So he didn't look at the videos until today?????????????No wonder they went bankrupt.Now I wonder if anyone looked at my transmission before they put it in... strike that... installed it.I know Ford dosen't.... I gave away my "LAST" Ford because of that. I was hoping for the best at GM as I'm running out of buy American options
That was the "commercial"? Really? I thought it was supposed to be edgy and racey. I think Paris Hilton chomping on a hamburger washing a car with pasties on was more racey. I fail to see the cause for the uproar. reminds me of congress's hearings on baseball. Lets worry about some acutally important things.
After viewing a major portion of this B Cast regarding the removal of the Chevy Gaymaro video, I have a comment that is quite different from any that I've read so far. Do you remember the publicity gained by Coca Cola when they came out with New Coke? Do you recall the amount of un-paid publicity regarding the upcoming movie "Last Temptation of Christ?" What better way to get the otherwise indifferent general public to become interested and informed about something that couldn't be bought at any price.The guys in yellow jockeys didn't offend me nearly so much as the frequent use of the term "yanked" in reference to this video. As stated, this is no different than the tv and print ads from years past with suductive female models selling cars. The only difference is the "typical double standard" that is still alive and well in American society. Give me some scantily clad men any day instead of the female beauties that seem OK with the public. Come on guys and gals, do you really think the Wall Street types don't know how to get free publicity for a movie that by all accounts is a stinker?
It's a muscle car, so why not a muscle ad?It's also a trashy car, so why not a trashy ad?If this is the new GM I'm going to keep my Subie for another decarde.
They yanked that ad? That was tame if you ask me. And funny! The guy had a real laugh at the end and I found myself laughing with him. Soooo true, we've seen countless pushed up bra'ed bikini boobed babes wrestling in mud (wasn't that a light beer commercial?) and THAT'S NOT TASTELESS? But this rather tame ad, made for a specific event and a limited audience, is yanked? Ridiculous. Furthermore, gay men exist. Gay men have money. Gay men buy cars. If a gay man walks into a car dealer with stellar credit or a wad of money, do they turn him away? Scott Baker brought up the point that the US Government now partners in GM and said they should have caught it too. Well I think just the opposite. It's a fact that government funding requires an entity to be inclusive. Bottom line, I don't think the ad is "tasteless" at all.
WE OWN 2 CAMAROS AND A VETTE AND WE ARE GAY !!WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING? THEY MUST NOT WANT OUR GAY $$ S IF THEY INSULT US-WE COULD ALWAYS BUY FOREIGN--ADIOS G.M. !!!
Hahaha. This whole controversy and B cast is unbelievable and highlights precisely what is wrong with America, "Land of the Free." So unduly influenced by the right wing religious conservatives that we actually waste time talking about this ad which, lets remember, was was aimed at GM's gay customers or some gay day at the movies. Whatever, who cares - ad was extraordinarily tame based on the zeitgeist of 2009. What I want to know is, was the add effective? Did it get these gay day movie-goers to go check out GM cars? If so then great, good ad.
I'm a gay man as well, and I don't see anything offensive about the video. I agree with the posters who think GM has shown a double standard, since this ad was yanked as "tasteless" when ads showing scantily clad women are standard fare. By the way, the poster who made that crack about a gay with below-average intelligence might consider that gay people, as a group, consistently test above average on well-designed standardized tests.
Man on Man is sick. It is sick perversion. GM should stay away from this type of promotion. Yes we in America should respect others decision on how they live their life but that doesn't me we should promote it. I have nothing against gay people but everything against the perverted act.
OMG...you haven't seen racey until you've visited the 'pavion' at your nearest gay campground...GM get real...this is why my BF and I buy Honda...they give their employees same sex benefits...HONDA didn't take the bail out why did you GM!!
That video was incredibly tame. There are women in swimsuits on TV all the time and they're usually being more 'inappropriate' then the men in this video. It's just plain hypocrisy. Can't give the straight women and gay men any eye candy.
I'm glad I drive a Ford! Why didn't the faux-fierce-advocate Obama Administration just let the dinosaur go under?Let them dig their way out of bankruptcy with the knuckle-draggers' dollars.
Change out the men for women in this video, and everything would have been just fine. What's up for the double stand? Wouldn't women want to see this too??? We (the American public) need to just get over it.

how can you talk so long and say so much, yet communicate nothing? middle age gay with below average intelligence...

Oh please. As a gay man I can assure the straights that that very short video was tame according to gaydom. It was neither edgy nor offensive.
It's bs like this that make my BF and I buy Japanese and Swedish. Why Support American if they won't support us?

why does this webcast from B-Cast come with a sexual warning and we have to acknowledge it with a yes or no.So gay guys in speedos need a warning!
