Have you SEEN the latest Hummer tv ad???

[Rick Myers]

Kid being driven to school by soccer mom, pulls up with tough guys hangin' by the school door. Kid gives mom pensive look, then gets out and walks past the 'bad kids.' Bad kids all lookup to mom in awe and say 'nice ride.' Reveal the Hummer!!!

What's the message? If you buy a Hummer, your sissy kid will get respect at school? This is 'safety' in 2004???

:wtf:

1. Marilyn Manson said it best

Fear and consumption, fear and consumption....

7. Funny you would bring up Brian Warner...

(wink)

2. Yeah, I saw that...

Love your description of it, though. ;-)

3. That commercial just about made me puke.

The ultimate consumer message: you are a better and more respected person the more you engage in conspicuous consumption.

What's sad is that the commercial probably comes pretty close to approximating reality.

4. Again, you hit the nail on the head!

I've got to get TiVo - I can't stand the ads anymore. The political ones almost drive me into a frothing rage, but the Hummer ones are up there too! :D

5. I wish...

they had a big red, white and blue hummer ...that would be sweet!

9. I'm sure they'd custom paint one for you!!!

The Army had a custom one at the county fair this year. Big ass stereo, 3 LCD screens for the DVD... Jeebus!!!

6. "let's car-jack THAT one..."

seems about as likely

10. Current Galves wholesale values for HumJobs

2003 is worth $36,500 for the $55,000 land yacht. At 8 mpg and a 50 gal tank, bet those dickless wonders are asking themselves what were they thinking about.

Around here, all these short women drive them hanging onto and looking over the steering wheel.

Paranoia for the thugly crowd.

And they are slow as shit too.
