No big Deal at all!
funny ad! what's the fuss?
Well, it's a tad bit bizarre -- why does the guy look like a New York butcher? Typically British humour, I guess. Other than taking slight exception to the guy being called 'mum' -- what's the big deal?
Great ad. Oh my people, just get OVER it already. Learn to love everyone and life would be so much nicer for all.
Other than the attempt to over do it on the way the 'Yank' spoke, I don't find anything wrong with it. It is a hard attempt on behalf of the company to over draumatize the gay lifestyle for (maybe) shock value. Seriously....even 'straight' partners do not call each other 'sweet cheeks'.
Sick, Sick Sick. Especially bringing innocent children into the perversion.
Unbelievable! Two people who share a home, children and their life can’t be represented on TV by your product? Why not? In essence, they caved into a couple hundred closed minded morons, which I don’t think is great customer service. Not to mention they've deprived millions of people from seeing another side of life, a side that is as normal as any other side of life to millions and millions of gay folks. Gay folks who buy products.
Shame on Heinz!

OMG! That was so benign! People need to relax. Sheesh, no big deal.
What a great ad! It feels good to be included in something as ordinary as a family mayo ad!
Was this ad even supposed to be showing a gay couple? I took it as the guy making the sandwiches was actually the 'mom', but she made sandwiches like a New York deli (due to the awesome mayo)...so they show her as a NY deli guy and it all just adds up to a hilarious commercial. Even if it really was a gay couple, I would find the ad to be less genius, but still pretty funny.
Man, I thought people in Europe were supposed to be LESS uptight. What a bunch of whiners.
That was hot!
This ad. would most certainly put me off buying any Heinz product and not just the one advertised. Well done Heinz for prompt action.
Cute and funny. A non-issue in my opinion.
What's wrong with this? No, it's what's NOT right with this. What's to be next....NAMBLA ads for cheez whiz? Pedophiles for smuckers jam?
Hom-s should keep it in the closet where it belongs.
This is the last time I ever buy any hellman's products. Yechh!!!!
What's all the fuss about. It's fun.
Oops! Correction...I meant to say heintz products.
Not ready for this yet
No Big deal! It's funny!
there's no issue with this ad. yea, it's a bit cliché, but, other than that, I have no problem with this ad. Why can't a man be called mom? It's what happens in gay households. Would it have been better if it was a woman being called dad?
Harv is right - Sick, Sick, Sick
