Gayonnaise?

A mayonnaise ad depicting a gay New York short-order cook has not brought out the best in its audience.

The commercial for Heinz UK’s New York Deli Mayo shows an apron-clad man in a kitchen making sandwiches for his kids before sending off his significant other with a kiss and urging him to come “straight home from work, sweet cheeks,” the Times of London reported on Tuesday.


We'll call this the well, duh! moment of the day. Gays are only just starting to get married in this country, and you expect middle America to accept an ad like this? It'll take 100 years for homosexuality to find acceptance in the more rustic parts of the nation (if ever).

You'll notice it's Heinz brand, I hope.
