Paper says Ford initially happy when rap star wanted new Ford for video, but lyrics raised concerns.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Ford Motor Co. is ending a newly formed relationship with rapper Eminem, according to a published report.

It never should have gotten to a marriage to begin with, one would think. I mean "lyrics raised concerns..."? Like that's news with this loser? What planet have they been on for the past 5 years?

A textbook example of corporate divorce from reality.

I mean, even the folks who like this guy have got to admit he's way too much of a potty mouth to be an ad spokesman.
