Offensive?

[hjmick]

Is this commercial offensive? Is there some sublimal message I am missing?

It was pulled because gay groups found it offensive. I'm struggling to figure why.

I'll give you that, but it is just a commercial. Personally, I thought it was funny. Mr. T is funny, always has benn. Any gay connection was completely lost on me.

You have to be a hypersensitive idiot to be offended by it but lord knows we have our share who can't even stand "dirty" words.

on me too, until you told me they had protested it...and I figured the swishy way the speedwalker was walking - and the way he ran away like a girlieman from MrT. had to set them off.

That is funny! :laugh2:

A bit suggestive of gay maybe with the get some nuts thing, for me that made it funny, but speed walking isn't gay at all. I would think speed walkers would be more offended than anyone gay.

Suggesting they aren't acting like "real men" pissed off the gays.

gay, good lord, screw this PC crap, i was thinking of napoleon dynomite and thought it was a riff off of that...btw, great movie...fliiippin eh

I'm shocked. Just because someone walks 'gay' doesn't mean they're gay. Way to stereotype gay community.
Was it the 'real men comment?" As if Mr. T's opinion is the bomb. :laugh2:

If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

Thanks for the advice, Yurt!
