Heinz releases a commercial. In the commercial, a stereotypical family is starting a stereotypical day. The mother is preparing lunches for the family, getting it right for each of the children. The father comes in, of course, in a rush, and takes his lunch. The wife calls out to get her kiss, just like in every 1950s sitcom ever.
The catch in this commercial is that "Mum" was actually a guy in a deli outfit, little paper hat included. And the father shares a kiss with the man. And retard parents got in an uproar over that.

I'm not defending the act of two guys kissing, I'm straight, I don't really care to see that. BUT this commercial was not a commercial about gay men. At all. There wasn't even a hint of the fucking notion anywhere in the commercial. The idea saying that Heinz deli condiment sauces were so much the fucking cat's tits that it was like your were living with a real-live deli owner.
So you take stereotypical wife, replace with deli owner with paper hat. Everything the wife would have done in that kitchen, now performed by a gruff looking man. OH ITS A JOKE!
Parents are very upset that now they have to broach a difficult subject like homosexuality. Because you're supposed to wait on that shit. Push it off until the boy's 16 and just blown a guy out back of a gay bar. Parents, you know what that gulping sound was: you failing.
(For those of the homosexual alignment, I'm not trying to state that being homosexual is wrong or bad. Rather I'm just ragging on the straight parents, whom I previously labeled as retards)
I'm going to tell you how to deal with that commercial. Verbatim.
Child: Daddy why did the man kiss the other man in the commercial?
Parent: It was a joke, son. They were just making a joke.
Child: *automatic giggle, parent say funny, child believe funny* Boys don't kiss each other! Ew!
Parent: *hides relief* That's right, son. Boys don't kiss each other.
Topic over. You've avoided talking about homosexuality until it is too late. Good on you.

Homophobe. Bigot.
