The commercial features a fairy, read that sprite, pixie, brownie, what have you.
The Gay lobby is grasping at straws, and merely trying to intimidate Corporate America.
Would these crybabies be whining if the guy had said, "ridiculous little sprite"?

I own a cute SUV!Sometimes I worry about you, bert.
They think these are cute too. Why not just go whole hog?

Just remember to put a cut flower or two in the dashboard-mounted vase.

Yea, I know now I should have bought the Lexus RX330.

I should have bought the Lexus RX330.I know. I own 3 Toyotas and an F-350.
Guess which is always in the shop?

I just saw the ad again tonight. The quote was still in there, as was the very queer sounding "AWWWW". I giggle every time I see that commercial.

I've adamantly sworn never to buy another Plymouth.
Guess things can change.
This ad warms my heart.
IT's a breath of air in a stifled, artificial, PC world.

But what no advertiser has any business doing is calling people fairies, because it is cheap, because it is gratuitous, because it is hateful. Well, you're REALLY gonna find this "hateful:"

From the article:
For the record, Daimler Chrysler and BBDO protest that this spot is obviously not homophobic because the guy with the lap dogs is a preppy type-as opposed to some flamboyant queen. Of course, the same people swear they were totally unaware of the "fairy" double-entendre. ![](http://cmsimg.detnews.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=C3&Date=20060406&Category=AUTO01&ArtNo=604060380&Ref=V2&Profile=1148Q=100&MaxW=500)
Preppie? Yeah, maybe a flamboyant gay preppie.
I like this commercial and think it is both creative and funny.
To: razorback-bert
The cute one?Nope, the big manly one with the brushbuster and the gooseneck hitch.
The cute one starts every day.

But the fairy (sprite, elf, pixie, whatever) was turning everything into pastels. The train ended up multicolored. These guys are just itching to whine about something, anything, to get the spotlight on them and their agenda.

I don't see them complaining about the Nabisco snack fairy or whatever that guy in the tutu is called.
To: cicero's_son
It was on during the evening news broadcast just 15 minutes ago and it still had the same line at the end. I guess they think us Okies can deal with it.

Hey! I have a yappy little ankle-biting dog!
So I'll wave my magic wand and in a year she'll turn into a beautiful, 70 pound black lab/blue heeler! :-)

That guy makes my Gaydar go red alert!
