Video: Mr T 'Gay' Snickers Advert

An advert for Snickers featuring Mr T that was taken off the air after receiving just 2 complaints.

The real reason that the advert was taken off the air was because a U.S.lobby group called the Human Rights Campaign the campaign even though it hadn't aired in the States.

The group criticised Mars – which makes Snickers – for condoning ‘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’.

This is despite the advert, as well as another featuring Mr T being received positively in the UK. [via]
