Hummers AREN'T shameful…!

This is brilliant. I have stumbled on an extreme of human idiocy. This guy has a website running that has the sole aim of ridding the streets of the coolest SUV available. Now I love ‘hummers’, but the vehicles are pretty cool to. This is what his site advocates:

“This is your chance to intelligently object to them. Hummers, Humvees, H2, H3 and whatever they roll out with next have no place in logical and socially-conscious suburban society, and this is how we should express this disparity: GO DOWN ON A HUMMER”

“Take pictures of yourselves or your friends giving a Hummer the thumbs-down sign, and email them to me. We'll build up a library of these thumbs-down pictures and maybe, just maybe...change the world.”

He argues that giving a passing by hummer the ‘bird’ has no ‘intelligent’ purpose and one should rather take a picture with your capsized thumb in view. Come the fuck on. That is so pathetic. Is this really the most intelligent objection you can muster? These are his reasons:

“For all these reasons and more, give a Hummer a thumbs-down:
• Disgustingly poor gas mileage (10 to 15 mpg)
• Never used as marketed (You'll rarely see more than one person in a Hummer, they're always car-wash clean, and they're never hauling cargo)
• Dangerous to other cars because drivers aren't aware of the size of their vehicle
• Opulence and materialism is a plague of society, not a hallmark
To all HUMMER owners: we're not poor jealous hippies. We're intelligent and often well-salaried human beings who understand that what you're doing is wrong.”

Fair enough they suck non-renewable resources like a tank and they do contribute more toxic emissions than your average family sedan, but unless you drive a Toyota Prius who the fuck are you to criticize these vehicular behemoths. I love the reasons 2 and 3 though. What ‘logical and intelligent’ argument can you create about something because it isn’t used for purpose it is marketed, and how an owner has the ability to have the resources to be opulent but not the powers of perception to notice how big a Hummer is. They're pretty damn big, you can really misjudge that.


What a twat. Hummers are rockstarish… I say GO DOWN FOR A HUMMER.

FYI: The third addition to the family H3, is being produced in our very own Queenstown, EC. Cool huh?
