Today heinz withdrew their new advert that featured two men kissing,the advertisement regulator received about 200 complaints.

among the complaint said the advert was offensive and appropriate to see two men kissing,others said it was unsuitable to be seen by children and that it raised the difficult problem of parents having to discuss the issue of same sex relationship with younger viewers.
is this a sign of political correctness gone mad or what?...whats your take!
Whats your take dunno
Bloody hell, Phuckers....ever thought of changing your name to "Boomerang?" :lol2:
Not seen it. But in the interests of research I may just go and have a look see....
In edit
Call that kissing? rolleyes Certainly didn't offend me, and I wouldn't have any problems with my kids seeing it. Mind you though, it wouldn't make me want to buy the product, either :dry:

lol the link is on the post,was thinking of changing my username actually ,huh
I saw the original airing and although I was slightly surprised I certainly wasn't shocked and definitely not offended.
200 out of how many millions of viewers? I do wish they'd get their priorities... and ratios right.
Phuckers I think its crazy that it ain't aloud. I still however find it odd to see same sex partners kissing out of a sexual context context. The last vestiges of a bygone age I hope. My kids are so more easy going and accepting of this sort of thing not even noticing it. Me I thought Oh my god 2 guys kissing on an advert! Shame they pulled it I think nothing i saw seemed bad with it.

Read a thingy at college about complaining to the media. It went on to discuss how how the word 'c*nt' was used late night on radio 1 years ago with complaints in the hundreds whilst the same word was used on womens hour in a discussion and given they both had similar numbers in listening audiences radio 4 only received 3 complaints.
I know that there was probably a vast difference in the manner in which the word was employed, But we are a fickle bunch aren't we biggrin

I was asking the OP as its customary for the OP to give their view before others post otherwise the Op's take is tainted
i.e.
tailored to suit the majority of replies......
Ok ???
When I first saw it I was shocked... Cant explain why but I was.... dunno
To be honest I am not surprised it has been withdrawn.... In fact I was only discussing it today with a customer about the fact that I was very liberal in my approach to life but this was a little too close to the edge for my liking... confused
What year is it ?? Oh yeah 2008 !! I'ts a joke that a tiny minority of 200 viewers should have that sort of power and influence. Unfortunately I only saw the advert once but thought what a well thought out and nicely shot advert it was. The actually kissin part seemed just very natural as part of the 'mini' story. Just makes me grateful that I have an open mind which is more that can be said for those 200.
