Mayo Men

Suppose they're married? Or at least civil unionized?

The two dads, I mean, including the Gene Hackman-like ("I Never Sang for My Father") one making sandwiches, who the kids refer to as mum.



The ad has been yanked in Britain because 202 people complained. Was it because of the objectification of the wife as a deli man? Was it the "sweet cheeks" endearment? Did they not think that a dad could make a lunch sandwich?

Or did they not think these two were meant for each other and so probably weren't married and might even have been living in sin together?

They seem like reasonable and caring fathers. Fortunately, their mayonnaised union will live on forever via the internet.
