GM's Beefy Camaro Ad Targets Gay Men (VIDEO)

UPDATE: This promotion has been removed from YouTube...

In a new ad, GM's putting the muscle back in muscle car. (Apologies for the strained metaphor...)

USA Today has news of GM's racy new promo spot for its Camaro, which was posted on YouTube to support Chevrolet Gay Days At The Movies in Los Angeles. The video features "go go boys" in tight bathing suits washing a Camaro. Subtle it is not.

USA Today spoke to a GM spokesperson about the promotion: "Dave Barthmuss, a General Motors spokesman, said the promotion might surprise some 'because you don't see it in the mainstream.'"

GM told USA Today it wasn't specifically targeting gay men with Camaro promotions. The men pictured in the video are "bumblebee boys," a tie-in with the yellow Bumblebee Camaro featured in Transformers 2.

No word on whether or not taxpayer funds were used to buy those skin-tight Speedos...

And no one ever believed me when I used to call Camaros gay...

Excellent. Too hilarious. Watch the hetero males go wild over this even though it is mild compared to near naked women humping cars, motors cycles and even air for all manners of product, including hamburgers.

Way to sell it GM.

before you go "all hell naw, Chevy gone Queer" well think really hard and ask yourself: do I have the disposable capital to drop 30K plus on a sports car these days... probably not while have you ever seen a broke gay man? Nope because they are not spending all there money on well... women!

p.s. I rather still spend the cash on a girl, they smell better however I'll never get "tricked" or "sugar dad" tagged
