You'd better be careful tossing around words like that, Cossack, or somebody out there might perceive them to be an act of violence.

If I went to Courtesy Ford with buying a car in mind, and I "kicked" the tires, I wonder if they'd call the authorities on me. "Kicking" can be rather violent, you know. Maybe I should just get down on my knees and gently "pat" the tires.

there was an alternative to the "fix or repair daily" motto i was taught about ford. won't bring it up though. could be interpreted as violence.

I'm sure automobile salesmen never tell a joke that contains even a trace of violence, but I'll bet the salespersons on the floor at the local Ford dealership will be super cautious now!

WARNING: NEVER USE THIS EMOTICON ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD. IT IS CALLED "MATRIXFIGHT" AND COULD EASILY BE PERCEIVED AS VIOLENT:

AND PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING THIS ONE: IT IS CALLED "HUMP." IT'S NOT REALLY

VIOLENT, BUT IT COULD BE MISPERCEIVED THAT WAY. THERE MAY ONE OR TWO OTHERS

THAT YOU SHOULD USE ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK (SEE EMOTICONS BELOW):

FORD meant Fix Or Repair Daily--postec by Cossack.

I learned these:

Found On Road Dead

Flip Over Read Directions

F**ked Over Rebuilt Dodge

Ok, one for the Ford lovers--First On Race Day

"Auto Week awarded Ford’s Focus Vignale roadster best concept at the Paris Auto Show ..... Wanna kick Scion’s ass? This car could be a suckerpunch."

Did they say "kick Scion's ass"? And "suckerpunch?" My, how very violent. I guess we won't be seeing any of these on the Courtesy Ford lot.

Ooh la la! What a cute little car! Does it come in a very adorable red? Not that I would buy one in Hattiesburg, of course. But the 'Vette was looking a bit dusty this morning.

It is a petit joke, cherie. One does wonder how much business Mr. Mixon has cost himself.

Date: Mar 14, 2005

Many people should write a letter to coporate h.q. of ford; fax it along with the news stories, particularly the latest story that Mixon is now the actual spokesman. I dont think Ford will be too happy to know its name is involved in any sort of p.r. nightmare. Use the template letter found for Coke. It worked. Why do you think Ms. Lares was accused of violence? By the way, if that is written down it is libel.

Even if it was only spoken....

He owes Jameela Lares a HUGE PUBLIC apology. He's lucky she's a devoted Christian and probably wouldn't sue him, but she'd be within her rights to do so.

What did he say about her? I'm from out of town and don't get newspapers with that kind of detail. PLEASE?

He distributed sheets of quotations from this board which supposedly advocated violence and attributed one of the so-called "violent" (and you have to construe the word violence very, very loosely) quotations to her. In fact it was the wrong post, and it wasn't even "violent" at all, and of course everybody who knows JL knows it was a total crock. It was very distressing and frightening for her friends.
