Bill O'Reilly Doesn't Want Gender-Blending on His Sandwich
Since Bill O'Reilly's drawn to just about anything gay, particularly if it contains a kiss, the UK's new Heinz Deli Mayo ad I posted on Monday of course didn't escape his notice. O'Reilly's guests didn't buy Bill's bellowing that it was gay, gay, gay, and just seeing a New York Deli guy in the kitchen. But that fine line it rides is, of course, the genius of the ad.
I've clipped the O'Reilly segment, AFTER THE JUMP...

Inasmuch as California hasn't sunk into the ocean since allowing same-sex marriage this week, O'Reilly's out to sink the UK? Over a mayonnaise ad? Use a condiment, fer Chrissakes.

He doesn't want to see two guys kissing. He wants to have mayonnaise "without all this." But no, of course he's not homophobic, noooo! He doesn't have anything against gay people at all.

Doesn't he live in the US? Why should he care?

Nice try, Bill. Pretty bad when you can't even get your own cronies to go along with your theory. He wouldn't be crying if it were two women, of course.

If it was a male-female couple in the commercial, it would have been just like hundreds upon hundreds of commercials aired in the US like no problem. I don't sit and bitch about "can't I have my cereal without straight people showing affection?" or some bullsh*t. We are people and we're not invisible, nor do we need to make ourselves to please bigots like you Mr. O'Reilly.

Tough luck O'Reilly, you schmuck! Better get used to it or crawl back under the rock from whence you came. Were here to stay pal...

All three of the panelists come across as bigots to me. When O'Reilly starts shouting that "This is a gay commercial!" the correct answer is "So what if it is?"

Yoohoo, Mr O'Reilly...... No one here in the UK knows who the fuck you are or gives a shit about your opinions.

Thank God, for our sake, that Bill O is never going to shut the hell up. He does more for our cause, I swear.

of course you all have to realize what this means? just as "La Barbera" cruises the haunts in Chicago's Boytown for "research", Billo reads the gay blogs.
ick. i'm never using a loufa again...

I recently read that one of the hallmarks of neoconservatives is their complete inability to see the humor in most situations that other people find funny. I always thought they were just stupid -- now I find out they're stupid and their emotional intelligence quotient is waaaay below average, too. Poor Bill. Poor dumb Bill.
