It’s not controversial it just simply isn’t funny. The “joke” is about calling a man “mom”. You won’t laugh, you won’t find it very funny (unless you’re a five-year old who finds the word “poo” hilarious). I’m at a lost to think why it was considered unsuitable for children, they would be the only ones to laugh at it.

What’s all the fuss? This is a slice of real life. When are we going to out grow the antiquated puritan mindset from the 16th century? Get real people this is the 21st century. Why are we so much more up tight then europe.

Clearly, the connection here was that sometimes, moms are like boulangiers. plain and simple. The fact that they show the two men kissing may certainly be to push the envelope about homosexuality to test the market on whether they could actually come right out and have two men openly together in a commercial, but this was not a “gay” thing.

And Bill O’Reilly made such a big deal about this ad. Even though its being ran in England, not America.

“I don’t want to see two guys kissing!”

…..Then don’t watch English commercials.
