Beanz Meanz Heinz Meannezz
Why not use Write to Them to ask your MPs to support Diane Abbott's EDM to call upon Heinz to reverse their decision?
Actually getting more irritated now on finding this Heinz press release which says
Heinz has confirmed that it withdrew a UK TV commercial for Deli Mayo last week because it was not in accordance with Heinz’s long-standing corporate policy of respecting everyone’s rights and values.
"Heinz pulled the ad in the UK because our consumer research showed that it failed in its attempt to be humorous and offended people on all sides," said Michael Mullen, Director of Global Corporate Affairs for Heinz.
"Heinz apologizes for its misplaced attempt at humor and we accept that this ad was not in accordance with our long-standing corporate policy of respecting everyone’s rights and values," Mullen said.
Where was the offence it caused LGBT people? How is it respecting LGBT people's values to pull the ad because of a minority of people who can't understand what they see on screen? Heinzs clumsy attempt to pull back from this is annoying me more than their original cave.
