Saying this commercial is offensive to gays is offensive to gays in itself in my opinion. It's just stereotyping gay people by implying all gay men walk this way and they're not real men.
My first response to this was 'who cares, I don't see anything wrong', but then I kind of thought that the guy's getting berated for, what is essentially, speed walking in an effeminate way - thus he's wimpy and not a 'real man' (the costume and the close up shot did the most damage in making it seem suggestive.)
I don't really like the whole 'you need to be more macho' message of the campaign anyway, but whatever. I don't really think it's worth the attention it got. It's not insidious.
@stompafly well i think it kinda is because if u look on american tv that is the STEROTYPICAL homosexual and thats what many stupid and ignorant people believe is "gay" therefore from that point of view, uneducated people who dont know any better automatically assume the guy is gay and say derogatory comments that are like the ones in the commercial. in closing, its all how you look at it
I hate his fucking patronizing way of talking to people and looking at them thinking hes above them, what a fucking retarded twat, he needs to get some nuts
I'm gay and I wasnt offended to be honest I couldent see how the comercial related to homophobia at all. And still love me some MR T dat guys amazing :D
UK pulled it because it was clearly taling the piss out of gay people - I guess it depends on what kind of society you want in your country. We took the view that we didn't want our kids watching a gay steriotype being humiliated however rediculous the add was - because when demeaning people becomes a comercial norm everyone suffers
@trevortrevortsr2 A load of bullocks' - This is Mr.T we're talking about here, like the dude said he's been using that character as a marketing brand for decades the Manly version of Bill Cosby who used his "Dad Next Door" persona to sell Pudding Pops for decades. This needs to stop as he did not deserve that type of treatment seeing as it was markeeting who dictates how the commercial should go AND what the fuck does a speed walker have anything to do with Gays? Skinny+powerwalking=homophobe?
@Sileni Hey i never said mr T was a homophobe - when adds are targeted at kids with odd overtly camp images being mocked it reienforces a negative - We don't want to project steriotypes that may make kids feel uncomfortable about who they are or who others may be.- Sometimes society needs to be pro active in creating a culture where diversity is embraced
Mr. T is one of the most awesome humans to ever walk the earth. Kudos to him for just being Mr. T. Also, I must be completely missing how this is even referencing gay people at all. I thought he was gonna say faggot or something to at least make it interesting. I think these people are just consciously looking for reasons to be offended. Seriously.
At what point in that advert was there any comment or referrence to the gay community? That guy was power walking, theres no connection from power walking and homosexuality, that's generalisation.
Besides, the advert in general is about a truly manly character (Mr T), having a go at less testosterone fuelled men, such as the power walker or, as he said, the football (soccar) player. The only reasoning behind that is that the slogan is 'get some nuts', in reference to the chocolate bar.
Mr. T is just dandy! Haha! Apologising like that was cute but he didn't need to it! I think the vast majority of gays would have watched this and laughed! Just to go a little further. To pull this out of the air because the guy is speed walking is insulting in itself. The assumption is that gay people speed walk... None of my gay friends that I know, speed walk. If there were a problem with this add, it would be the definition of masculinity not homosexuality.
bill o'Reilly i think is not a homophobic more of a clique type guy, example in the 60's homosexual was bad bill agreed , in 2010 homosexual is good- bill agreed
he flip flops according to which can benefits his television views
@aron2454 The bible also says slavery is ok too in both the old and the new testaments and also gives rules on how hard you can beat your slave. It goes something like this. If you beat your slave and he gets up after a day or two then you are not to be punished. So I'm sure you agree with that since you agree with what the bible says about homosexuals. You can't say you believe in the bible and pick out the verses that makes sense. We'll I guess you can,millions of Christians do it all the time
@aron2454 it's not stupid. you just make rationalizations because you know the outcome for yourself. you're the typical bible thumping ignorant brainwashed close minded religious nut bag who uses the bible to support the beliefs you believe in but the parts in the bible that you don't agree with and / or don't make sense you discard those, ie slavery which is approved by god in the old and new testament
