Hilarious. Mr T just tryin to straighten up this world!! offensive???? get a fucking grip, the only people implying this speedwalker is gay are the ones that have complained!
I found nothing referring to homosexuality because homosexuality is someone who is looking at someone of their own gender in a funny way. To me, the guy was acting like a sissy so if this commercial were to be banned, it would be because it offends sissy people :P
This was banned because of the storm created in the U.S. despite it been an advert for the U.K. where there was no reactionary commentary to it. Why should the U.S. dictate what is advertised to U.K. citizens?
This is the same country that lobbied against a mayonnaise advert that showed two men kissing - in an advert shown in the U.K. - because it was grotesque. Double standards!
people need to get a fucking joke, that was funny as hell, i was laughing, i wish mroe comercials were like that, and if ur gay soo what take a joke and dont walk like a women or like u have a dildo up ur ass
that's how speedwalkers move - suggesting that he's gay by pulling the ad is not only stupid, it's insulting to speedwalkers and gay men! morons. another case of a minority of people making a big fuss over something that most people wouldn't care about and getting their way because a corporation is scared they'll be labelled a 'racist' or 'homophobic' or 'sexist'
you´re being an ignorant ass yourself. Most Americans, 99 percent, wouldn´t care. Not to mention the US having almost 4 times the population of the UK. Meaning more people to please. That aside, it was just a protest group that happend to be based in the U.S.
Let's get it right. Nothing is 'banned' from TV, it is only deemed "unsuitable" by the broadcasting authority. An outright ban would make it illegal to broadcast.
I can understand the reason for it being deemed unsuitable, as it would encourage random drive-by shooting of joggers. Some may even interperet that as encouraging random violence against homosexuals. Whatever. In the gun-obsessed US that might be the norm, but not in the civilised UK. Jolly good show it is too, what what.
@cameraguy38 get of your damn pedestal! if things were politically correct they wouldn't be nearly as funny. and it's a speedwalker, not a gay. he just looks gay. and you spelled civilized wrong :P
The UK is over fussy with loads of things compared with other countries. I say just broadcast it instead of giving in to nonsense that people come out with.
It wasn't banned because people think the man is gay, it was banned because it's saying that men should not be effeminate, that all should be manly.
It has wrongly had the blame pinned on gay people. Not all gay people find this offensive, just a handful - 15 to be exact.
In todays society, the message being sent out is that you should be allowed to be whoever you want, no matter if you're effeminate. It was pulled to prevent further homophobia in schools, which is already a huge problem.
Their is nothing wrong with the advert in any sence. People are far too quick to place influences down to games or t.v. what about the parents influence? or religious influences? if someone see's this advert and says faggot then that is because they already have a strong perjudice picked up from another influence. just like if they saw two men holding hands and said faggots. another advert was the toe-dipper, and no one thought he was gay. people are just being picky.
Kids are KILLED almost every month because they are PERCEIVED to be gay, whether they are or not. Yes, the stereotype is false - but millions of bigots think it is true. One critic of this ad was Judy Sheperd - whose son was brutally beated, tied to a fence and left for days until he died - because his attackers perceived him to be gay. I find this ad offensive.
well your contradicting yourself really and so is anyone who finds this offensive... your the ones who are actually implying the speedwalker is gay.. not anyone else =s
exactly what point of this did you find offensive? i think mr t was shooting at him not because he looks gay, but because he looks stupid speedwalking. its people like you that will take fun out of everything. and the worst part of it is if one of you start kicking and screaming about something you see or read the media watchdogs would gladly bend over backwards just to shut you up.
He was walking in a manner which could be construed as "gay". But T didn't say anything that was even remotely offensive to homosexuals. He's simply saying, as the song says, "walk like a man".
It's all because of this "Human Rights" chariot these people are riding. Let's point at this and say we're offended by it. Let's point at that and say it's racist/homophobic/anti-religious. It's all wrong.
