Reversing its recent controversial decision, Ford Motor Company announced today that it will once again place advertisements for its vehicles in gay newspapers and magazines. Less than a week ago, Ford removed all advertisements from gay publications after being criticized by the right-wing American Family Association for pandering to sodomites and sinners.
However, in a blow to the gay population, Ford announced that it would only market its "high end" Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles to gays. This ignited a firestorm amongst the gay, lesbian, and transgendered community, who feel that they are being unfairly deprived of the opportunity to sample from Ford's extensive line of exceptionally built vehicles. A representative of the California based Association of Homosexual Ford Enthusiasts, issued the following statement:
"The gay population is frankly dismayed that Ford, a great American car maker, would deprive our community of the opportunity to sample from the entire spectrum of fine Ford automobiles. Sure, Jags and Land Rovers are great and all, but what about the Ford Focus, Ford Escort, and F250 Super Duty? Let's put it this way, unless and until Ford begins marketing their shitty cars in every f#%cking magazine in West Hollywood, they will be the target of boycotts and parades. Ford professes that all of its vehicles are "Built Ford Tough," but I guess they're not built tough enough for gays, huh.....the hypocrisy is astounding!"
Evidently, Ford has messed with the wrong interest group. Next time you see a homosexual rolling down the street in a 1987 Ford Falcon, remember this day in Civil Rights history.