@aron2454 well then i suggest that you go out and kill every homosexual you see men and women because if you believe your god wants you to do that and you don't then you are disobeying god. there are two sets of laws, mans law and gods law and gods law is much more important. so happy homo killing. send me a letter from D block and let me know how it all worked out for you
@aron2454 it is the same thing you racist nigger.you're just another racist fucking nigger from the jungle who is the typical nigger who whines and cries about everything blaming it on whitey. go fuck yourself nigger
As a Gay man myself - I found to offensive (my opinion)
I also do not believe I am a "moron" - thanks for sticking with the argument at hand and not reverting to insults about my opinion
"Run like a REAL MAN" + the Video game on line that went with this commercial was insulting to anyone that has been told a "Real Man" is straight - this is something you need to understand - It had nothing to do with Speed walking I agree
@Jaymeoshawa Well you would be wrong. If in your opinion, you feel that homosexuality makes someone not a a real man, then you're wrong. But manliness is what this was about. There's a difference. It's not manly to speed walk. Get over it.
As it was found in poor Taste MANY MANY other people must have also had this opinion for a big company like Mars to remove it after spending so much to make it hmmmmmmmmm
@Jaymeoshawa No not nessecarily. It could have just been one or two really rich people. Also even if it were many other people, all of those people are wrong. Something doesn't become right just because many people believe it. There are still many people who believe the earth is flat. That doesn't mean they're right. Neither are you just because people agree with you. hmmmmmm
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This commercial is insulting to homosexuals. People who say it's just funny are just ignorant. That would be like having a commercial and comparing African Americans to monkeys and saying, oh come on now it's funny. Wrong both are insulting. The fact of the matter is that being gay is the new black. Blacks have had their civil rights and it's time for the homosexuals to get theirs
how in god's name is it the same as comparing blacks to monkeys? there was no direct insult to gay's in this adverts, google speed walking that is how they all walk it's a technique.
@oye2a2000 It is insulting to gay people. Speed walkers don't walk like that. That guy was shaking his ass and walking girly. Then Mr T says while he's shooting that guy about making him into a man. It's the same as back in the early 1900s where blacks were portrayed with big red lips and called names like nigger, jigaboo, etc. Back them I'm sure they thought the same thing, "oh it's funny what's the harm?"
@oye2a2000 You're making assumptions about what Mr T meant in the commercial. I know and everybody else knows too. It's a reference to homosexuals. Everybody thinks it's funny because most of society is homophobic like people 100 years ago were afraid of black people. The word nigger was used all the time in the early 1900s but it wasn't considered bad until the civil rights movement. Agatha Christie had a book called the ten little niggers
@fasteddie847 maybe ur not ignorant ur just plain stupid,
if you think that then ur too stupid to deabate with
when gays are put on slave ships and whipped like animals with less than human rights. lose thier identity and history then maybe we can compare until then.
@oye2a2000 homosexuals may haven't been taken as slaves but they have endured about the same amount of violence both physical and emotional as african americans have. And homosexuals receive a lot of abuse from religious people who claim they choose to be that way. Just as thousands of years ago religions punished people for being left handed. It is the same thing you're just too ignorant to see it
please don't use words you don't understand the only ignorance here is you comparing the magnitude of civil right and slavey to homosexuality, that is absurd. you say the same amount of violence let throw fact 4 million slaves were killed in the voyage, African american are robbed of thier ancestry.
so please so your fact tht says over 4 million gay have been killed since the violence is the same
or show gay have been robbed of thier history. tht magnitude of emotional damage
@oye2a2000 Who knows how many gays have been killed. I'm sure there are no records being kept. Blacks haven't been robbed of their history. Slavery was good for the African Americans. If it wasn't for slavery the blacks would still be in Africa in the jungles dying of diseases. Many of the slaves brought over here were treated better than they would have back in Africa. Many many many black people have good lives today because of slavery
@fasteddie847 You're a dumbass. It's not insulting to homosexuals. It was aimed at speed walkers. Mr T said speed walking was not manly and it's not! Look at the way speed walkers move their butts. It's just not manly. You're confusing masculenity with sexual orientation. Dumbass
