This AP wire story crafted by David Bauder manages to find the “victims of religious sex scandals” angle on it, thereby abiding by the official liberal media guidebook, while also managing to attack a couple of their other traditional liberal nemeses: big corporations (even if it is clearly staffed with liberal marketing reps), and Christian religious icons; but it manages to show, nonetheless, how liberals have learned NOTHING over the past years.
Am I crazy, or are the marketing reps toying with the notion of lust or sex, with a little girl, in order to sell trucks? During the family-watched Superbowl (as if this would be acceptable anytime anywhere).
I’m not sure if I’d rather sit with family—grandma and a little girl, say, and see Janet Jackson’s ugly sagging middle-aged nipple-pierced breast and her slutty porno rock show, or this—how about neither? Is that remotely possible?
NEW YORK – Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday yanked a planned Super Bowl advertisement that depicts a clergyman tempted by a new pickup truck after some victims of clergy sex abuse complained it made light of their trauma.
The company wants to keep the focus on its new truck model rather than any controversy, said Sara Tatchio, spokeswoman for Ford’s Lincoln division.
The ad shows a set of car keys placed on a collection plate. The clergyman finds a new Lincoln Mark LT truck in the parking lot, and lovingly caresses the exterior.
The car’s owner then enters the picture, with his little girl poking her head from behind him — the implication being she had dropped the keys in the plate. The clergyman hands over the keys, then is depicted adding the letters L-T to a message board advertising an upcoming sermon, to spell lust.
The Chicago-based Survivors Networks of those Abused by Priests believed the little girl’s presence in the ad with the clergyman and word “lust” had sexual overtones and that Lincoln was playing off the news of religious sex scandals to sell cars.
The survivors’ group urged Ford to pull the ad and, within hours of their complaint, the company obliged.
