I think the fairy's revenge on the macho man subverts the tough guy image that they're trying to project onto the car. It suggests that macho men are really "fairies," or interchangeable with them. The fairy remains the powerful figure even if the car seems immune to that power.

I don't know. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I thought it was a funny ad. The fairy in the the ad is just a normal regular female fairy like Tinkerbell. Yeah, I know "Tinkerbell" is used to mean "gay". But that's one of the things I like about the ad-- it uses the proper meaning of words--- it's a shame that the meaning of "gay" and "fairy" etc. have changed so much since the time of Peter Pan on tv and the Flintstones and the way to gain them back is use them the right way.

I don't think the message is that macho men are really fairies. First, he doesn't change into a fairy or eevn a homosexual--- he turns into a preppie. Besides, there's no evidence in the commercial that she's revealing the true nature of things; rather, she's changing things as she sees fit to change them. The car is all powerful in the commercial precisely because resists that change.

Too bad the gay lobby got to it.
