Mr. T Candy Bar Ad Upsets Gay Groups - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A new Mr. T candy bar ad has been pulled from British TV screens after upsetting gay groups. The actor shoots Snickers bars at a speed walker in the 'Get Some Nuts' commercial, yelling, "You are a disgrace to the man race. It's time to run like a real man."

A leading gay rights group claims the ad is homophobic, prompting the Mars company bosses to axe the ad.

No sense of humor. Nothing but a bunch of sniveling whiners.

Why is it ANYTHING you right wingers dissagree with is "PC"?
Anyway, I agree that this is a lot of noise over nothing, nonetheless.

Right Winger? Everytime someone gets offended they bitch and moan about it. I'm offended by lots of stuff on TV but I don't try to take them off. This is supposed to be a democracy.

That's right, and since when is the phrase 'politically correct' only used by the right? Everyone knows that it's a universal phrase, or they should know.

Why must YOU always label right wingers??? You are the one who looks like a whiner.
