I assumed the Snickers comercial pushed him over the edge...Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View Post
Candy giant Mars pulled a U.K. Snickers advertisement after it was criticized for being homophobic, according to a gay-rights group.
The ad features LDS actor Kirby Heyborne, who has appeared in several LDS-themed movies, including Singles Ward, The RM, The Best Two Years, and others.
In the commercial, Heyborne is seen as effeminate man who is speed walking as Mr. T approaches him in a truck while firing Snickers candy bars at him from a gun. Mr. T then berates the speed walker, calling him "a disgrace to the man race." The commercial ends with Mr. T telling the audience to "Get some nuts."

Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

It was like having a really creepy guy pay attention to my daughter. Am I relieved he is moving on and having a moment somewhere else? Yes, I am.Comment

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

A few bits of the article:
“You are entitled to your views, but you are not entitled to promote them,” her bishop told her in explaining the excommunication — an odd rebuke from an organization with tens of thousands of missionaries.A lifelong Mormon, I began my dissent with the church over its political involvement with Proposition 8 when I was a student at Brigham Young University. I graduated in 2008 and began working for the university a month after. After I left that job last year, I posted a profile with Ordain Women, the organization Ms. Kelly founded. Like Ms. Kelly, I believe that the fundamental structural, cultural and spiritual inequalities Mormon women face can be rectified only if they are ordained as priests. I believed, in the wake of the “Mormon Moment,” that the church’s past attitude of hostility to “intellectuals” had cooled enough to handle civil dissent. I trusted that I and others would not be punished for publicly asking for answers to hard questions about church history, policy and practice.
I was wrong. Though I have not been disciplined, I have lost friends, and my views have strained more than one close relationship. I have been lucky to enjoy the unfailing support of my husband, but friends and some family members have cautioned me against my outspoken unorthodoxy. My faith, not just in the good will of church leadership but in the central message of Mormonism, has crumbled. In December, I stopped attending services. I have no plans to return."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
