Proof positive that the people at the American Family Assn. are foaming-at-the-mouth crazy....
:crazy: :crazy:


from their website:


Ford and 3 Men in a Shower



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!

1. I wish all of those mouthbreathers would take their thirst for the culture war
and go enlist to help fight the REAL but ILLEGAL war that their cowardly leader (he is not MY president) started, so that those brave men and women who are in Iraq and Afghanistan can come home.

10. That Is The Whole Purpose Of the Exercise, Ma'am
'Expose' is traditionally the most effective means of distributing pornography, and a great many fundamentalists who are aroused by homosexual imagery depend on this organization for gratification of these repressed urges....

However closetted they are, why don't they just go and look for the extremely easily accessible straight up porn all over the Internet? It's not as if anyone would know.

42. They Would Know They Had, Sir
And hate themselves doubly in the morning, as it were, over what they had done. You will be aware of those moments of clarity and release to quiescence following on orgasm, and the sadness, even bewilderment, that can mark them when one is not completely at ease with the means by which it was achieved.

The problem is that such people are requiring themselves to live to a standard they cannot match up to, and cannot release themselves from its requirements. Yet the images haunt them, and they need a supply of them. There is only this one channel of supply, masked as it is outrage and revulsion, and even a sense of community, available to them.

31. D'OH! I made a boo-boo there....
Your "oh i miss Dave" comment had me scratching my head for a minute....
Then I figured it out.

'Twasn't Dave CHAPPELL, it was Dave ATTEL- the doughy, unshaven caucasian comedian.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused- I'm gonna go EDIT
that before it causes more.

36. "Insomniac with Dave Attell"...I ws a big fan!
I loved that show, and he was the perfect guy to do it!

It was a great blend of pre-arranged interviews, and the
"reality TV" segments of him wandering around whatever city
he was doing a comedy-club gig at.

That's why Ford's sales are down, pure and simple.

What's next? Will the AFA take credit for the mortgage crisis? :rofl:

It's not like Ford planned to have that other ad published on the FACING page. WTF is the matter with these people, acting as if that's somehow Ford's fault! And let me tell you, that silly photo isn't half as offensive as the stories you'll read in the Bible. Talk about perverted sex and violence!!

These people must scour through the gay mags continually, in order to find this. They seem quite obsessed with gay men, don't they...?

BTW, whoever scanned that into a PDF did a piss-poor job of it. If you're gonna lead a crusade, at least develop some rudimentary computer skills first! :rofl:

41. LMAO
I don't know if they still have this, er, position, but at one point Concerned Women for America had a woman whose sole job was to watch what they deemed "porn" and report on it. Back before AAR was around I used to listen to their radio show for shits and giggles and sure enough every Friday there was the porn report.

I often thought about pretending to be a right wing hatemonger and joining their group so I could get this job. (Hey, as a former evangelical, I can talk code with the best of them.) :rofl:

46. The sight of three male tushes
albeit in a shower, might be a teensy bit raunchy (in a really FUN way!), but graphic? Hardly! We saw more than that of Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon (1st one) and Kevin Bacon in Wild Things. There are probably other examples, but shit, these people really have a problem. They probably gasp when confronted with a picture of Michelangelo's statue of David, which is religious in nature. These people are twits.

51. Must be time for me to have my annual chat with their press secretary, then.
;)

The last time we chatted, I got her all confused by asking her why their church would be against human rights for gay people but for human rights for African Americans. See, abolition started in the churches, but there are all sorts of verses promoting slavery. So, six verses on homosexual behavior makes them automatically against all LGBT people everywhere and believe that it's okay to keep them as lesser citizens when an entire book in the New Testament wasn't enough to turn them against slavery? She got all quiet, and that's when she hung up on me.

Maybe I need to start my phone banking again. ;)
