brilliant!!

Woot!!!! He only said to run like a real man... How is that offensive?

'As a (British) gay man myself, I am fed up with the ultra-politically correct stance of organisations such as yours seeking out homophobia in places where none clearly exists. Your entire approach actually damages the efforts of those of us who live in the real world to make any kind of headway in the fight against real homophobia - you know, the one that's responsible for people being kicked unconscious outside nightclubs, or driven to suicide through bullying.'

Another said: 'I'm gay and I found the ad hilarious. If you make the connection speed walking and homosexuality then you just perpetuating the stereotypes about gay men. It's sad to see that gay people start to take themselves too seriously, and why do Americans feel to complain on what's is on TV on this side of the pond? Why people haven't anything better to do in their life than sending complaint emails?'

Well said to those people. Its OTT all the F'ing time, the minority spoiling it for everyone! Why didnt they pull the Football one... Thats clearly a gay man's game if power walking is ha ha ha.

'Do Gooders' Yet again 'Do badders'!

Oh God no. The gay issue again. Boring

How don't the Yanks complain about this?

I love this quote:

The U.S. lobby group Human Rights Campaign 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’.

errr yes it is accetable, and yes they are!!

How ridiculous - at no point IMO does it relate to gay men!! the only people it is offensive to is speed walkers!!!
