A Snickers ad featuring Mr. T has been pulled worldwide because some homosexuals think it's gay.
The commercial, which is embedded below 1, is absolutely hysterical and features a man speedwalking. Mr. T tells him to "run like a real man" and calls him a "disgrace to the man race." While the ad was shown in the UK, the Human Rights Campaign objected to the campaign and Snickers maker, Mars, caved.
A lot of so-called "artists" and netizens like to throw the word, "censorship" around like they know what it means, but not being allowed to do whatever you want whenever and wherever you want to do it is not censorship. This is censorship; this is Fascism - this is the very definition of the word.
The Human Rights Campaign is literally saying that you are too stupid to delineate between humor and hatred, so they felt compelled to step-in and save you from the hassle. Luckily we weren't forced to decide for ourselves!
