Interesting comment there...
How do they know this?
I've never been asked this question when visiting a showroom or buying a car...
Is the Sales Manager holding data mining meetings with the Salesmen?
Sales Manager: "Bill... How many queers today?"
Bill: "Three I think. And an old guy who was checking my package."
Voice from back of room
"What package?"
Sales Manager: "Very funny. Lenny, How many queers?"
Lenny: "A couple, and a lesbian I'd like to convert."
Voice from back of room
"Your ex-wife?"
Lenny: "Shut the f*ck up about her Johnson!"
Sales Manager: raising voice "Put a lid on it people! Larry... Any queers today?"
How else can they be confident that their queer-traffic is at any given level if they don't talk about it and compare notes? What other tools could they possibly be using?
And does anyone believe for an instant that it doesn't play out, in a back room, pretty much exactly as I suggest here?
Ford is almost certainly exploiting faggots for profit...
LOL!
That is one of the things I've done...
Nope. Not gonna go there. Wouldn't be prudent.
I have a gut feeling that a LOT of similarities between Ford and Disney could be found.
Ford was once my transportation of choice, cars and trucks both, but nagging quality problems and their increasingly flaky politics over the last 20 years have severely dulled the edge they once had with me.
I'm more likely to buy a Chrysler product these days, and -yes- I know that they've got plenty of problems of their own.
I have the use of my limbs, thank God. I don't walk as fast as I did when I was younger, but I can walk...
Which effectively rules out a GM product.
Creating target markets based on racial and sexual features that separate some group of people from the rest of society, corporate America reinforces the trend toward division and emphasis of differences. Is a man or woman's gayness that person's primary characteristic? Is it the thing that will determine what car they buy? This is another manifestation of the mindset that has produced multiculturalism and the fragmentation of our culture into various subcultures. We now have different music, t.v. shows and products marketed toward us based on our ethnicity and/or sexual orientation. Few aspects of culture are universally shared anymore. Because of Madison Avenue, we have less and less in common with those outside our "target market".
Perhaps because they are often DINKs (dual income, no kids).
that's hysterical..
Oh, no kidding.. absolutely.
People with the money and taste to be in a position to purchase high end (smirk) cars regularly won't like to be tweaked at the club over their expensive new toy.
And they have plenty of other products to choose from.
