michael Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 hi4DEdUmA6A Apparently it's homophobic http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1039369/Mr-Ts-Snickers-advert-axed-US-human-rights-groups-complain-homophobia.html 2 complaints and despite not being shown in the US.... The U.S. lobby group Human Rights Campaign criticised Mars – which makes Snickers – for condoning ‘the notion that the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community is a group of second class To me all this says is that the Human Rights Campain group clearly think that speedwalking is gay *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I thought that was quite a good advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I was so insulted by it I almost turned Gay with rebellion Not Really:D It was too short imo(the length of the advert), MR T should have run him over in his flying tank thing for wearing those homosexual shorts, I was offended by them because I'm heterosexual - theres another reason to ban it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well as MrT said nothing mentioning being a queer, catching gay etc then it speaks volumes about the complaintants. Anyway, he wasn't speed walking, he was clenching... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy W Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've just bought a snickers. Question is, did you speedwalk to the shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Question is, did you speedwalk to the shops? Don't be ridiculous! I got my boyfriend Alfonse to go! He's a lovely mover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Don't be ridiculous! I got my boyfriend Alfonse to go! He's a lovely mover. Had visions of you power walking to the shops with a banana on your head there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Had visions of you power walking to the shops with a banana on your head there. Not to say I haven't occasionally sauntered to the sweetie shop with some colourful yet tasteful tropical-fruit headwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 lol for a second there i thought the gun would shoot a snickers bar were the sun doesnt shine!!! get some nuts in you or up you???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Does this mean that speedwalking isnt gay? No...... It's very gay. The only un-pc thing about speed/power walking is that it used to be called "mincing"...... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruggs Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dont see anything wrong with the advert.......although maybe the "homophobic" bit of it is the image Mr.T repeatedly firing his "big cannon" at the guy in the tight running shorts?

keancy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was half expecting it was banned because of the Health and Saftey issue of shooting Snickers Bars at someone but never because speedwalking is seen as gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
