Dear Ford,
Thank you for your new commercial campaign. It opened my eyes to how deeply sensual your products are.
The "Ride It Like a Ford!" commercials, featuring cavorting young women and an (almost!) modern-sounding hip-hop-type song, points out something that should've been obvious: Your automotive products are just plain sexual.
The repeated -- and clever! -- refrain, "Ride it like a Ford! Ride it like a Ford!" reminds me that the Ford Focus, for instance, is the kind of vehicle that summons an aspect of our being that lies at the very core, our sexual nature as humans. And it gets 28 mpg, highway.
Frankly, it took the all-out, in-my-face assault you have launched to remind me that to drive a Ford, perhaps the Taurus wagon, featuring 38 cubic feet of luggage capacity, is strikingly similar to acts pro-creative in nature. As you, along with sexy members of the UAW, joyfully create new Focus hatchback coupes, I also am capable of joyful creation.
Subtlety would not have accomplished this. "Ride It Like a Ford", though, coupled with attractive young females -- that makes the connection. Thanks for just flat-out saying it: We should enjoy your vehicles because, as humans, we also enjoy relating sexually.
Thank you, hot Ford Motor Company.
