So, speedwalking is a 'gay' sport now? Way to go, tyranny of the minority!
Political correctness: 1
Mr. T: 0

I mean, I've been called a Nazi (Mr. Burns) and a White Power flag owner (basically the same idea, this by romanp), so I must ask, did anybody else actually find it funny, other than me? I thought Mr. T driving through the house was probably the funniest thing I've seen since the Hong Kong gossip article about SARS.

I would assume any guy speed walking was gay, so I understand why they might be offended. Still a f#$*&ing funny ad though. The best part of the whole internet age is, that even though it is banned, more people will see it now than if it was on T.V. Good job gay complainers, you've just ensured that the whole world will see this add. I for one am emailing it to my whole contact list.

Viral ads are nothing new:

It was probably more about the "like a real man comment" than the speed walking... I am not gay,,but I find it questionable..

Did they pull the ad right off the link? does anybody know where to find it?

I remember that Cat one, as soon as the sunroof opened, I knew what it was.

As a speedwalker, I'm mortally offended.

And did you notice, he didn't even get on speck of dust on that mohawk of his
