Mr. T was my moral compass

You've got to read this story about two guys who are obsessed with Mr. T stuff. Of course they have like thousands of Mr. T items, including soap, cereal, and loads of dolls bearing His image, but the real kicker is the role Mr. T had in their growing up.

"I thought, 'I'm just going to do what Mr. T tells me.' And I did. I've never done any drugs in my life. Not one. I didn't take a drink until I was 23. And it somehow dawned on me that if I didn't do drugs, my younger brother wouldn't, either. And he hasn't. He's never even had a drink." ...


Mr. T was like a light to me. ... The guy was my moral compass.


It just gets better, too. Wow.
