Heinz Deli Mayo Ad Pulled In the UK After Yahoos Get Upset

The following ad was pulled in the UK after complaints. It is a tasteful ad and should have stayed on the air. Ads and sit-coms should begin showing gay couples. There should be nothing controversial about gay affection. If people have psychological issues with it, they need to get help. Gay relationships are just as normal and natural as any other and must be reflected as such in the media and advertising. The only thing offensive about the ad was that it was mayo, which is about this most disgusting slop ever created.

The American Family Association has gone ballistic with this. So, please call Heinz and let them know you are upset about them pulling the ad - 800-255-5750

It was the religious rightwing nuts of course that forced Heinz to pull it, nothing new there.

dear mr. or mrs. i’m really disappointed, why did you remove the Heinz Deli Mayo TV ad made by BBDO only because a bunch of sick homophobes pressured you to do that? you are endorsing a homophobe agenda and i won’t buy any of your products again until you repair the damage you have done. you have lost one customer, and i’m pretty sure i won’t be the only one. have a nice day xxxxxx
