MR. T is in trouble for shooting Snicker bars out of a gun at a gay, British speed-walker. Yeah, you're probably going to need me to explain this a little better.
Mr. T was doing a British TV commercial for Snickers. And it's a commercial that had to be YANKED after gay rights groups complained.
The ad features Mr. T manning a machine gun mounted to the back of a pickup truck, firing Snicker bars at an effeminate-looking speed-walker, while telling him, quote, "It's time to run like a REAL MAN."
While the speed-walker is never identified as gay, advocacy groups said they felt he was purposely exhibiting stereotypically gay behavior . . . and, of course, being made fun of for it. So the company pulled the ad. No word yet from Mr. T.
Here's the other ad in the series.
