Mr. T Goes Nuts

It seems the United States is able to export something after all – Political Correctness. In a recent Snickers candy bar commercial Mr. T accuses a speedwalking man of not running like a real man. He then proceeds to fire Snickers bars at him in an attempt to have him run rather than speedwalk through the neighborhood. This has apparently offended some. First aired in Britian, the ad was pulled and was never shown in the United States. Who are these thin-skinned wimps that exert that much power and influence over a major corporation? After all, speedwalking is funny to watch and this commercial was very funny. Had these human rights groups not said anything I would never had known to associate speedwalking with homosexuality. This is one more case of big business bowing down to a special interest group. I would suggest that Mars Inc. eat one of their Snickers bars and get some nuts because in the words of Mr. T, “I pity the fools!”
Watch the commercial
