    One wrote: 'As a (British) gay man myself, I am fed up with the ultra-politically correct stance of organisations such as yours seeking out homophobia in places where none clearly exists.


    'Your entire approach actually damages the efforts of those of us who live in the real world to make any kind of headway in the fight against real homophobia - you know, the one that's responsible for people being kicked unconscious outside nightclubs, or driven to suicide through bullying.'

    Another said: 'I'm gay and I found the ad hilarious. If you make the connection speed walking and homosexuality then you just perpetuating the stereotypes about gay men.


    'And it sad to see that gay people start to take themselves too seriously, and why do Americans feel to complain on what's is on TV on this side of the pond?


    'And why people haven't anything better to do in their life than sending complaint emails?'

    Says it all really....

      "However, it prompted strong protests from the U.S. – even though it was never shown on American television". WTF.

      They were concerned at a possible homophobic connection rather than Mr T firing a machine gun at members of the public. Americans

          I liked this bit...

          When interiewed Mr T, who lives in a 4 bedroom detached property in Chiswick, West London, said his property is currently valued at £875,000, 6.4% lower than a year ago.

            He didn't say "sucka" at the end of his quote.
