Another Snickers commercial causes controversy, featuring my childhood hero Mr. T shooting a speed walker with a Snickers loaded gattling gun shouting "Fool" (like always) "Walk like a man" and "Get some nuts" (as in snickers) at the end.

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.

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.

i find people who take offence to stupid stuff offensive. but i do fins the add weird. My guess is that snickers is doing it on purpose to make us talk about it, and i find that offensive. not the add, but snickers thinking we can be fooled. If i didn't already not eat chocolate, i would boycott them, but mainly just because i want to boycott something.

Do the gays want some cheese with their whine? Seriously, you can find something offending to somebody in most anything.

It's just a commercial? Darn, I started speed walking in my neighborhood in the hope Mr T will give me some Snickers.

personally, I find people misspelling the word "ad" as "add" offensive. Not really, but the commercials are funny.

EDIT: Holy cow, im 500+

I blame the lack of creativity. Shows nowadays actually try to offend you so that you'll keep watching. I've watched a lot of great shows that really couldn't offend anyone, well, maybe except space aliens.