It kind of sucks that people think that the few people who complain represent a large (and diverse) group. A lot of gay people aren't so easily offended and I'd imagine get just as sick of the ott reactions to nothing as everyone else. It got like 2 complaints over here (UK) and the ASA said it was fine.
So it wasn't banned, it was pulled by the company (just like the mayo advert) who don't want to risk alienating customers. Funny ad, not as good as the pool one though.
not offensive at all, people are taking it the wrong way, speedwalking isnt really manly is it, all Mr T is doing is having a giggle over it, running is more manly than speedwalking nothing to do with him being gay theres no indication of that in this ad
This is hysterical! I imagine the point is get a snickers down you and go running! Not bloody speed walking! Offensive to gays? HaHa! The world has gone mad!
Big respect to Mr T for setting the record straight on US tv - eventhough he didn't have to. Others might have gotten defensive and been stupid about it but Mr T was brill.
WoW! It didn't mention gay people at all! What the video was really doing is poking fun at what men are 'supposed' to be in an old world society circa the 1950s, the pinnacle of old world manliness.
How the spaceship is this offensive to gays? Nobody said the queer looking runner was a gay and it wasn't implied - the gays are claiming him as a gay simply by the way he looks which is them stereotyping themselves.
lol i seriously see your point. im gay, and i dont find this offensive at all (and trust me i find a lot of things offensive) but not this. im kinda sad it didnt reach america.
i (obviously) believe in gay rights but some people take this way to far. its really only offensive to... well power walkers... and maybe feminine guys? not really... just power walkers.
Once again, the BBC do not have adverts between programs. It's the only channel in the World that does not have advertising. Are you even in the UK? if not then take my word for it.
I find it offensive because they think just cuz the guy runs like a weak retard, it means he's gay. That's stereotyping man! That guy could be straight but nooo "It might be offensive to gay people" bull sh*t.
your comment is confusing but lemme see if i got htis right
nudeboy is offended that it was removed because gay people stereotyped themselves in the process, yes?
i like the commercial and find nothing in its content offensive to me, and mr. T is really funny. im gay, and i dont power walk, so i dont see how it could offend me. maybe gay power walkers. lol
No, it is a stereotype that male power walkers are gay, which is not true, speed walking looks stupid, in my opinion :p I like the commercial too, and Mr.T is totally kick ass awesome :D It's offensive to know that it was removed because people thought the guy was gay just because he power walks.
yeah but the people who had it removed would be homosexual, otherwise no one would care enough to remove it. from what i gathered to many homosexuals in europe complained about it so it was taken down before it even hit the US. so in reality the gay people went ahead and stereotyped themselves.
The PC patrol must be responsible for the lack of originality in most ads, I think being safe and funny are 2 contradictory terms nowadays. If there's even a hint of racism, homophobia, abuse, etc... it seems as though the ad is pulled
this was by far the best commerical ever made. Too bad the extremist gay lobbiests had to get their buttplugs in a bunch and demand it pulled off the air. Maybe we can complain about some of their garbage on TV to balance it out.
oh yeh one more thing why didn't the ask gay people if they found it offensive? i find it offencive that that people i don't like are incharge of what i whatch when i pay money to get a T.v. we should all rise against these people so what if 1 person gets offended? what about the extra million? If mankind it classed as a team i swear theres no I in Team? but there is a T so put this Advert on air!!!!
in america anything is possible, yeh some group of un employed tossers just want to make t.v their ways... heres a thought... see that remote? see those lovely digits? well you pay t.v license for the extra 4 chennels you know (40 with freeview) hows about changing the channel? it shows that these people love to pick on adverts it proves that they are the type that don't change the channel or leave the room when the show is on a break.
Speedwalking doesn't automatically mean you're gay. Hasn't anyone ever watched Malcom in the Middle? I guess Mr. T put it over the top cuz he's as hetero as they get. Maybe if it was a woman or something, like Wonderwoman with the machine gun, it would have been less offensive to gay people. I don't know. It's not funny anyways. Snickers is what health-concious people should eat during a workout? o.O I don't get it.
