From Queers United...
So apparently Heinz in the United Kingdom had to pull the commercial below because of complaints from some people who apparently didn't like the idea of gay people eating the same sandwich condiments that "good, decent, normal" people eat. The commercial was meant to be comical, but I guess some people are just too sensitive & weren't able to tolerate such "obscenity" on their TV.

If you are of a mind, you can send Heinz a note through their corporate website letting them know how you feel about their act of craven cowardice. If you do, I suggest you be respectful in your indignation, or else they'll just probably delete your email.
