Thanks, I laughed so much

Where does a guy get a gun that shoots candy bars? I want one. ...and some Snickers too.

This is funny stuff! Offensive? ahhhh c'mon now...

Wow To be offended by that>?

Some people get their panties all bunched up to easily and walk around like tight ass's..

Who are they fooling?

Maybe being over sensitive...

Welcome to Special Interests Group Land.....ah, hell, sorry, I mean modern America.

I love the guys who get offended for a group, as if they're a bloody proxy or something. "I'm not gay but I'll be offended for them, even if they're not!"

 

[RockCity]

Every opinion is offensive. But there is a clear line where action should be taken and where it should not. This is far from that line. Remember kids, melodramatic sensitivity can cause intolerance.

I fail to see why this is offensive to the homosexual community. I think it is funny how a couple homosexuals raise a fuss and the media takes notice. The same is not true about a few Christians.

 

[TheAnomaly]

i don't see how homosexuals specifically would be offended by this. the guy was speed walking; are we to interpret the slight shimmying of his hips as evidence of his sexual orientation? honestly people are grasping here.

 

[vagarach]

It's just a funny ad. Nothing else. Is speed walking manly? May be, may be not, but that's the extent of any offense that could be taken from Mr T.

 

[NeObliviscaris]

what abt the female community, they can't just 'get some nuts', this ad must offend them?

Speed walker video This is the second time a Snickers commercial has offended the gay community after the Super Bowl one. Super Bowl Yes I do find it offensive but to the Speed Walker community, it is an olympic sport and for having tried it a couple times, I rather run a marathon than speed walk 10 km. I also find it hillarious, well I guess I am biased cause I love Mr. T. I asked a gay couple that I am friends with and they find it funny and they hate speed walkers and find them annoying when they jog. Another funny Mr. T Snickers commercial, I love it when he throws the Snickers at his face. He should be footbal/soccer referee for the Italian league and Italian national team. This is kinda offensive for Italian football players. Link edit: For those who didn't know the speed walking and kissing commercial were both pulled from the air due to the complaint from the gay community. Both were considered homophobic.

The only one that could be offending, from my point of view, is the first ad where they attack the runner. But I have to admit, I found it funny.
Thanks for the linkage.

How come whenever the gay thing comes up, someone has to throw the christians in it too? :O

 

[subfocus]

If nothing else , the fact that we're actually discussing 'the Snickers advert ban' (on a headphone forum) means the marketing campaign has worked very, very well.

 

[F107plus5]

.....but only if we want to buy the product because of it.

Ain't nothin' there that prompts me to go out and buy the stuff.
