Last week I appeared on Fox's O'Reilly Factor about an anti-gay Snickers ad that Mr. T had appeared in. Tonight, Mr. T will be on the show to discuss the ad.
I have no idea what Mr. Twill say - but I certainly hope he doesn't want to beat me up!

With all due respect to "Mr. T" (born 1952 as Laurence Tureaud), do you really think that this grunting Neanderthal even understands the mechanism that is used in the commercial in question, a mechanism which illustrates that it is ok to subject to ridicule and violence a man who doesn't fit into the traditional gender stereotypes?
As someone who seems to have made a name for himself (literally), "Mr. T" has profited off that asinine stereotype of what it means to be a "real man" for decades. I doubt that he will see any harm in it. He and Bill O'Reilly will have a "couple of laughs" and then it'll be onto the next segment.

With both of their IQs put together, they still wouldn't be as smart as a 5th grader. The only thing I remember about Mr. T is reading a number of years ago about how he got mad at his neighbors for something, so cut down all these beautiful old trees on his property for spite. I thought, what a big juvenile jerk. My opinion hasnt changed!

I for one will be watching this tonight. I have watched the ad in question a number of times and don’t understand why that is offensive. At what point did a speed walker become the martyr for gay rights groups? The ad means no harm!
I just downloaded Mr. T’s voice from Navtones.com for my GPS and I love it. But my question is, am I meant to get offended every time I make a wrong turn and he calls me a fool or something? On that note, I also got Kim Cattrall from Navtones, can I claim she is sexually harassing me when she says, “Lets just pull over and get in the backseat, that’s bigger enough for us two, or maybe three”? The Snickers ad is just an ad and with them pulling it, it’s probably getting more attention than it would have if it just came out. (Pun) “Get Some Nuts.”

Of course a member of the religious right would use foul hateful language and wish rape on someone. Hmmmm, since you're reading this website Jack, I think you're the one who would really like to have Mr. T's big snickers pole rammed up your fake christian ass. Besides, I doubt if Mr T could take Wayne. All those snickers have made him an out of shape lard-ass; almost as much fat as you have in your sanctimonious head.

Jack: you know damn well you want to be the filler in that sandwich. You need a boyfriend. Don't you put down Wayne like that. You can't hold a candle to him and your comments are easily translated as someone who is attracted to Wayne.

Jack, that's mighty "christian" of you to say that, you're a fake as well as a closet case, why else would you be here? Get a life and better yet, get laid, assuming you're cute enough or maybe not.
Mr. T will probably laugh it off with O'Reilly who by the way smirked his entire way through the interview with Wayne. What can you expect from a married right wing anti marriage equality basher who sexually harassed a woman and got away with it by settling out of court? Guilty by any stretch of the imagination. What a bigot and a hypocrite. He needs to be reminded of that everytime he opens his big fat mouth with his anti-gay rhetoric.

Well...how could anybody NOT smirk if you're interviewing Mr. T. He's such a cartoon character.

Whoops, I'm sorry. I misread you. You said he smirked his way through the interview with Wayne Besen. (I don't think he did, though. I think he just always looks like that).
