Now that Obama and the UAW have taken over The Bankrupt Health Insurance Company Formerly Known As General Motors, some things are starting to happen that you might call strange, weird or bizarre, and as I thumb through my pocket thesaurus, the next synonym is queer:

For a local movie promotion a week ago aimed at gay buyers, General Motors' Chevrolet sponsored an online video on YouTube featuring the "Bumble Bee Boys in Briefs" -- a couple of buff "go-go boys" wearing only Speedo-type swimsuits with the letters CAMARO stitched across the behind. In the video, they are washing a Camaro. . . .
The video was produced to promote Chevrolet Gay Days at the Movies in Los Angeles, part of an ongoing outreach program to minority groups and the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender community. The movie was a screening of the new Transformers movie, chock full of GM vehicles including Bumblebee, a Camaro. . . .

"Chevrolet Gay Days"? So as not to be accused of despicable bigotry against LGBT/GM, I've decided to celebrate Chevrolet Gay Days 365 days a year -- starting today:

"We're here! We're queer! We're driving Chevy!"

Don't call it a "lifestyle choice" -- Chevy drivers were born that way.
