O'Reilly declares victory as British mayonnaise ad yanked


"I told you guys," Fox News' Bill O'Reilly said to panelists Bernard Goldberg and Jane Hall over a British mayonnaise commercial, featuring a man-on-man kiss, that has been taken off the air.

O'Reilly claimed victory in his assertion that the ad was "distasteful" and offensive to "millions of people."

"Are you ready to admit I was right?" O'Reilly asked the panel.

"No," Goldberg deadpanned. "You're not attractive, Bill, when you gloat."

"I think they made a mistake," he went on, "and I think this is...part of a much bigger problem: Corporate executives and regular folks--way too many of them--are gutless wonders. At the first sign of controversy, they're looking for a desk to hide under."

An earlier segment had O'Reilly at odds with Goldberg and Hall over the societal implications, and the intentions, of Heinz UK in airing such a commercial. Goldberg called O'Reilly "nuts," and Hall concurred with Goldberg in rejecting the notion that the commercial was a "gay thing." Said Goldberg, the marketing of Heinz Deli Mayo was "a mayonnaise thing."

4. Would you really?
Would you let the maniac anywhere near you're goodies? I'm sure his mouth is full of cancerous lesions from the hate he spews.

Besides should sex ever be used for punishment....outside the occasional Falcon video.

5. Now that you mention it, no.
Too bad the editing time has elapsed. That was wrong of me to post...in every way possible.

7. What will O'Reilly's reaction be when...
an ad comes along that shows a straight couple "flaunting" their affection?
