Seems like some in the U.K. find this offensive:

Pressure from activist groups had the ad pulled from television.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

I thought it was pretty funny. I thought the Brits were a bit more tolerable. Didn't seem that bad to me. But what is MR T doing commercials in England for?

I saw it in the U.S., before it got pulled. I was vaguely surprised that they would allow it, since everyone is so politically correct these days. It really is kind of funny...

I don't think it's the gay factor --

GET SOME NUTS?


I think it was the testes tagline more than anything that got it yanked!

I shook Mr. T's hand in Chicago waiting for an elevator once.  He was nice guy, friendly, and very well spoken believe it or not.  Short guy, like 5'8" or so.  He was not gay.  In fact, he was black.

I pity the fool who says this is a gay advert.
Some right wing conspiracy, no doubt.
More people in this country need to stand up
to these Keith Olbermann loser types.
Slap the pansies on the face, ala Patton.
To hell with these sums a bitches.
I will buy a box of Snickers tomorrow
drive to Provincetown, and commence firing!

The UK is a ridiculously PC nation and so, anything remotely like this is bound tto cause offence to some winging minority – and that isn’t a reference to the gay community either.

I doubt those who complained were gay.

Btw, I think its an excellent advert.

I'm sick of all this "politically correct" mania.
I'm changing my consumer habits to boycott products from "politically correct" companies.
