For a local movie promotion a week ago aimed at gay buyers, General Motors' Chevrolet sponsored an online video on YouTube featuring the "Bumble Bee Boys in Briefs" -- a couple of buff "go-go boys" wearing only Speedo-type swimsuits with the letters CAMARO stitched across the behind. In the video, they are washing a Camaro. . . .If you see a guy driving a Chevy . . . well, NTTAWWT.
The video was produced to promote Chevrolet Gay Days at the Movies in Los Angeles, part of an ongoing outreach program to minority groups and the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender community. The movie was a screening of the new Transformers movie, chock full of GM vehicles including Bumblebee, a Camaro.
UPDATE: I'm thinking Chevrolet needs a new slogan: "We're here! We're queer! We're driving Chevy!"
UPDATE II: In keeping with their LBGT/Obama agenda, General Motors today unveiled a new logo:
Does anyone really think that gays are going to be rushing out to get the new Camaro? Everyone knows that its either a Saab, Subaru, or a Sebring Convertable that are the go-to gaymobiles
ReplyDeleteWell... My Dad said American cars needed to get back their "lust" factor.

I knew the trend of designing cars with bigass trunks would come to this.

ReplyDeleteI am sending this to my Chevy loving brother in law.
ReplyDeleteBut my 62 Chevy truck is still OK, right?
OK, I am going to be contrarian about this, but I would be pissed if GM / Chevy weren't reaching out to the gay community. Gays as a demographic group have more disposable income than most - that means they can spend on cars - and since I as a taxpayer am now a stockholder in GM I want them maximizing profits. If that means going after the gay demographic more power too em.
