Marmite ad to show same-sex kiss

A TV advert for Marmite is to feature the first ever same-sex kiss shown in a commercial.

The risque campaign shows a lifeguard being forced to smooch a man he has just given the kiss of life to.

Viewers will see the lifesaver munching on a Marmite sandwich when he spots a drowning man in the water.

As he gives the kiss of life, the man pulls the lifeguard's head towards him and begins to kiss him back.

But the makers of the spread say they are not deliberately trying to court controversy.

A Marmite spokeswoman said: "When people look at the advert they will realise there is nothing which could cause offence."

I saw this advert earlier today, and all I could do was laugh. Given the nature of their ad campaign, is there really anything controversial about it? I don't think so.

2 men kissing = not controversial and no whining at all.
2 women kissing = national headlines with the combat boot, moustache wearing feminist brigade camping outside the marmite factory forcing them to stop airing this *sexist, demoralizing neanderthal advert*

the only reason the feminists complain about this stuff is because it usually involves good looking women something which they'll never be so they have to force other people not to look at them too. They seem to forget the fact that their stopping their female companions from working and having the free will to do what they want something which the feminists themselves campaigned for. Of course they are just a bunch of hypocrites they want equal right but just a tad bit more equal than us men. I don't see them crying over the unfair divorce system, teaching system or law system but of course they have the upper hand in them so why bother eh?

Oh but i better stop moaning otherwise i'll be a *sexist pig* and i don't want to be one of them by airing my views heaven forbid :|

Just saw the ad for the first time...

Nic's reaction: Heh heh heh
Nic's parents reaction: Urgh, is that what they have resorted to now?

I think it's cos they're old or something.

Strange, after seeing the advert I had the sudden urge to eat a Marmite sandwich, then rush out and buy shares in Marmite.