lol i notice how people are getting angry about British people just by watching this advert....perhaps that why it was banned, to stop a full scale world war against england lol
it wasn't band 'cos its offensive it was band because some amercian governing body decided that the advert was homophobic over looking the slightly racist matter of a big black man with lots of bling doing a drive by... whats the world coming to??
one more thing the americian speed walking team filed a complaint about the U.S human rights lobby for calling them gay but to file that complaint the had to send it to the U.S human rights lobby...
Bullshit. Almost every brit i ever met has bad teeth, and as for lazyiness? You guys take 50 fuckin tea breaks every day! And you guys ARE pompous! You guys always think your better than everyone else. America Cut your asses twice, so get over it.
i dont fucking think so shit for brains. americans. anyway i dont care about some self important dickweed with an over inflated ego that clings to stereotypes in order to insult people. you think you own the fucking world. lol you could not be more wrong
hahaha oh really? We don't own the world, just the best parts. See? We learned from your mistakes. That's why Brittan no longer rules the waves. If it wasn't for us, you Limeys would be Speaking Deutch right now, so dont forget it. And, your welcome. Thats the problem with you Euro's. Dont appreciate anything anyone does for ya. Maybe the next war, when your gettin your buts kicked, maybe we'll sit it out and watch from the sidelines. You know how we Americans love that Arm Chair Quarterbackin.
Some of you ungrateful dickheads need a lecture, and apparently a history lesson too. Just what the hell do they teach you guys in school over there anyway? How to sip your tea? How to be an arrogant ass with a smile? How to curl your finger when you wipe your ass?
Of course! your our Big (Little) Brother and we're your Little (Big) brother. And we have the right to pick on each other once in a while, because we are both far from perfect. There's always going to be Sibling rivalry, the point is to not let it go beyond just pickin on each other. I don't hold any ill tword you guy, Or england, for that matter. I'm just joshin with ya. I didnt realize you were such a touchy person. Hell, I'd say Fuck the Queen, but you cant even get near her. hahaha
And as for kickin your asses twice, we kicked your asses in the Revolutionary war. Wasn't until 1783 when you bastards finnaly recognized we were a nation, then you tried to stabb us in the back with New Orleans in 1812. You didnt hold it very long when Colonel Jackson got down there and kicked your asses out. Then you went and got in over your heads Twice last century, yeah, Jim Dandy to the Rescue. And if you cant laugh at your own countries Short falls, you really are Pompous.
hey dick shit we saved your arce in ww2 n were doin agen now n just so you no ur realy english peaple with diffrent acsents we moved indans off ur land and we regret coz we put you diks there
I'm Irish, Dickhead. See how much you know? My peeps been oppressed by your Limey bastards for Century's. America gave us our freedom, and we repaid them 10 fold. Sure they knocked us around in the beginning some, But we sure helped em Hand you Brits YOUR ass.
"Isn't it kind'a weird that explicit descriptions of gay sex (wilder than any porno movie coud ever show it) almost always coms from homophobic (self-proclaimed) heterosexuals? Craig, Limbaugh, Hoover...hint!?"
Hypocrites have been exposed throughout History. They tend to condemn those they envy. They punish people for actions they themselves have committed (and enjoyed committing). Whenever someone wants to outlaw something, it's almost always something they themselves like a whole lot.
people normally find this offencive bcoz mr t was saying he was running like a girl making him gay, lol but i think this is just really FUNNY! I AGREE WITH MR T!
explain to me how that dude "speed walking" in any way represented a homosexual that was just straight up good comedy and u just wasted a bunch of snickers money making that commercial so all u homosexuals out there that whined about that should pay them back
if there really is anything to be offended about then it is the stereotype that black people cause drive by shootings. lol that was a very funny ad. and it is a pity that it was taken off air. ps. the man doesn't look gay, just funny
Hilarious. Mr T just tryin to straighten up this world!! offensive???? get a fucking grip, the only people implying this speedwalker is gay are the ones that have complained!

