The American Family Association wants me to buy a Jaguar

Even though my car is a 2003, it is apparent that the American Family Association is using reverse pscyhology to ensure that I go and buy a Jaguar. I can think of no better reason than to finally break my 20 year habit of owning non-Fords than Ford’s commitment to GBL causes*.

I might be a heterosexual lapsed Christian, but anything I can do to undermine evil such as the AFA is effort well-spent.

Oops… forgot to add my footnote:

  • That’s hyperbole, of course. There are lots of things that would justify changing one’s habits more than support for GBL issues. However, it’s still a damn good reason.

Yay Ford!

I like this ad in particular.

:smiley:

Not only is Ford rainbow’d, they’re green, too.

I just wish I liked their products as much as I like the company.

So Ford is trying to entice teh gays huh? Well, that would explain a lot then. See, I happen to be one of teh gay people. I recently purchased a brand new 2005 Ford Mustang Convertible. It’s dark metallic gray with red leather interior. It’s so purty! I purchased this vehicle even though I have a perfectly good Chevrolet Blazer and Chevy Truck. Here I was blaming it on some kind of midlife crisis when obviously Ford has been using some kind of subliminal advertising aimed at teh gays! How devious! Midlife crisis my ass! I was deceived into buying my 'Stang! Good thing for Ford it’s so day-ummn fun to drive is all I gotta say!

Wasn’t Paris Hilton selling cars recently? I keep seeing that stupid commerical.

She really loves that car, enough that the car probably needs an STD screening by now.

This just makes me love my Vulva–err, Volvo even more!

Umm. . . does this mean it’s “okay” to go to Disney World again? I’m having a difficult time remembering who I’m supposed to hate, lately.

That was a hamburger.

What a great response :smiley: :smiley:
I wonder. There was/is a Buick Roadmaster. When does the Ford Assmaster come out? Will the radio only play disco and show tunes? :smiley:

Well, I didn’t know that Ford owned Volvo, but I am now more proud to drive mine.

The American Family Association asked me to leave this in the Pit, so I’m moving it to MPSIMS. Reverse psychology doesn’t work on me! Or does it?

They may be green. But that page is for the Rouge Center.
I am so easily amused.

I seem to have made my OP a whole lot milder than I’d intended, thus fooling Giraffe into thinking it wasn’t a Pit thread.

Guess I can’t say “fuck” now.

Even though I only moderate the dirty-mouth forum, I’m pretty sure it’s within the rules to swear in the other ones, so long as you don’t go into a filthy tirade. Hopefully another moderator will correct me if I’m wrong about that.

Anyway, the thread seemed like more of a pro-Ford discussion than an anti-AFA rant which is why I moved it. If it ends up getting heated, it can easily be moved back to the Pit.

Ach, I wasn’t intending to needle you about your modding decision. I was just observing that I’d originally intended the OP to come out a little more rant-y. Guess I missed the humour boat in the profanity, too. I think that’s at least three strikes for me on SDMB, today.

Sigh.

Looked to me like she was ****ing that car. The Hamburger looked entirely incidental. Kind of like on Car magazines where there’s often a scanitly clad young lady on them.

She wants to sell Hamburgers? Fine. DO something with the hamburger and leave the car alone.

[Hijack]
Then again, I’ve seen commericals I thought were selling beer and only later was told they were for jeans.

How am I supposed to know that? The whole commerical is a bunch of 20 somethings drinking beer. What does that have to do with jeans?

I can’t drive, and I have no money, but I am tempted to go out and buy an Aston Martin just to annoy the AFA.

You may be easily amused, but I’m not so swift. I was just working myself up to a really good snit (“that dumbass! Doesn’t she know the Rouge complex is *owned * by Ford? It says so right on the page . . .”) when I realized . . . oh. Rouge. Red. Green. Pun. :smack:

Almost self-whooshed, there. And while self-whooshing *is * whooshing with someone you love, I’d rather not have to shave my palms, if you know what I mean.

'cause I sure as hell don’t

No worries, I did take your post to be light-hearted self-commentary, not mod-needling. I wanted to make sure it was clear that the move wasn’t intended to rebuke you or stifle the ongoing discussion, but my response came out more serious and matter-of-fact than I intended.

Carry on. :slight_smile:
