Gay groups ask Ford to reinstate advertising. Ford denies AFA had any relationship to decision to pull ads from gay publications.
AmericaBlog: “Anyway, the bottom line…is that the groups told Ford what they want, and Ford said they’d get back to the groups in the next 24-48 hours. I don’t want to break any confidences here, but suffice it to say I’m satisfied with what I hear the groups supposedly said at the meeting and am awaiting Ford’s response.”
Moby has some tough words for Eminem after impersonator murders woman: “If a musician made a record wherein he talked about killing blacks and Jews would he get covered in the press and played on radio and MTV? If the answer is ‘no’ (as it should be), then why is radio and MTV filled with music that has lyrics about killing and brutalizing women and gays? Any employee of a record company or journalist or radio programmer or MTV employee who has promoted and celebrated misogynistic or homophobic music should be ashamed. You have blood on your hands, and you should be deeply, deeply troubled at the culture that you’ve helped to create.”