nudeboy92 3 years ago
yeah but the people who had it removed would be homosexual, otherwise no one would care enough to remove it. from what i gathered to many homosexuals in europe complained about it so it was taken down before it even hit the US. so in reality the gay people went ahead and stereotyped themselves.
SolarSailors 3 years ago
That is true, but not all homosexuals chose to stereotype themselves. Only the silly ones >_> lol

The PC patrol must be responsible for the lack of originality in most ads, I think being safe and funny are 2 contradictory terms nowadays. If there's even a hint of racism, homophobia, abuse, etc... it seems as though the ad is pulled
DavidF89999 3 years ago
this was by far the best commerical ever made. Too bad the extremist gay lobbiests had to get their buttplugs in a bunch and demand it pulled off the air. Maybe we can complain about some of their garbage on TV to balance it out.

oh yeh one more thing why didn't the ask gay people if they found it offensive? i find it offencive that that people i don't like are incharge of what i whatch when i pay money to get a T.v. we should all rise against these people so what if 1 person gets offended? what about the extra million? If mankind it classed as a team i swear theres no I in Team? but there is a T so put this Advert on air!!!!
orion1394 3 years ago 2
in america anything is possible, yeh some group of un employed tossers just want to make t.v their ways... heres a thought... see that remote? see those lovely digits? well you pay t.v license for the extra 4 chennels you know (40 with freeview) hows about changing the channel? it shows that these people love to pick on adverts it proves that they are the type that don't change the channel or leave the room when the show is on a break.
orion1394 3 years ago 2
What I find offensive, is the critics' and complainers' assumption that speedwalking is gay!
"Run like a man!" just expresses the view that running is speedwalking done properly, the real hard core!
Geez, all those PC fascists....

Speedwalking doesn't automatically mean you're gay. Hasn't anyone ever watched Malcom in the Middle? I guess Mr. T put it over the top cuz he's as hetero as they get. Maybe if it was a woman or something, like Wonderwoman with the machine gun, it would have been less offensive to gay people. I don't know. It's not funny anyways. Snickers is what health-concious people should eat during a workout? o.O I don't get it.

If it wasn't for us, you Limeys would be Speaking Deutch right now, so dont forget it. And, your welcome. Thats the problem with you Euro's. Dont appreciate anything anyone does for ya. Maybe the next war, when your gettin your buts kicked, maybe we'll sit it out and watch from the sidelines. You know how we Americans love that Arm Chair Quarterbackin.

Of course! your our Big (Little) Brother and we're your Little (Big) brother. And we have the right to pick on each other once in a while, because we are both far from perfect. There's always going to be Sibling rivalry, the point is to not let it go beyond just pickin on each other. I don't hold any ill tword you guy, Or england, for that matter. I'm just joshin with ya.

And as for kickin your asses twice, we kicked your asses in the Revolutionary war. Wasn't until 1783 when you bastards finnaly recognized we were a nation, then you tried to stabb us in the back with New Orleans in 1812. You didnt hold it very long when Colonel Jackson got down there and kicked your asses out. Then you went and got in over your heads Twice last century, yeah, Jim Dandy to the Rescue. And if you cant laugh at your own countries Short falls, you really are Pompous.

"Isn't it kind'a weird that explicit descriptions of gay sex (wilder than any porno movie coud ever show it) almost always coms from homophobic (self-proclaimed) heterosexuals? Craig, Limbaugh, Hoover...hint!?"
Hypocrites have been exposed throughout History. They tend to condemn those they envy. They punish people for actions they themselves have committed (and enjoyed committing). Whenever someone wants to outlaw something, it's almost always something they themselves like a whole lot.
