Remember that line from the Dudley Moore movie, Crazy People? “Jaguar: the car for men who want handjobs?” Well apparently Jaguar no longer wants to be associated with handjobs of any kind, since the company won’t be running ads in gay magazines anymore. The Advocate says Ford is pulling Jaguar ads from gay magazines and Web sites, along with those from its sister vehicle the Land Rover. And the smelly finger of the American Family Association is in on it: the group had threatened Ford with a boycott unless it de-fagged its ad policies. Ford says its move wasn’t the result of the boycott but groups like the HRC are demanding that the company come out in favor of, uh, coming out.
Ford is still letting Volvo be as gay as they want to be, though, since the car’s built in a country that lets two men register at IKEA together.