@fasteddie847 Idiot. I can speak about whatever I want. If you're wrong, I'm going to point it out. That's my right. Rights shouldn't be different based on sexual orientation you homophobe.
@jalbroven91 You're the idiot. You're telling me that this commercial isn't offensive to homosexuals when you're not homosexual. You're not only a idiot but a hypocrite to boot
@fasteddie847 You're the idiot. You don't have to be something to know whether or not something is offensive. I know that calling a mexican a wetback is offensive but I'm not mexican. See how that works? And you don't know what hypocrite means because you used it incorrectly.
@fasteddie847 You are being prejudiced man, assuming that the commercial is targeting homosexuals when it simply targets power walkers. Gay or not power walking is funny looking and is not what people think of when contemplating manly behavior. You can be the gayest man in the universe and still be a real man. Conversely you can be the straightest guy and be a pathetic excuse for a man
@fasteddie847 gays DO have civil rights. gays are NOT openly offended, persecuted, or segregated. the fact is, comparing gay people to homosexuals is ignorant itself. persecutions of african americans had genuine hatred behind it. and, saying someone is a "disgrace to the man race" is different than saying a group or lifestyle is. people really need to stop using scapegoats all the time. and the sooner we can laugh at each other and ourselves, the sooner we will truly all be equal.
@fasteddie847 well for the simple fact that it doesnt even mention homosexuality its not. if you think the guy was gay just for speed walking then thats your mind in the gutter (as they say). YOU'RE the homophobic for assuming that. you people insinuating that its homophobic is more prejudice than the commercial itself
You must be a f*cking idiot because speed walking is a sport (still not sure how) but the fact is every little thing in the world seems to upset someone.. whether it's gays or otherwise, and they all need to just grow a pair and deal with it.
Firstly it takes a real ignoramus to equate skin color and sexual orientation because they are not the same thing. A black person is born black, lives black and dies black and everyone who knows him/her and wasn't blind will know. A gay person can choose to be out in the open about their homosexuality or keep it private.Secondly all homosexuals aren't flamboyant and feminine. That is purely a way of letting everyone know you are gay. So keep private matters private. Your rights will be safe.
@jrtien I completely agree with you 100% percent; However. The actor playing the power walker isn't clearly gay hell not even in the commercials is the character a clear representation of homosexuality, as that's how all power-walkers walk!
It may appear swishy like how women would walk but trust me isn't this like an Olympic sport or something? GLAAD needs to get their priorities in order.
@fasteddie847 This has NOTHING to BLACKS BUT ANNOYING MALL "SPEED WALKERS" WHO INVADES OUR MALLS AT 8a.m. in the morning. This isn't like the Taco Bells commercial with the fucking Chihuahua here. Your not a culture but a bunch of social group just getting there kicks in fucking with people to get a rise out of people.
Mr.T. is one of the coolest dudes on the planet, why didn't they target the Snickers bar company instead of Mr.T.? Fucking wacks can't handle corporation but only one person.
Oh God now their attacking our Black American Icon's? They even targetting Artist not signed to any American label, like dancehall...pretty soon they will run out of people to target with this so called, "Homophobia label to stigmatize other peoples career to subjugate them by character assassination. Why the fuck are they even targeting Mr.T the dudes like in his late 50 or early 60's?
I've lost complete and utter respect for the GLAAD community.
. So according to Great Britain all speed walkers are gay? thats more insulting to speedwalkers from the Brits than it is insulting to gay people from Mr. T
Its offensive alright and the message was loud and clear in that ad. Mr T is a good guy but i think the cheque size made him overlook the reality that this ad would cause problems.
HAHAHA!!! Funny as hell but it's embarrassing to watch Mr T go out of his way trying to defend the commercial as not being offensive to gay people. It would have been better in my opinion if he had stood up for his right to make fun of whoever he likes. I mean it's just comedy.
lol, i can never see how this would be considered offensive and good for Mr T for defending himself. Wasnt it "Monty Python's Flying Circus" that had the "Ministry of Funny walks?" lol
I'm unsure why it was immediately deemed as homophobic whehn it was referring to speed-walking people, the real offense here is that all people that may speed-walk are gay.
Interesting proposition but I already ate your Dad's last night. Oh the squeals he makes when I tickle his asshole. He gets as giddy as a schoolgirl. And don't get me started on how well he bottoms.
Mr T laughs/giggles like a little girl. lol. I love him! BA BARACUS RULZ!

