I Pity The Fool Who Calls Mr. T Homophobic!

Monday, August 4th, 2008 at 10:13 am by Jamie

Angry Zen Minion Kensei sent over these Snickers commercials featuring Mr. T.

Funny, right?

Well, apparently, there are some who feel that this ad campaign which aired in the UK derides homosexuals. US based Human Rights Campaign filed a protest to the Mars corporation claiming that the ads, which never fucking aired in the US, support “the notion that the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community is a group of second class citizens and that violence against GLBT people is not only acceptable but humorous.”

That’s quite a bit of a stretch. First, there is no anti-gay, anti-lesbian, anti-bisexual, or anti-transgender language used by Mr. T. Second, since when is speed walking only associated with the GLBT community? Third, the commercial didn’t even air in the US so what the fuck are you complaining about?

What the flying fuck! Speed walking has to be one of the most ridiculous looking Olympic sports next to curling. I don’t want to live in a world where we can’t make fun of speed walking. The fucking guy looked like a skinny duck with yellow shorts so Mr. T shot at him with Snickers bars. Duck walking is not manly. That’s fucking funny!

As liberal as I guess I pretend to be these days, I’m getting really fed up with the political correcting of everything. You can’t give each other a fist pound without it being a terrorist hand shake. You can’t wear a black and white scarf on a commercial without it somehow supporting terrorists. You can’t say anything about black, white, or yellow people without being racist. You can’t call someone unmanly without being a homophobe. You have to wear a fucking flag pin or you’re not a patriot. What the hell people?!

Get over yourselves and get back to laughing. There are people dying in the world today reasons that no one has been able to really explain. You really think some stupid Snickers commercial will lead to the downfall of society?

Get some nuts? Get some fucking balls!

    Muahahah! I knew the day would come when you’d lean to the moderate side of things! Not conservative and not liberal, but Common fucking sense!
    Seriously though, I feel you man. It’s getting to the point where you can’t speak your mind any more without being called one thing or another.
    Which IMO is why this election year is going to be so screwed up. You can’t say anything negative about Obama to most liberals without being “a scared racist red-neck” and you can’t say anything against McCain to most conservatives with out being “an unpatriotic pussy”.
    Welcome to the new generation!

    I definitely want one of those rotary guns though. Stupid PC terms. Curse politics in general. I’ve always preferred equality through apathy. I treat all individuals the same unless information is presented that necessitates a differential treatment. Skin color means jack shit, religion might affect diet or something, and gender/sexual orientation don’t mean anything unless I’m interested (>.o), chances are I’m not, so you’re not getting special treatment cause it would take too much effort on my part. Yay for apathy.

    I just don’t see what either of those commercials has to do with being gay. Other then the connotation that if you are’nt acting manly enough someone is going to point a large phallic object in your face.

    There isn’t a single thing that promotes hate towards G.L.B.T peoples in those ads. These groups are “looking” to provoke people into arguments.

    Oddly enough, I was chatting with an acquaintance about this whole issue - he is openly gay and is on a committee to promote the GLBT lifestyle and raise awareness and what-not, and his counterparts in other cities actually do things like looking for the remotest homophobia in order to further their cause. It has nothing to do with raising awareness through knowledge, its all about exposure and creating sensationalist news to attract attention.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see that its actually a ploy to gain more recognition.
