Americans telling Brits and anyone anywhere else including here what to view on TV and what not to view through threats and such through PC run amock is unacceptable, and should be fought at all chances to do so.
MR. T'S SNICKERS AD PULLED IN UK: Mars scraps spot after receiving complaints in the U.S. that it was homophobic.
EURweb.com - : "*Candy giant Mars decided to pull its UK TV ad for Snickers after receiving complaints in the U.S. that the spot, featuring Mr. T harassing a male speed walker, was offensive to gays.
The commercial features Mr. T in the back of a flatbed truck barreling through a quiet suburban neighborhood to catch up with the speed walker, a white male dressed in tight yellow shorts.
'Speed walking? I pity you fool. You a disgrace to the man race. It's time to run like a real man,' Mr. T yells at the man before shooting Snickers bars at him with a huge machine gun mounted on the truck. The ad closes with Mr. T saying: 'Snickers! Get some nuts!'
The commercial, by ad agency AMV BBDO, does not air here in the States, and has barely ruffled feathers in the U.K. The country's Advertising Standards Authority received just two complaints since its debut on July 13 and did not investigate the commercial for a possible breach of the advertising code." continued
