Although Mr. T has come out and explained that this commercial was in no way meant to be offensive to anyone, It was banned in Great Britain and then a couple weeks later America as well. In the commercial, Mr. T made a couple comments that many people considered derogatory and offensive to homosexuals. The phrase's "Run like a real man" and "Get some nuts" are examples of what many found rude and uncalled for. This is an ineffective way of communicating & advertising because there are many ways of misinterpreting the commercials message.
