At a news conference today, a spokesman for the nation’s largest magnetic sign association alleged that, “Ford is out to kill the magnetic sign industry with their new aluminum F-150 and someone needs to do something about it.”
Magnetic Sign Guild spokesman Jesus Wang explained that aluminum is nonmagnetic and “those magnificent signs featuring smiling realtors and leafy Herbalife ads just won’t stick to it.”
Wang broke down in tears and had to be led away from the podium, but returned after resting and blowing his nose.

When one reporter asked Wang if an aluminum vehicle would use less fuel than a steel-bodied one, Wang roared, “Well, that don’t matter if all those plumbers and Merry Maids don’t have jobs because their signs don’t stick!”
Asked for comment, Ford spokesperson Chiclet Donahoo stated, “Maybe they could just tape the sign on the truck.”
