Mr. T, Batman Themes on NTV Station Today
If there are people immune to the goofy charm of actor/wrestler/mohawk-rocker Mr. T, they are people I don’t care to know. Fortunately, the fine folks at Snickers do not suffer from such poor taste. The latest commercial in the “Get Some Nuts” campaign features a speedwalker in short shorts and a very large truck. It is pure joy.
And Karina Longworth takes a look at a man who’s taken his talent for filmmaking and songwriting and applied them to an unusual purpose: adding lyrics to the theme music for blockbuster films, with hilarious results. (It definitely helps that he wears costumes.) Come see what Andrew Goldenberg has to sing about Batman, over on NewTeeVee Station!

Check it out and thanks for sharing the link to Andrew Goldenberg, that had me laughing.

I like Mr. T as much as the next guy, but the (barely concealed) subtext of that commercial is appallingly homophobic.
