Offensive to gays, apparently.

Somehow.

So power-walking is officially gay then, as endorsed by The Gays(TM)?

Power-walking in skin-tight yellow lycra, mind.

Why does this look like some kind of porn abbreviation/reference?

The Snickers ad, made by the same agency that caused an international furore with the Heinz male kiss commercial


Why did I figure that even before I read that?

That ad is brilliant, and I don't even have sound!

I don't see how it's offensive to gay people or even referencing gay people. Gay men can be manly too, you know? Infact, by complaining about this aren't they just reinforcing the stereotypes they're surely trying to rid themselves of?

Idiots - that ad is awesome.
I love the way the Snickers minigun is obviously made up of parts from in a shed - the bike pedal for the handle, for example.

Ad = Awesome

Gay people who complained = Silly

And how the fuck are people in the US able to get stuff that's shown in the UK pulled off air?

I might find stereotypical depictions of British people on American shows grossly offensive*, could I get those pulled from their networks?

*I don't.

Gay people should be shot with Snickers bars. And so should everyone else.
