Of course the video is gone. If GM wants to be Gay Motors, who cares? Other than those being annoying meddlers, gay guys tend to be good customers. I think they are great because they never make advances to women and leave more of them for the straight guys! A good friend of mine lets his wife associate with his gay brother. She gets all here chattiness and gossip out with him and is much better at home. His brother drives a Camaro by the way. Another gay car I have seen is the Jeep, lots of fruity guys behind the wheel of those.

A Camaro is not really a "gay car" per se. They seem prefer Honda, Volvo and other cars like that.

Really? I had no idea they had a preference.

I know a gay dude that has a '04 Silverado 4x with a lift, winch and a tool box. He is in construction, and races motorcycles, and has a big belt buckle.

I am sure that gays drive all kinds of vehicles but generally speaking I don't see many high horsepower vehicles in Midtown. A Corvette every now and then but not too many.

I'm beginning to think this ad is bogus, with the media falling for it.

The video is not on YouTube. it is bogus from the beginning. But it would not have been the first ad aimed at the gay culture. Why not go for the people who have money.

Interesting they're marketing this as a gay man's car though. I just don't see this brute being on the same level as the more technically complex Porsche Boxster, Acura TL or Mercedes C, which according to my gay friend, are more appealing.

No surprise they're pandering with this kind of ad, though. It's a Government Motors ad after all. Straight white males need not apply. With these kinds of ads IMO they will kill the Camaro's traditional customer base and if they keep this GLBT pandering up, I wouldn't be surprised if GM goes completely down the tubes in the near future.
Hmm...ah, don't you think you're goin a little overboard here?? It's just one ad; there is nothing indicating this is a car meant for gay guys. Don't worry, they'll be plenty of ad's out there with blonde big busted girls showin off their cleavage. An ad like this would not hurt the cars sales whatsoever. For every readneck, they'll be at least a thousands who will either ignore it or laugh it off, as it should be....
