Default Fords Marketing Chief has Harsh Words for GM

Check out Demon 340's homepage article about Ford marketing chief Jim Farley's F-bomb! So what do you think? Is Jim Farley a guy you'd like to have working for you? Or should a marketing man play it a little closer to the vest?

Not the best tactic but I'm sure the feeling is mutual, lol.

But mainly, I have more of a problem of GM being bailed out with our money than a Ford marketing chief telling them to f*** off.

It definitely lacks class. And though I have no problem with someone holding their own opinions of compedators, it's not something that someone in such a position should be saying for all to hear.

Finally!! Someone with ***** enough to say what he feels. In this PC world we live in now everyone is told play nice, you can't say this or that and everyone gets a trophy for participating. What a bunch of crap.
Jim Farley is just heating up a good old fashioned rivalry and "keepin it real". Good for him.

Obviously both marketing chiefs for GM and Ford will not have a cup of coffee together, but I think the dude could have said "**** GM" another way instead of putting it so blunt. Were this some moron who was not held to a higher professional position then I could not care less but this dude is one of the top dogs, right? Should have said it a different way IMO.

This isn't the 1950's. People need to man-up and deal with all those naughty words that so many "uncouth" people seem to adore saying.

That's right!
I say joke 'em if they can't take a f***.

Maybe if we were to see the behind the scene context, we would understand the open calling from the guy...
Hey, He's definitely OT material.
