I thought the advert was quite amusing. I don't see what all the fuss is about and wouldn't even if a romantic kiss was involved. I'm sorry, but I can't see a problem in two people kissing, whatever the genders involved.

yeah i watch bbc everyday and i dont know what the issue is .......this is so not an issue for uk television .........its gay gay gay over here .......and the major issue arouse due to a bunch of bigots in the united states who had never even seen the commercial .....and i love the uk because there main concern was that children are not exposed fast food adzzzzzzz

now watching the commercial these bigots should explain why mom is not mom but a chef for a family of four .......cause even though its a man playing the character it is suppose to be a woman {mom} who is no longer a woman but a short order chef.........YEAH MAYBE THOSE BIGOTS NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS ...........
