AFA and three men in a shower

I'm not overly into pushing my political opinions on others. We all have different views on things and that is the way it should be. What I believe isn't necassarily what you believe and vice versa. That's fine. But we all know that there are a lot of people out there who think that their way is the right way and that's that. I received the email below from the American Family Association. All I could do was laugh. They're latest thing is to boycott Ford becuase they put an advertisement in a gay magazine (not porn), OUT! Magazine, which was on the opposite page as a picture and story about some guys in a shower. WTF? Who cares? Am I seriously not going to buy a Ford-owned Volvo car becuase of something like this? No way, and neither are most people (incidently, I do drive a Volvo, but not because of the shower ad:)

Here is the email:

Dear Mark,

Sales of Ford automobiles were flat in November, rising only 0.4 percent when compared to sales during November 2006. Since AFA began a boycott of Ford in March 2006, sales have dropped in 18 of the 21 months. Ford suffered a 12.1 percent loss for the year.

Ford continued to show support for the homosexual agenda, running a full page ad in the Dec. 07 - Jan. 08 homosexual publication OUT! The ad, for Ford's Volvo brand, was adjacent to a photo of three men taking a shower together. To see the ad and the shower photo, click here. (Warning! The photo is extremely graphic and offensive.)

AFA began the boycott of Ford after the company reneged on an agreement to stop supporting homosexual efforts. Ford reneged because of pressure from homosexual activists.

AFA asked Ford to remain neutral in the culture war, but Ford refused.

Please call your local dealer and tell him you are participating in the Ford boycott. To find your dealer, click the Take Action link below.

Please forward this to your family and friends!

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association
