Heinz is set to challenge some viewer expectations with a light-hearted TV campaign that features two men sharing a kiss.

The TV commercial, which promotes a new range of dressing called Heinz Deli Mayo, breaks tonight and will be supported by a press campaign.

Go to the link to see the video, if you have the stomach for it.

This is wrong on so many levels I do not know where to begin.

Children, homosexuality, kissing etc.

Here is a start: Why a New York deli? "sweet Buns" Mayo

OK, so it is the UK, but they are only a stones or tea bag throw away from us.

Theresa Heinz could have been the first lady today, here.

There will be no more Heinz products in my house. Not a boycott, just a statement of values.

tiz a sad day but I’ll be joining you in that.

its really nothing but sugar and tomatoe paste anyway

[modest proposal]

Things like this are why I got rid of cable.

I control everything I see via DVDs. It is the best!

[smokinleroy]

I quit Heinz products for the sake of John and Tereza

There. Fixed it.

[Luke21]

It’s just ‘lighthearted.’ Oh goody, says the commie press. Boycott them, people.

[Coffee200am]

OMG!...No plastic squeeze bottles!

I could not bear to go to that site, I think nausea would set in quickly.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ours will be a Heinz-free household. Gross!

[Pylon]

Sugar and tomato in mayo? ;)

Heinz free house and proud. Won’t even use packets when out if they are Heinz.

I think I’m done to. I avoided their stuff during the 2004 election, but then I lapsed after a while.

Any suggestions for a good ketchup?

Any ideas out there for a good replacement for Heinz 57 sauce?

Right on!

Whenever I visit my folks (who have cable), I am stunned at how many irritating commercials there are in the course of only an hour. I figure about a third of one hour of television programing are for commercials. Who needs it?

[Lokibob]

Hunts katsup, I would think as a start. Got to look at wally world to see if there are any alternatives other than Hunts.

However, bigger problem, Heinz owns ore-ida potatoes. THAt is going to be a problem out here in the west.

Bought ketchup yeasterday and it wasn’t Heinz. Nevermore!!

[Paul Heinzman]

Men kissing and mayonnaise? No thanks.

[PeteB570]

That’s it, I’m sticking with “Duke’s” mayo.

[elcid1970]

When I was a kid, Del Monte ketchup made a homecooked hamburger taste like it was ordered in a restaurant (which was good).

Re this disgusting ad: I wouldn’t want to be a kid in today’s world.

[Gay State Conservative]

Well that’s fine because I’m sure that Thurston Howell IV has shared a kiss with a pretty boy or two.

[Jen from Tn.]

I really like the generic brand at WalMart

[Doohickey]

Use this. It tastes better.
