ok, so I got on their mailing list, just out of curiousity, and also so that I can send kudos to whomever they want their members to send scorn to

today I get this:

Ford Makes Historic Move in Support of Groups Pushing Homosexual Marriage

Dear matt,

Earlier this year, Ford Motor Company sponsored a program showing two lesbians passionately kissing each other. Now the automaker has made an in-your-face move against traditional marriage advocates with the historic step of advertising all their name brands in a homosexual magazine. This followed a request by AFA that Ford withdraw from supporting any homosexual magazine.

...

In this issue of OUT, which Ford supported with their advertising, are articles such as Nightlife: Party All the Time. Here is the description OUT gave of that article: "Rockin' and raunchy queer clubs are making a comeback, and we tell you where the three hottest places to play are."

...

To view the front cover of OUT, click here. To see the Ford ad supporting OUT, with all their brands, click here. Notice the wording at the bottom of the ad: "Standing strong with America's families..." Since this ad was run in a homosexual publication, evidently Ford considers two homosexuals to be a "family."



what kills me is that not only do they LINK you to the offensive material, they even provided a VIDEO CLIP of the women kissing:

LMAO!!!! The AFA's own site is hosting lesbian porn! :rofl:

sometimes I wonder if that's the whole purpose of their mailing list... for those who have indignation fetishes, can 'safely' view sexual imagery, and still get the thrill of being offended by it?

:rofl:

1. I'll bet they needed to watch it again and again
and again and again and again.

Just to make sure it was sufficiently offensive.

:rofl:
