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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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?

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.
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.
