fucking hilarious... I swear the ads that get pulled are better, get more views and gain the company more promotion than regular ads ever do.

Get some nuts!! ROTFL

yeah, there's no such thing as bad publicity. this is probably their most popular ad right now!

i thought it was funny. I don't really see it as offensive to gay men, i think the whole idea was that speed walking is a false attempt at staying fit, mine as well give in to junk food....if it does have a gay connotation, i didn't pick it up from watching the ad.

Anyone speedwalking looks bizarre. The only time most people walk like that, is when there's a turtle head emerging and the nearest shitter is an underwear change away.

How Gay.

that's offensive to gay people? but when people say Tom Cruise is gay, the gay community seems fine with it. I dont get it.

Viral ad. I doubt there was any protest on it.

It's funny and quite good, and god knows we definately need more better ads.
It's also good to see an old has-been like Mr.T getting work.
