On Monday, the American Family Association suspended its boycott on Ford Motor Co., after leaders from both groups met for initial talks to resolve issues of contention.

The American Family Association launched a nationwide boycott on Ford Motor Company on May 31, stating that the company openly promotes gay-rights by providing financial donations, domestic partnership benefits, and marketing targeted toward the gay community.

AFA had set up a website, www.boycottford.com, encouraging the public to sign a petition against Ford Motor Company. In less than a week, the petition had over 110,000 signatures.

Ford Motor Company, the second largest automaker in the world, responded by saying that they value the diversity in all employees and customers.

1. I wonder if his F-150, big tire driving members complained

that he was threatening their masculinity, or if maybe Ford called him and quietly mentioned the possiblity of a lawsuit. You can libel human beings in this country quite gleefully, but dis a product...

In any case, I'm glad he's seen the light and will mount his hobby horse and set his sights on yet another windmill. Maybe he'll start picking on women again. Yes, that's the ticket! Choose an easy target!

3. They are going to "re-evaluate" the boycott in December

Maybe "Ford Tough" spokesmodel Toby Keith complained!

4. It was the Nieman-Marcus Cowboy, Toby Keith, hisself

He marched right in there in his clean work boots and neatly-trimmed facial hair and threatened to cold-cock Wildmon with his immaculately clean fists.

2. 110,000 signatures--all with the first names Bubba, Butch and Billy Bob

Oddly, there were 110,000 different spellings of these first names, some of them almost close to right.

5. Back to fulminating over the sexuality of cartoons for ya, Donny

Stick to imaginary targets, they don't fight back!
