Homophobic Ford

If you aren’t familiar with the American Family Association (AFA), here’s all you need to know: they are anti-gay. Recently, they scolded Ford Motor Company for advertising the Jaguar and Land Rover in gay publications. What did Ford do? Fold like a cheap deck of cards. They are pulling ads out of those publications.

What the AFA has neglected to realize is something Ford, and everyone in the advertising world, already knows: Gays have money. They are wonderful, fabulous capitalists who love to spend, spend, spend. The fact that Ford chose to advertise its two most pricey products in gay mags proves that.

In fact, I wonder, does Ford advertise the pricey Jaguar and Land Rover in Right Wing Wackado Christian Fundamental magazines? Somehow, I doubt it. I can’t say for sure since life is short and I don’t want to waste precious moments reading what really amounts to nothing more than a bad mixture of neo-nazi literature and fairy tales.
