned by the regulator, it was withdrawn by Heinz itself. We should therefore boycott Heinz for pandering to the homophobic mob.

  • Whilst unfortunate that this AD couldn't just be played without such media attention, its still working for heinz by MAKING people talking about both the company, product and the gay background. Good can only come from this. That said, I think the "Mum" bit wasn't necessary.

  • cool
