In Britain it drew exactly two complaints, with anecdotal evidence indicating that gays were laughing it off in good humor. In the U.S., where it hasn’t even aired? Outrageously outrageous outrage, prompting Mars to cut its losses and torpedo the campaign. Behold the newest frontier of homophobia a washed-up 80s action hero belittling your masculinity by tossing candy bars and encouraging you to, er, “get some nuts.”
I like the soccer ad with the guy feigning injury, so Mr. T drives onto the field in his tank straight through a wall and then baseball cage leaving tank tracks everywhere.

Stupid people get offended by stupid things. There was a New Zealand car ad in which a baby got out of its crib, took it's mum's car keys and took the new Hyundai SUV for a ride.
Parents started complaining about this ad because, get this, they thought it would encourage their little tykes to copy the ad. Dispite the fact that a car is impossible for a three-year-old to drive, yet alone the fact that this particular car was too big for a toddler to get into. Really warrents a kick in the head for those people. Australians went even further and banned the ad because it "depicted unlawful driving practices", (e.g. underage driving.) Fuck people are stupid.
I think it would be a good pickle commercial advertisement concept as well. Nothing gay about a guy in a t-shirt showing off his muscles while shooting pickles at guys in short-shorts.
All we have here in Fin, is a Nutcase ad from Snickers.
But atleast all of them are genuine nutcases.
Karalahti has been caught of doing dope in his teens. He got some sort of fine for that and went to rehab and even got to the NHL until he fucked that up by going for some beer although the league had put him on zero tolerance. Well back to Finland with him. He was a lazy boy for summer practices and got the boot from Helsinki. Up north to Oulu and whaddaya know, cops come collect him from the ice during practice and haul him to jail where he sits for a month. He's released and later on sentenced for some jail time for allegedly funding dope shipping. That went to some supreme court after complaints or something, don't remember, and it's going to be all over the news later this year. But now he got a deal from germany to Hamburger Freezers. Not a dull season with him on the news.
Helenius is a slow, aging defenseman whos basically only mission on the team is to be a guard dog for the weak and puny humans. Will fight if someone is dumb enough to challenge him.
Salutskij has been fined for several assaults while intoxicated. He's a mean fucking floorball player and I wouldn't want to play against him. He hits hard.
Nielikäinen is a fast skater who thinks he has puck handling skills, but he doesn't. Your basic goon who has dropped gloves several times with Helenius and the upcoming season they play on the same team. Wonder if the rocket scientists will fight in the first game with eachother?
Ettala is just air-for-brains when he gets on his board.

I vote for the Easy Cheese replacement.There is nothing gay about two grown men spewing Easy Cheese all over each other. I can just imagine Mr. T taking one off the chin... wait, that's gay as hell.
