Still Incomprehensible

I guess you heard about how a Snickers ad starring Mr. T was pulled due to complaints about “stereotyping and bullying.” I’m not one to complain about political correctness, because such complaints have in themselves become PC (and eventually it’ll be politically correct to complain about the political correctness of complaints about political correctness), but I just don’t see it. The speedwalker isn’t identified as gay, and Mr. T doesn’t shoot him with the Snickers gun for being gay, he shoots him for being a speedwalker. It is anti-speedwalking. Now, how eating Snickers bars is supposed to get you in better shape, I’m not sure. But judge for yourself.
