i thought it was funny. I don't really see it as offensive to gay men, i think the whole idea was that speed walking is a false attempt at staying fit, mine as well give in to junk food....if it does have a gay connotation, i didn't pick it up from watching the ad.

Anyone speedwalking looks bizarre. The only time most people walk like that, is when there's a turtle head emerging and the nearest shitter is an underwear change away.

that's offensive to gay people? but when people say Tom Cruise is gay, the gay community seems fine with it. I dont get it.

Viral ad. I doubt there was any protest on it.
It's funny and quite good, and god knows we definately need more better ads. It's also good to see an old has-been like Mr.T getting work.

As a speedwalker, I'm mortally offended.
I KNEW IT!!!!! couldnt put my finger on it, but I knew there was something very different about you...should have known though... what with you being a guitarist
What does being a guitarist have to do with it? I don't speedwalk

If I were gay I'd be offended by any comparison to speedwalkers. The way they move their hips and such? What a bunch of effin' ho's!
