This is the first time I’m seeing it. What the hell is wrong with people? It’s a funny and clever ad. Did Heinz pull it voluntarily or did the regulator intervene?

Heinz are evil y’know, I had to write a letter of complaint about the shape of their cans.

They pulled it voluntarily apparently, after 100 complaints.

4 days ago by therickoshea My RTE colleague and friend Alan McQuillan took suddenly ill and passed away on Wednesday. His name might not mean a huge amount to you unless you heard me saying “and thanks to Alan back at base” on about 80% of the outside broadcasts I did in 2FM over the years, but he meant a lot to many of us. You should know who he was. Aside from being an @rte2fm presenter himself and the guy who desk-trained every new 2FM presenter for years he was the guy who made sure everything sounded perfect for us when we were swanning

1 month ago by therickoshea We thought our friends in @eason_ireland who spend the year wrangling @sineadmoriartywriter and myself for #EasonMustReads deserved a little thank you. @thecupcakebloke is yer only man.
