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.
I was talking to some woman the other day about The Green Mile. She said she was moved by the scene where the guy is executed without wetting the sponge and she thought it was very powerful. I on the other hand, laughed. It was funny. It wasn't real. It was amusing. Of course, it's the age difference. Me laughing according to her, is "terrible". According to my brother, it's funny.
LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!
