Our Mission:

This campaign is designed to tell the world what we think of those mindless suburban drones who insist on getting 12 mpg while driving their kids to soccer practice. Join us as we direct our social activist energies toward the exciting new sport of Big Game SUV Hunting.

Feel the adrenaline rush of stalking the really big game – like the Denali™, Yukon™, or Tahoe™. Get the thrill of witnessing the tagging of an Excursion™, Expedition™, or Escalade™ with a not-so-subtle message that will leave them scratching their heads.

We are using ridicule and social embarrassment to change the habits of the American consumer. Increasing publicity will turn the SUV from a status trinket to the badge of shame that it is! In the old days, society had a pillory to shame people out of anti-social behavior. Today we have the mighty Bumper Sticker. This brings us to the next issue, publicity.

The idea of this Web site is to stigmatize the insanity of mindless American consumerism and vapid status acquisition. The all too common image of the single commuter, mom on an errand to the local shopping center, or parent taking their kid to softball practice in a bloated gas guzzling behemoth, is enraging those citizens who have a sliver of conscience regarding their lifestyle and the environment.

Now we recognize that some people have a legitimate need for these gas hogs. However, most people don't need the automotive version of the Exxon Valdez to run their daily errands. That leaves 95% of the SUV's on the road which never get dirty or use their 4 wheel drive as fair game.

8. That's awesome!

Do you think Mr. Anderson would sue me if I blew that up and made it into an iron on for a t-shirt?

I would love to wear that and see people reaction's around here!

It would make an awsome t-shirt. Let me know if you do it because I would also like one.
:hi:

Edit: I just emailed Anderson and asked for permission to use it on a T-Shirt. I'll post the reply to this thread if I receive one. Thanks for the idea.