if he said something like faggot and fudge packer, then you can compare.
when he says 'be a man' he is mocking the sport, because speed walking is not a typical manly sport like football.
You're just making up shit in ur head becuz ur paranoid. you need to accept urself and stop twisting things. stop ur ignorant comparisons
oye2a2000 1 year ago
@oye2a2000 You're making assumptions about what Mr T meant in the commercial. I know and everybody else knows too. It's a reference to homosexuals. Everybody thinks it's funny because most of society is homophobic like people 100 years ago were afraid of black people. The word nigger was used all the time in the early 1900s but it wasn't considered bad until the civil rights movement. Agatha Christie had a book called the ten little niggers

what in god's name is wrong with you, what the fuck does any of this have to do with black people.
are you deranged?
who is everyone else? speak for urself. if it was everyone it would have been banned world wide.
its funni becuz speed walking is funni and that how they all walk like i just proven, if you bothered to watch it. one of my best friends is gay.
please tell where a gay slur was used in the commercial that you feel the need to compare it to a racial slur?
oye2a2000 1 year ago
@oye2a2000 It is the same. Being gay today is the same as being black in the 1960s. Nobody chooses to be gay as nobody chooses to be black.

@fasteddie847 maybe ur not ignorant ur just plain stupid,
if you think that then ur too stupid to deabate with
when gays are put on slave ships and whipped like animals with less than human rights. lose thier identity and history then maybe we can compare until then.
good riddance!
oye2a2000 1 year ago
@oye2a2000 homosexuals may haven't been taken as slaves but they have endured about the same amount of violence both physical and emotional as african americans have. And homosexuals receive a lot of abuse from religious people who claim they choose to be that way. Just as thousands of years ago religions punished people for being left handed. It is the same thing you're just too ignorant to see it
fasteddie847 1 year ago
@fasteddie847
please don't use words you don't understand the only ignorance here is you comparing the magnitude of civil right and slavey to homosexuality, that is absurd. you say the same amount of violence let throw fact 4 million slaves were killed in the voyage, African american are robbed of thier ancestry.
so please so your fact tht says over 4 million gay have been killed since the violence is the same
or show gay have been robbed of thier history. tht magnitude of emotional damage
oye2a2000 1 year ago
@oye2a2000 Who knows how many gays have been killed. I'm sure there are no records being kept. Blacks haven't been robbed of their history. Slavery was good for the African Americans. If it wasn't for slavery the blacks would still be in Africa in the jungles dying of diseases. Many of the slaves brought over here were treated better than they would have back in Africa. Many many many black people have good lives today because of slavery

@fasteddie847
there is something seriously wrong with you, you are the most ignorant racist person I have ever spoken to and your complaining about homophobia.
I don't have the energy to educate you.
if you think slavery is positive you are beyond educating.
Africa had governments and kingdoms, they lived in building had luxury items like bronze etc they had education math, astronomy and technology
but a racist piece of shit like you thinks it was a bunch of naked people dying from disease
oye2a2000 1 year ago
@fasteddie847 You're a dumbass. It's not insulting to homosexuals. It was aimed at speed walkers. Mr T said speed walking was not manly and it's not! Look at the way speed walkers move their butts. It's just not manly. You're confusing masculenity with sexual orientation. Dumbass

@fasteddie847 You are being prejudiced man, assuming that the commercial is targeting homosexuals when it simply targets power walkers. Gay or not power walking is funny looking and is not what people think of when contemplating manly behavior. You can be the gayest man in the universe and still be a real man. Conversely you can be the straightest guy and be a pathetic excuse for a man

@fasteddie847 gays DO have civil rights. gays are NOT openly offended, persecuted, or segregated. the fact is, comparing gay people to homosexuals is ignorant itself. persecutions of african americans had genuine hatred behind it. and, saying someone is a "disgrace to the man race" is different than saying a group or lifestyle is. people really need to stop using scapegoats all the time. and the sooner we can laugh at each other and ourselves, the sooner we will truly all be equal.

@fasteddie847 well for the simple fact that it doesnt even mention homosexuality its not. if you think the guy was gay just for speed walking then thats your mind in the gutter (as they say). YOU'RE the homophobic for assuming that. you people insinuating that its homophobic is more prejudice than the commercial itself

You must be a f*cking idiot because speed walking is a sport (still not sure how) but the fact is every little thing in the world seems to upset someone.. whether it's gays or otherwise, and they all need to just grow a pair and deal with it.
omenwolfe 1 year ago
Firstly it takes a real ignoramus to equate skin color and sexual orientation because they are not the same thing. A black person is born black, lives black and dies black and everyone who knows him/her and wasn't blind will know. A gay person can choose to be out in the open about their homosexuality or keep it private.Secondly all homosexuals aren't flamboyant and feminine. That is purely a way of letting everyone know you are gay. So keep private matters private. Your rights will be safe.
jrtien 1 year ago
@jrtien I completely agree with you 100% percent; However. The actor playing the power walker isn't clearly gay hell not even in the commercials is the character a clear representation of homosexuality, as that's how all power-walkers walk!
It may appear swishy like how women would walk but trust me isn't this like an Olympic sport or something? GLAAD needs to get their priorities in order.

@fasteddie847 This has NOTHING to BLACKS BUT ANNOYING MALL "SPEED WALKERS" WHO INVADES OUR MALLS AT 8a.m. in the morning. This isn't like the Taco Bells commercial with the fucking Chihuahua here. Your not a culture but a bunch of social group just getting there kicks in fucking with people to get a rise out of people.
Mr.T. is one of the coolest dudes on the planet, why didn't they target the Snickers bar company instead of Mr.T.? Fucking wacks can't handle corporation but only one person.

Oh God now their attacking our Black American Icon's? They even targetting Artist not signed to any American label, like dancehall...pretty soon they will run out of people to target with this so called, "Homophobia label to stigmatize other peoples career to subjugate them by character assassination. Why the fuck are they even targeting Mr.T the dudes like in his late 50 or early 60's?
I've lost complete and utter respect for the GLAAD community.

I'm unsure why it was immediately deemed as homophobic whehn it was referring to speed-walking people, the real offense here is that all people that may speed-walk are gay.
