Undermining Mr. T

I realized a while back that when Rocky fought Clubber Lang in Rocky III, Lang represented the ego, wealth and flash of then contemporary figures in the sports and entertainment industry who threatened to beat down the simple, modest class of traditional figures in the sports and entertainment industry, which is represented by Rocky and Micky, who's actually cut down by this jazzed up contemporary star...

NOW.... The audience is forced, through technique, to root for Rocky. He's our hero, the underdog, the one with heart. Everything you know for those two hours is that Rocky must win his rematch with Clubber Lang for the good of the nation!

SO.... In real life, Mr. T really is Clubber Lang. He's the flash, the commercialized icon for the consumerism society of today. Don't you think it's odd/amusing that Mr. T accepted to play a role in a film that mirrors his role in life to such an extent that he is actually participating in delivering a message and ideology that undermines his own position in society?!
