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.
Hope you don’t mind me repeating a reply above...
O.K. we see it from different angles...but I really don’t want to see men kissing. If they do so in TV programs or films I can choose not to watch them but when it is ‘in your face’ (as it were) unannounced at advert time....well where’s this gonna go in the interest of fun?
Liberals always push the boundaries - oft times beginning with stuff that they can say “hey, wottcha got your knickers in a twist about, it’s only fun!”
I don’t see a joke. I see an agenda. Homosexuals are trying to desensitize people to the revulsion of seeing two men kiss. It is part of their desire to make that mainstream, and they are going to succeed. This is the way they will succeed. 10 years from now, people will say “its just two guys kissing, big deal” and the homosexuals will have won yet another round of the culture war.
It is not as if the only way to make the point in the commercial was to SHOW US two guys EXPLICITLY kissing. They could have waved goodbye and had the “cook” walk in front of a mirror with the reflection of Mom in it as he passed in front, showing the real mother.
They didn’t HAVE TO have two guys kissing. They WANTED TO have two guys kissing. And the sooner they can get mainstream acceptance for that, the happier they will be. They are going to win. They are going to get acceptance from the majority of people that it is “OK” for two guys to kiss in public. And this is just the first phase of how they are going to achieve that.
Only maybe some day it will be your son or grandson who is kissing other boys in public, since it will be “OK or even “cool” when the homosexuals get done making it mainstream.
