The controversial commercial featuring Mr T firing Snickers bars at an innocent speedwalker.
“Speed walking? You’re a disgrace to the man race! It’s time to run like a real man!,” says Mr T as the speedwalker takes off running. “Get some nuts!” yells Mr T as he cuts his 4×4 across someone’s neatly manicured lawn.
The commercial is hilarious, but gay rights groups – who have no sense of humor – had the commercial banned worldwide because they claimed it was homophobic.
The commercial shouldn’t have been banned @ all … if this add was done by David Beckham, Justin Timberlake or some1 like that it would have never even been removed
ok at what point did this guy say he’s gay..or are the gay’s stereotyping themselves? So what he had an exxagerated power walk..that was IT..he wasn’t flaming by any means..it was over the top acting the way it was supposed to be..who led this shyt Rosie? Let her tell it everything is damn attack
The commercial was weak but by no means did it allude to talking about gays. It was a far out there move on the part of the gays. If they get that affended they need serious help.
What should have happen is the commerical should have never been released because it was stupid as hell. Everyone can’t run because they have medical issues or because running is bad on the knees so you don’t need nuts to run. Whatever, it was a stupid as commerical.
So after seeing the video, I dont see where the guy is gay. Is it because he was switching his hips?? I dont know, doesnt seem offensive to me at all
He’s not even switching his hips, that is the gait any speed walker would have, male, female, black, white, gay, heterosexual, trysexual, bisexual, short, tall … I’mma need these gay rights groups to grow some balls and mann the eff up and stop whining like bishes. They need to focus on more serious issues, like discriminatory housing and gay people getting marginalized in the workplace.
Got to catch my breathe. Thats how some people mostly women look when they speedwalk. This had nothing to do with them. Nothing against them, but if they stop trying to walk like women this wouldn’t offend them. If the speedwalker was black would there have been a difference? Besides you rarely find women trying to switch as hard as they do.
