After "The A-Team" folded, Mr. T (seen here wearing a bandolier made of Snickers bars) fell on hard times and was forced to shill speedy meat defrosters for a living. In this particular FlavorWave Oven spot, Mr. T. craves a delicious meal, but pities the fool who makes him wait for it. Thankfully, his buddy Darla has a brand-new kitchen creation that will cut the jibber-jabber and get the meat on his plate faster.

I don`t feel sorry for these people that have made a lot of money and didn`t have enough brains to hang onto some of it.

I can't believe that these people think they are better than anyone else; they are so brainless and down-right stupid.

I've got to go with Rhonda on this one. They think they are better than us average folks, and wouldn't be caught dead with any of us. To some of those Nascar fans out there that were Dale Jr. T-shirts: Do you really think any of those greedy people would wear an article of clothing with your name on it? I think not. They care about what's in your wallet, not you as a living, breathing human being.

Wolfie,
While in basic, I agree with you. However, you used an example I want to defend. No all celebs are completely selfish. I go to church with a youth who
faced/faces some serious health issues and he is a major Dale Jr. fan. I'm not certain but I believe his Dr.'s at Duke arranged this. Dale Jr. took an afternoon (before a Sunday race) and spent his time playing video games with this kid. Provided his family with race tickets, jackets etc. But most importantly several hours making someone elses day. There was no publicity, nor pictures and press - just heart. As far as I know only a handfull even knew. I'm not a Dale Jr. fan myself normally, but I did pull for him that Sunday and he earned my respect.
Now, in general we make the celebs rich and that is all "some" care about.

Keep in mind that an actor is an actor; a gig is a gig; income is income. Why are people so interested in what kind of acting role a person has? In the final analysis, a thespian IS a thespian. There are no small roles or bad roles.

Mr. T. is a first-class a-hole.
I was a professional photographer in Los Angeles....I was at an event
which was raising money for a children's organization.
Mr. T was the "guest speaker"......he ate his lunch, said a few words,
and left without speaking to ANYONE, including the kids who came
to see him.
He's a real JERK.
Nothing would make me happier than seeing him selling cheap
gadgets on late night tv.

Mr.T stood up a kid dying of cancer at the hospital during the height of his career.

I saw him snap "no" to an African American kid who asked for his autograph. Later he charged kids---KIDS--four bucks for his scrawl. That's more than a buck a word.Now that he has been ill with no career,he is nice. Screw him.

i remember when mr. t did an interview where he said he wasn't going to get out of bed 'for no $25,000' to do a commercial for a chicken restaurant. bet he'd be glad to have that gig now!! it is downright shameful how much celebrities are paid and then they squander it away on mansions, fast cars, drugs, etc. as a teacher who doesn't quite earn what these big names do, i feel my job is a whole lot more important. isn't it ironic that we live in a country where a singer or actor makes $10,000,000 a year and the person who runs our country doesn't even earn a tenth of that?

What’s the difference between that and the Foreman grill? FlavorWave Oven looks pretty neat. They need a good famous spokesman and I've seen other strong men on info commercials before other than Mr. T.

I used to be a big fan of Mr. T's back in the day. However, Mr. T was a lame choice to promote this product. The product sounds like it might be something worth trying but with Mr. T as a spokesperson, it makes me think twice about buying it. He's a lousy actor and comes across as ignorant during the infomerical. The company should have chosen someone more articulate and with better acting skills.

What about the U.S. goverment giving our American Tax dollars to a foreign owned Auto company. Chrysler is 20% owned by Daimler and they are going to give 35% of the company to Fiat of Italy. Then Fiat has the option to buy the rest of Chrysler. All of this depends on the U.S. goverment giving Chrysler the bailout money by the end of March. Fiat is in finacial trouble and needs money so they are going to steal the American Tax payers money. Cerebus capital management is behind all this. They are another wallstreet thief looking to cash in at the expense of the American tax payer.

And the Fed just let the Germans come in and buy Chrysler when it was flush with big cash, buy an American success story with it's own money, pay off Mercedes unfunded pension debt with Chrysler's money, and devistate the company into the sorry broken mutt it is now. What about the American employees and families, engineers, designers, technicians, sales and marketing folks, assemblers and everyone else who spent a lifetime building the company and watching it raped and pillaged because Washington looked the other way as the money managers bargained and sold American jobs one industry at a time?

WOW such hate coming from people who have only listened to the media about Mr T, got sucked in (any) celebrity status, and seem to have a huge chip on their shoulder for a guy who raised himself from poor kid to famous dude. For those of you who may not have their facts straight Mr T is a Cancer survivor, in remission. He developed it the last season of the A-Team and hid it from his fans and many friends. He continued to work daily on the A Team even when he was so sick. When he was going through treatments he started going to children's cancer wards to give them hope. "If Mr T can get cancer and fight it..you can too! " He won several awards for his humanitarian efforts. And please don't forget the work he did at the height of his career working with Say No To Drugs. Bottom line he's a man, an actor, performer and possibly a person that was human a few times and was grumpy to a few fans.
