I wonder if <b>John Amaechi</b> drives one? Also, if that model in this advertisement is really gay, I would allow him to eat crackers in my bed… uhm..in my bmw…uhm…truck.

Trust me, boycotts by bigots is the least of their troubles. Poor management and bloated paperwork process is to blame, and I have a hard time figuring out how sexual preference of end driver plays into that.

It didn't mean they were less likely to buy a Ford vehicle, but it did make a negative impression on them. (Again, it would be easier to understand that if I was a bigoted fool...)
