Jun. 24th, 2008 11:23 pmFirst of all, I didn't realize that British ads ever emphasized the 'foreignness' of any foods, with the possible exception of curry. Between the legendary blandness of the English palate (at least the Minnesotans have some Scandinavian dishes in their mix), and their annoyance at the US in general, I wouldn't have thought that an ad for a New-York-deli-style mayonnaise would have emphasized the New York aspect.
But secondly, and more importantly, apparently some viewers completely missed the point of the ad. Really, now. Watch the ad, and then tell me that there is any way to interpret that as anything other than a heterosexual peck within the premise of the ad. Did these people actually watch it, or did they just see a still and take it at face value?
Grr and arrgh. >:-(
