As proved by the whole "Heinz Beanz" advert thing (for those who don't know, two gay guys kissed in the advert, about 10 people complained, it was axed, and THOUSANDS complained that it had been axed) I'm fairly sure the UK is ready for something like this.
Over 200 people in Britland complained that this ad was "offensive".
It's ridiculous. People are just scared they might actually find John Barrowman's bum attractive.
People in Britain are soooooooo scared of being seen as offensive its actually kind of funny. 200 people is nothing, this advert is awesome, the BBC are idiots, only old people still watch BBC channels... which is proberly why this was seen as offensive.
Only old people watch BBC channels? Bwuh?
Look, people watch the BBC for many reasons, maybe for it's news, which at least tries to be impartial and unbiased. I would confidently call it the best news channel in the world, but that's just my opinion.
They also watch it for excellent TV shows, such as Doctor Who (which is watched by millions for goodness sake) and Top Gear (which is hardly catered towards old people).
And what about CBBC and Cbeebies? Both sections of the BBC aimed squarely at kids. Your comment is very odd.
I don't see how British people are scared of being seen as offensive. Never heard of that before.
And the Torchwood episode was censored because it was being run too early to have sex scenes in it, not because the sex scenes were of a homosexual nature.
