Snickers needs to take their own advice and get some nuts. The company pulled a commercial featuring Mr. T due to some complaints that the advertisement was “homophobic.” The TV spot that only aired in the UK features Mr. T taunting a speed-walker as he pulls up beside him in a Snickers combat truck and yells, “Speed walking. I pity you fool. You are a disgrace to the man race. It’s time to run like a real man.”
The commercial ends with the logo and tagline of, “Snickers: Get Some Nuts.” You can check out the whole campaign at their Web site: GetSomeNuts.TV
Here’s the commercial, so you can be the judge of its homophobia.
