I went semi-postal on a guy who sent me that petition via email. In addition to supporting GLBT issues, I loves my old Ford truck and if I ever replace it, the replacement will be another Ford truck. ---

Dammit, when I do get around to buying a car, it will almost certainly be a Ford. ---

To go with the Ford you also need a Motorola phone: [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE\_ID=28454](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=28454) My favourite from their list of sins: “1999 U.S. bereavement policy is amended to include same-sex partners of Gay and Lesbian employees.” Those bastards!! ---

But relax, secure in the knowing that those same marketing divisions are a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. 🙂 ---

So Ford was court-ordered to provide diversity training for every employee as part of a lawsuit about sexual harassment in the factories. But the AFA says ‘diversity’ is a code word for homosexuality. I’m a female working for Ford who’s diversity class was taught by a gay employee. If one boycotts the diversity classes, is one promoting sexual harassment? I love diversity training, any day getting paid not to work is a good day, does this mean I’m gay? I’m so confused. ---

Well, this just proves what I’ve suspected all along about my Ranger’s sexuality. After all, Rangers patrol forests and have daily contact with lumberjacks. And as Monty Python told us years ago, lumberjacks like to put on women’s clothing. How did it take AFA so long to figure this one out? ---

Ford got 100% in a survey by Human Rights Campaign-how terrible! Also, AFA should note that if you click on the links for more info on the ads you get straight to the Commercial Closet website…where you can make a donation to “improve” advertising. I wonder if any naive homophobes have clicked on the link, unaware they were donating money to teh gays? ---

Ranger, for those Janet Evanovich fans, is most certianly not a lumberjack kinda guy…he is hawt. Dear AFA, My husband drives a Focus. Is he gay? Signed, Concerned. ---

If you touch your volvo more than a manly firm stick shift, it means your gay. In this diversity class taught by the gay employee do you learn show tunes or play soft ball? :::::::::::::::flees room::::::::::::::::::::::::::; ---

On a more serious note, I’m at the dir-riculous boycott ford site and these peahens are outraged for donations to Human Rights Campaigns. (that guy featured in the ambiguous ad is a hottie, too.) Ummmmmmmmmmmm…what is wrong with human rights? Aren’t we all entitled to basic human rights or only closed minded bigots?
