Curiously it wasn't shown at peak kids viewing time because the mayo isn't a healthy food. Go figure...?
Kissing is the least offensive thing gay guys do with mayonnaise.
HEY.........is that really mayo on my sandwich or are you just glad to see me........................sarc/off
Wait a minute...I saw a Kraft commercal the other day that was singing the praises of real Mayo because “it’s got nothing artificial!” That’s right, mayo is now a health food, fat and all, because it’s “all natural!!!”
No, it hasn’t run in America that I’m aware, but apparently there were enough people who viewed the commercial over the ‘net who thought it was a completely realistic slice of homosexual life being flaunted at them and demanded justice for their seared retinas.
Curiously, the thing I find most offensive is that it is actually illegal to advertise mayonnaise during the day. Is there anything left that isn’t specifically addressed with a law? Anything at all?
Solution?
Buy Duke’s Mayo.
Well I may never eat mayo again.
It’s probably run on HGTV. Every other “couple” is gay on that network.
I wonder what's "unhealthy" about egg yolks, lemon juice and vegetable oil...
So that was just mayo on the guys’ lips?
Once marriage is legal everywhere, there will be no problems with this.
I’m so shocked./s
Interesting rules over there:
[FSA Board responds to Ofcom consultation
Tuesday 13 June 2006
The FSA Board today agreed its response to the Ofcom consultation on options for tightening the controls on the TV advertising of food to children.
Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, is consulting on options for new restrictions.
The Board expressed disappointment at the options put forward in the Ofcom consultation and agreed that none of the options provided a sufficient response to the problem of the imbalance in television advertising.
‘With a quarter of all 11 to 15 year olds now facing obesity, we have to be sure that any restrictions on advertising are aimed at children of all ages to have a real effect’
The Board agreed that any restrictions must protect children up to 15 years of age, particularly as children between 9 and 15 years often make their own food choices and purchases. The consultation’s current options only focus on protecting children up to the age of nine.
The Board supported a pre-9pm watershed on advertisements for products high in fat, salt or sugar. This would offer a practical means of extending protection to older children and would be consistent with other broadcasting controls.
The Board did not support any options that would restrict advertising of all foods, including foods such as fruit and vegetables, which would conflict with the promotion of healthy eating.
Currently, only one of the consultation’s options uses the Agency’s Nutrient Profiling model to ensure that restrictions only apply to foods that are high in fat, salt or sugar. Underpinning the restrictions with the Nutrient Profiling model would provide an incentive for industry to reformulate their products to reduce fat, salt and sugar.
Furthermore, if industry or any other party proposes a workable and effective ‘fourth option’, the Board requested that any viable approach be subject to consultation with other interested parties.
Deirdre Hutton, Chair of the Food Standards Agency, said: ‘Children are targeted every day with messages that promote foods that are high in fat, salt or sugar, and the Hastings Review clearly showed that this does have an influence on children’s food choices.
‘With a quarter of all 11 to 15 year olds now facing obesity, we have to be sure that any restrictions on advertising are aimed at children of all ages to have a real effect in helping to reverse this trend. This includes making sure that we do not inadvertently restrict the positive promotion of healthy foods.’]
This ad was Laugh In funny. Unfortunately, this is not 1968 but 2008, and everybody is hyper about gays. There wasn’t anything “gay” about this ad. By using their product, an otherwise-female mom is turned into a genuine deli cook as one would find in New York. I saw it for what it was and thought it genuinely funny.
Stopped buying HEINZ products when John F. Kerry, who served in Viet Nam, was trying to steal the Presidental election.
Wrong name. It should have been called San Francisco Deli Mayo. Then the ad would have been appropriate...in Assachusetts and Californication.
Saw the ad on YouTube, had Robert DeNiro in it. Pretty funny.
The point was that when you make a sandwich with that mayo it’s like having a NY deli man behind the counter fixing it. The folks in the household leaving for school/work are addressing the sandwich maker as “mom”. The implication is that it is the wife/mother really behind the counter though the viewers see quintessential New Yorker DeNiro.
Kids & hubby say bye and run out. “Wife” asks hubby for goodbye kiss. Husband kisses him good bye and DeNiro says “come right home, see you later sweetcheeks.” Pretty clever.
Could see why some folks are offended, but definitely did not seem like a pro homosexual ad, and not featuring a gay household. Some people just don’t get the joke.
