siftbotMoving this video to youdiejoe's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
OctopussyAlready on its way to become one of the most complained-about ads of the year:

Sbouldn't it be added to gay channel?
youdiejoeI will add it to the *gay channel, I'm still flummoxed by the hoopla over the ad.
OctopussyYeah, I thought it was cute, but there still seem to be some people out there who think it's offensive, not suitable for kids (a little peck?!?) &c; making me feel that I'm a bad person if I don't start an orphanage for gay kids tomorrow. It does complicate matters for us continental Europeans, though: should I switch to, completely un-edible American sauces because I like their ads and abstain from the real mayo until the French and Belgians become more progressive ;-)?
OctopussyUK advertising watchdog rules: nothing to be seen here, please move on.

It still carries an "ex-kids" restriction (not be shown in or around children's programming), though, because of the restrictions relating to junk food products!
The cowards at Heinz, however, decided not to put the commercial back on air. So I'm switching back to Belgian mayo.
youdiejoeI wish to *beg some more
