WTF, 200 homophobic's call in and they have to axe the ad 
.
.
Who's up for complaining to the advertising standards agency that it was pulled?
WE only need to get 201 complaints
http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/how_to_complain/complaints_form/
EDIT: oh nvm the ASA did not order it taken down and didn't even investigate it hienz pulled it themselves :/
No turns out they didn't have to at all.
Also the word homophobic annoys me why is thier scared of gays yet you racists aren't called blackopobes technically it's discrimination against people with a medical condition to call them homophobes in a negative way if it's a phobia...

But if it was two girls you'd be wanting to see more?
I don't see anything wrong with the advert to be honest, found it quite funny myself.

I sense that scorza was being sarcastic, I could be wrong, if am am then I am very surprised by his comment.

I think we should still complain - the ASA said they'd investigate it if they get enough complaints.
To be honest we should complain to the ASA that Hienz pulled the advert and that it's discriminating against gay/lesbian rights.
Aren't racists called xenophobes?

Maybe the people that complained actually enjoyed the advert which made them uncomfortable with their own sexuality so felt that they had to complain to make themselves 100% straight.
"oh no if people see two men kissing then they will all turn gay then where will we get children from? think of the children!"

no xenophobes are called xenophobes different thing entirely.
You want to force a company to run an advert
Hienz pulled it because complaints are bad for business, yet it also gives them lots of free publicity (and as they have to give permission for the photos /clips you can bet the all have the logo/product in them in the news).
Publicity stunt nothing more.
or religious people, although yes i always imagine people who complain to be over weight women
aghhh read the whole artical or at least the last two lines, the ASA did not make them pull it or even investigate the advert.
The only restriction was that it could not be shown at children's shows because of the high fat and salt content of the product.

because it's always fat women that are the loud mouth types who for example, take things back to shops and cause the biggest of fusses because of one loose stitch. Or, you could be right.....religious nutters.
yeah but then again the only religious nutter i know is an overweight woman >.<
