It's amazingly smart: appease AFA, then appease those the AFA hates, while telling AFA "Honest, we tried, but we'd be ruined financially."

I predict we'll see a hybrid car sticker of Calvin praying at a cross while peeing on the Ford logo.

Yes, I always thought it was funny they were stealing intellectual property to promote what good Christians they are.

He publicly denounced all of those stickers - they're not things that Calvin would do.

What I read today in the Chronicle said that Jaguar and Land Rover will still not be specifically advertised in the gay publications but rather that Ford will be running corporate ads that feature all eight lines of cars (as I interpret it this means a single ad will show all the brands offered by Ford). They reiterated that the decision to pull the J/LR ads was a business decision and that it still stood.

The quoted Ford executive sidestepped the question of whether the ads would be specifically "gay" (see above in threads for examples) but if they're corporate ads I doubt it.

I don't know how exactly it works but it sounds like the Jaguar and Land Rover brands will still not be making their own marketing decisions on this one.
