Conservatives Just Found An Old Ad For An LGBTQ+ Ford Pickup Truck—And They Lost It
Ford

Ford has now joined the list of 'woke' companies over an ad from June of 2022 featuring a Ford Ranger Raptor painted with the colors of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag.

Conservatives—fresh off a boycott of Bud Light and at the early stages of targeting Miller Lite and Target and Starbucks—found yet another reason to clutch their pearls. Unknown to them, another of their beloved brands—Ford Motor Company—has been "woke" for years and they are not happy.

An advertisement from Ford in June 2022 resurfaced.


In it, two Ford Raptors race across a muddy landscape, taking different paths. One is revealed to be a shade of red.

The other? The other charges gloriously through a puddle and off of a jump, winning the race with a custom pride flag paint job.

At the end, the two trucks join up together in harmony.

It's not a subtle ad, to be sure.

It's driving conservatives ballistic.



Being as no one in the LGBTQ+ community is making anyone buy a Ford, the hysteria is a bit much.

Plus, Ford is a company that sells to, well, anyone.



Then people engaged in the time-honored tradition of trying to figure out what car people in the LGBTQ+ community actually drive.



But in all seriousness, this type of outsized outrage seems to be coming at quite a clip these days.

It's almost like they face no real adversity so they have to create their own "oppression."

It seems unlikely we will see people trashing their $90,000 trucks like we did with people filming themselves pouring out—or shooting—their Bud Lights.

A Clip Of Robert Pattinson From 'The Odyssey' Is Going Viral—And The Memes Are Too Good

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey has taken over social media as people discuss the movie's best moments, Nolan's hatred of CGI, the unique soundtrack, and even people rediscovering classic literature.

But one of the funniest things to come out of all of the discourse around the film has to be people's discussion of Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Antinous, the foremost suitor of Anne Hathaway’s Penelope. Antinous was, at best, a cowardly bully of a character who had no nerve when it was time to prove himself.
