But this is the best part:
The models lean seductively over the hood of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, wearing only tiny yellow underwear emblazoned with the car's logo. Grasping a wash cloth, they rub down the car until it sparkles as an unseen cameraman asks about the car.

The videos, broadcast on YouTube, use sex appeal to sell Camaros to guys. Only the models aren't women, they're men.

The racy commercials are part of a new advertising campaign targeting gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.

Nobody will buy them -- because have you seen the additional dealer markup these dickwad car lots are asking for??

I've seen 10K plus -- that's a hell of a markup on a 35K car!

And they wonder why they're bankrupt...

I drove one this week in fact from a customer of mine. Same POS chevy it has always been. They intend to put out cars with cheap plastic parts. It's garbage, I can see why it doesn't sell. Once GM start making cars that don't look and feel cheap, they will be much better off. Sorry, I have to call it like I see it.

Maybe this is BS.

Don't fret yet.

If this is true, this would be a perfect example why the Government can't do ANYTHING right.

Even if this is BS, it is so PC and Stupid that it is almost believable.

God help us if this is a verifiable fact.
