Sure, a picture like this one might evoke some outrage by a few overly conservative people. But seriously, a mayonnaise commercial being pulled off the air in the UK because two men are kissing is somewhat of a joke, especially since the UK has honored “partnerships” since 2005.  I am curious how many commercials that are heterosexually racy in nature get pulled from the airwaves in the UK?Folks it’s 2008, have you seen Will and Grace, Queer as Folk, The L Word or shows like Family Guy and All-American Dad?  Gay characters and images are on your TV already, a 30-second Heinz commercial isn’t going to hurt anything except Heinz’s relationship with the gay community in the UK.

Check out the commercial here to see what the fuss is all about.
