Thumbs down Ford: Stupidity is Job # 1

Sorry I need to post here..... Something comes along every once in awhile that is so stupid, it needs full internet coverage to ensure the small minded idiots get exposed like cockroaches.

In a time when the company is suffering, let's alienate the one of the few groups of customers who have stuck by Ford!

Great job Ford!

Just when I was getting excited about their new twin turbo V6, they pull this stunt. Oh well, scratch Ford off the list of moderate price cars and SUV's for my wife.

Some companies are just retarded... There is a reason they suck so much, they put their resources in the wrong places.

Why would anyone buy a Ford. Even their trucks suck now.

Who's in line to buy a hybrid Mustang??

The capitalized letters spell "repost" a tired, old forum gag that is beloved of post-whores.

Apparently, it all got resolved in the end and Ford let them do it. But it makes you wonder how much free time the people at ford have on their hands if they have the time to get in that mess and get themselves out of it.
