PROMINENT PENCIL PERSON IN GIRLY NAME SHAME
Ford has been lightly dipped in controversy this week following a revelation about one of its top designers. The shame surrounds Ford styling supremo J Mays who, sources say, has a very girly name. Most industry watchers assumed the senior pencil twiddler only used an initial because he was crazy and creative. Indeed, this move was seen as a welcome alternative to the usual self-conscious designer fallbacks of nob-endy glasses, crass facial hair or all black outfits that make them look like effete members of the fucking SAS.
In reality it seems Mays is hiding a dark and amusing secret behind that mysterious initial. Insiders say that the lone ‘J’ does not represent free thinking creativity and casual shoes in the workplace as presumed, but in fact stands for ‘Janet’.
“It’s okay, we can handle this,” spoke Ford saidman Red Marlborough, “We weathered the storm when people discovered Henry Ford’s middle name was Susan. Heck, we even got away with it when someone spotted the MkIV Escort was a load of rancid monkey toss.”
