Mr. T ain't got time for this jibba-jabba!

I "pity da fool" who messes with Mr T.

That's offensive to gay people?

(I take it, all gays are speed walkers - and the only ones who speed walk?)

Did anyone ask any gays, or is this yet another case of people telling others what they should be offended by?

That commercial is FANTASTIC! WTF is wrong with people?

 

[cmoneyr]

Speed walking does look pretty gay, I mean seriously.

 

[BryceC]

The problem I have with it is that it never says he's gay. So the LGBT community is up in arms because he's shooting a guy who is speedwalking. Apparently to speedwalk you need to be gay.

 

[Cyclonesrule91]

What a joke. The last thing I worry about is if some gay person is offended by something I did. That commercial is awesome.

Boooo Human Rights Campaign, spend your time doing something better then being mad over a Snickers commercial. Also that gun looks like it would be fun to have.

 

[ahaselhu]

I don't get it. The ad didn't say anything about being gay. Is the Human Rights Campaign attempting to reinforce stereotypes about gays?

 

[CloneAggie]

Did you watch the other one that was referenced in the article? I don't have a problem with either of these two commercials. Both were pretty funny.

This seems to be the norm anymore. We are all just to stupid to know what we really think.

I second this opinion

Thank god for the internet, otherwise we all would have missed out on these gems.

One more sign that English are going down the "Fallopian" tubes... This comes on the heels of better streets for drunkards to walk. Looks like Britain needs America more than ever.

Sad thing is we aren't that far behind...

What is wrong with making streets more drunk friendly? That sounds like the best idea of the century to me!

So is a Snickers (US) a Snickers in the UK? When I went over there in the 80's, a Milky Way (UK) = Snickers (US) and a Mars Bar (UK) = Milky Way (US)... I'm not sure I saw anything labeled a Snickers.

Is awesome:
