Speed Walker - You're a Disgrace to the Man Race!



Apparently this Snickers commercial caused a bit of a stir across the pond because some people deemed it offensive to homosexuals.

In the commercial Mr T's truck pulls alongside an arse-wiggling speed walker and proceeds to tell him: "Speed walking. I pity you fool. You are a disgrace to the man race. It's time to run like a real man."

He then fires Snickers bars at the speed walker, who increases his speed to a jogging pace.

The Advertising Standards Authority received just two complaints about the ad during the week it was shown here in the UK.

It's a tongue in cheek commercial. Just a bit of harmless fun to attract a smile from the audience.

These tree hugging liberals really do need to get out more!
