Got a few of these responses this week from Ford, LR, Jag etc.
Let me paraphrase for you:
Dear Brad,
Blah Blah Blah. Yaddah yaddah yaddah.

-----------------
Dear Mr. Brad XXXXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting Jaguar Cars. We were sorry to learn of your
dissatisfaction regarding our projected advertising plans.
At Jaguar we will, as we have said previously, shift our marketing to
the GLBT community from more mass above-the-line communications, to a
more focused below-the line approach. We believe it will provide a
stronger and more effective platform to showcase and demonstrate our
vehicles. The change in emphasis reflects the development of new brand
campaigns and an accompanying sharpening of our media focus. These
decisions were taken entirely for business reasons. We fully understand
the concerns that were raised, and regret the way in which the plans
were unfortunately characterized.
We want to reaffirm that Jaguar values diversity among all of our
constituents and pride ourselves on strong and clear values -respect for
our customers, communities, employees, suppliers and dealers; acceptance
of our differences; inclusion of different people with different
perspectives; and integrity to always do the right thing. We value all
people - regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation
and cultural or physical differences. This is a strong commitment we
intend to carry forward with no exception.
We can only hope that, perhaps in the future, you will give us a chance
to restore your confidence in Jaguar.
Sincerely,
Colleen Hogan
