Mr T's Snickers ad 'offensive to gays'

this isn't even offensive to gays. it is just saying that men, whether they are gay or straight, should be running as opposed to speed walking.

wow. why do the homosexuals get offensive bouut this stuff. i know that there are alot of things that really is meant to hurt them or go against them but this isnt one of them. im a strong believer in letting the homosexuals do whatever and i know plenty of them and i dont judge them. but even after watching this over and over its has nothing to do with the homosexuals. the shorts arent even tight and if your speed walkin then thats how it you walk and im sure it was suppose to be like that to be funny. get some nuts. that saying has nuthing to do with the homoseuals one of the best thing in a snickers is the nuts. i just dont understand why there has to be so much conflict for something so small.

I didn't pick this guy as gay at all. What do the human righters think indicates his sexuality? Hair colour, clothing, gait? All speedwalkers have that gait because they have to put their heels to the ground with each step. This is another case of a few do gooders trying to manipulate everyone. I agree with the above..USE the Remote.

mr t advert is not homophobic

i can sympathie with mr t's comments i think that the advert was wrongfully banned all because the gay factorial groups got the wrong end of the stick the advert was in no indecation of being gay or racist the adverts plot was telling an useless runner to gain more energy by hurteling snickers bars at him and mr t's comments was wisecracking and funny i have never seen mr t bieng racist or homophobic because i have grown up of watching mr t in the ateam and other 80's shows and if people complain about adverts like these why dont they simply watch something else by using a remote myself like mr t is not racist or homophobic.

We should just put them all on an island somewhere, then bomb it into oblivion.

Who let these people speak for us? No wonder everybody hates us.

I'm confused - how is the speedwalker gay and where are the Human Rights Campaign coming from? Are all male speedwalkers gay? Because that's the only way this ad could be seen as offensive.

If any group of people should be offended by this ad, it should be male speedwalkers, regardless of their sexuality, who are being told they are not real men for taking part in this form of exercise!

All that add is suppose to do is a few things...

Most importantly be funny... Sell Snickers Chocolate bars... Remind us of Mr T.

What a load of PC hogwash - as a proud member of the SMW (Straight Men and Women) Network, I find the act most humorous in the extreme. The PC response from the HRC i consider a form of veiled "Heterophobia" is it a crime for Mr T to wear his 80s machismo on his sleeve and lament the rise of effemminate, nerdy looking chaps wearing ball crushers.

BTW more awareness of the concept of heterophobia and the SMW is long overdue!!!!

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger!"

Yours the Caped Crusader and for the last time neither I am Robin are gay!!!!

Perhaps I missed something, but I didn't see any reference to homosexuality.
