GM Pulls Gay-Themed Ads From YouTube

Apparently, the powerful General Motors company has the luxury of limiting the demographic groups to which they must appeal, because after posting several gay-themed Camaro advertisements to YouTube, said advertisements have now been pulled. (It seems that these spots might have also been some sort of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen tie-in, which would probably make sense to me if I'd seen the movie, which I haven't because of repeated warnings that it will turn my brain to paste.)

General Motors has ordered all videos created for their Chevrolet "Gay Day at the Movies" promotion be removed from You Tube. The videos, which featured amateur footage of two "go go boys" washing a Camaro, were deemed inappropriate by GM.

"The video was not appropriate and not in good taste," said GM spokesman Dave Barthmuss. The videos were seen as a bad representation for the company by GM executives said Barthmuss.

Also widely seen as giving General Motors a "bad representation": the cars manufactured by General Motors.
