Gay Camaro Ad yanked by GM

Apparently some parts of General Motors released a video for Youtube and such showing several guys in underwear washing a Camaro. The company had it yanked today saying it should not have been released.

Anyone know a site that has the video on the web? I'd love to take a look (and show it to a Camaro-driving friend of mine).

Haha. I don't know of any gay folk that would be driving a Camaro.

Well, I'm more interested in the guys in underwear than the Camarao. It's a straight car, really. But I did want to show it to my (straight) friend who used to drive one.

is GM now on a don't buy list?

You can see the video here, it starts at 1:44

totally lame, not really a commercial, and stereotypical bar fag demographic.

It really really sucks. What's your opinion?

that was going to sell cars?

Wow, you weren't kidding that it sucked. I know a few guys who might have bought the models, but no one that would have bought the car because of the ad.

Seriously, give me my old video camera back, my friend Steve's Camaro, and half a dozen Sean Cody models and I'll show you what a real ad targeting the gay community would look like.

(Bonus: if I can film my friend Steve I'll even have him indignantly yelling, "stop making out on the hood of my car!" I'm thinking something along those lines might be a good ending for the commercial.)
