Mr. T Eradicates World of Goofy Speedwalkers

Uh oh. The cause group for…speedwalkers is going to get their jockstraps in a twist over this new AMV BBDO-created Get Some Nuts commercial (higher quality Quicktime here) for Snickers in which Mr. T, atop a Mad Max-style pick up truck, shoots Snicker bars at a speedwalker using a Gatling gun. While hurling bars at the walker, Mr. T lets lose his usual “I pity the fool” tirade telling the walker he’s a “disgrace to the man race” and that it’s time to “run like a real man.”

While most would prefer to rid the streets of these goofy walkers for fear they will unduly influence their children into adopting the goofiness that is speedwalking, it won’t be surprising if some speedwalking fanatics make their way to Mars headquarters and slingshot, en mass, their jockstraps at the building pummeling executives into submission.

I’m 65 and I’ve watched three marriages in my friend group fall apart in retirement — and the pattern isn’t infidelity or money, it’s that these men spent forty years being providers and never learned how to actually be present with another human being

I’m 44 and I just realized that the reason I call my mother every Sunday isn’t love — it’s that when I was nine she once said “you’re the only one who checks on me” and I’ve been carrying that assignment for thirty-five years without ever asking to be relieved

Psychology says people who repeatedly attract emotionally unavailable partners aren’t unlucky. They’re fluent in a specific emotional dialect learned in childhood where love always required decoding, and available people feel foreign because clarity was never part of the original language
