Since I am a sports car nut, I receive many news stories about cars daily. Here is a story just published by Reuters about a new campaign by Ford. Sounds like ford is stereotyping a group to me...

noting the group's wealth and taste for luxury goods

Whoa, whoa, whoa . . . wait a minute!

America's most oppressed, beleaguered special interest group is wealthy and has a taste for luxury goods?

I'm confused - what exactly does "oppressed" mean?

Gee, I was going to say "gag me", but that didn't seem appropriate! I suppose they'll be changing their name to "Fork Motor Co.

I always thought Fords were cheap cars!

Wasn't Martina Navratilova hawking some SUV for a while? There was some dust-up over that.

advertising campaign that would pitch Jaguars to gay car buyers

Interesting choice of verbs. Their target market is "catchers".

Shouldn't they rename it the "Gerbil"?

The "Probe"... the "Gerbil"... hehehehehe!

I wonder if they will re-route the exhaust pipe?

Another meaning for the word "Shaguar."

Stereotypes sometimes are rooted in the truth. Wouldnt you say? This guy might buy a jag.

Can you imagine how horrified you'd be if you just plopped down $40k or whatever they cost to have one of these and the next day Ford anounced they were making it the official gay status car?
