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.
Heinz' new ad opens with a family on a normal morning routine with a young boy and girl getting ready for school and their father preparing for the office.
The young boy and girl go to the kitchen to get their sandwiches, which are being prepared by a man with a New York accent dressed in a deli serving outfit who they refer to as "mum".
When their father goes to get his sandwich he says to mum in the kitchen "See you tonight love".
However, mum barks back "Hey, ain't you forgetting something?", at which point the two men share a kiss. Mum then sends the father off with the words: "Love you. Straight home from work, sweet cheeks."

They paid an ad agency for this?
Is this satire? Awful, just awful.
I think this may finally convince my wife to give up on their ketchup. I seldom use any, and really don’t care what brand it is (Hunt’s, Del Monte, whatever). For me, ketchup’s ketchup.
Sounds pretty gay to me.
no....
holy $h1t.
that might be the most discusting thing I’ve ever seen.
Heinz garbage is banned in my home now. dammit.

Just watched it at the link you posted. I think it’s intended to be funny. Then again, maybe someone is trying to push an issue, too.

Perhaps a parody?
