Your New, Innovative 2007 Dodge Homophoba!!

"So there’s been some debate raging back ‘n’ forth as to whether Dodge’s “Too Tough” ad for the Caliber is homophobic or not. “Warum?” the Deutsch among you may ask? Well, it has to do with a fairy who likes to make things cute and dreamy. (The fairy, by the way, is mad hot — dear Fairy Actress, simply e-mail us and we’ll buy you dinner, take you out for a night on the town and show you how roomy the back of our Dodge is with the seats folded down.)"

1. their new models better have magic powers...
DODGE is a warning, not a brand name.

DODGE SUCKS -- cars to trucks. Horrible service, lousy mileage, built to fall apart.

2. Interesting. I didnt realize it was an anti-gay ad
I've seen it a few times but the gay bashing angle wasnt apparent to me.

3. may I ask.....
did you see the original or edited version....

in the original, the fairy hits the wall and the guy walking by with the dogs laughs and sneers "silly fairy" before she transforms him in to the "metrosexual"

the "silly fairy" line was edited.

4. I must have seen the edited version
I don't recall the "silly fairy" dialog.

The "silly fairy" line while not overly overt, certainly does have illusions towards homophobia.
