Ford Loss: That's A Spicy Meatball!

Reason_for_ford_lossAutoblog reports: Ford burns $12.7 BILLION in 2006!

Jalopnik reports: Breaking The Bank! Ford Leaks Money Like A Sieve In 2006, Reports Net Loss Of $12.7 Billion.

(Scene, Ford Boardroom, August 2005)
Ford CEO Bill Ford: Yes, that's right. 600 feet by 50 feet by 40 feet. Same recipe. OK, thanks.

(Scene, Ford Boardroom, September 2006)
Ford CEO Alan Mulally: What the hell is this? Who ordered this?

(Scene, Ford compound, Novemeber 2006)
Bill Ford (jumping up and down with excitement): My enormous Twinkie is here, my enormous Twinkie is here!

Oh, blah, blah, blah, so Ford operations lost a million dollars. Twelve thousand times. We all know it's the Union's fault. Speaking of which: The Detroit News reports: Talk of Ford exec bonuses riles UAW. Ha!

Is it legal to mix meatballs and Twinkies in a post?

Yeah, stick with 1 food metaphor per post please, especially before lunch. I think you might even get more clicks with a "Ford Loss: A Big Twinkie". I like your breakdown of 1M x 12k maybe you could even break it down in terms of F150s. What is that like only three hundred thousand F150s? How about a Toyota jab too, kick a man while he's down.
