Like it wasn't predictable, this sudden attampt at selling off hummers by private individuals... All those people out there buying hummers because... well.. why were they?! Because our government uses them to transport war paraphenelia? Are you kidding...? What a stupid reason.
There must be other reasons... so I took an imaginary poll, for my own selfish reasons, and to satisfy my own little need to type a bit more in the course of my day...
- Because when short drivers who can't see over the hood of these foul machines hit other things (people, cars, dogs, fire hydrants, golf carts) they only feel a slight bump and can say "not guilty, keep driving baby!"
- Because they look cool, like diamonds in a goats ass
- Because, in their perceived fight against that one annoying Nuprin ad ("Little, Yellow, Different"), this is all the hummer owner could come up with for a response ("Big, Yellow, Stupid")
- Because they are exceptionally difficult to park, turn, get into or out of, see out of, see in to, or even generally look at, frankly
- Because they suck up enough oil (read "cause death to innocent humans") on the way to the cell phone lot to keep my oil lantern (if I had one) lit for the rest of my actual and percieved existence, on this plane of existence and so many more
- Because someone else had one, and dammit, hummer owners NEVER think for themselves (this is why assface Bush is STILL in office...)
- Because 'hummer' is easy to remember, articulate and say when describing what they drive, and saying 'Prius' sounds too wussy
- Because the cost of buying maintaining and filling one up makes them feel rich when in fact it drains every resource at their disposal - as well as all their friends too - not to mention myself, you and the globe's resources too (but they would never ever tell their trendy hummer friends that... no way)
Anyhooz....
Here's a cool little grocery shopping bag and some stickers that will help you communicate your dissatisfaction with the trend-idiots wandering around drooling all over things and making the world slippery:
Very Cool Grocery Shopping BagVery Cool Bumper Stickers Have a great day, and don't forget about the old ecological footprint. (Personally my next focus is lessoning my airline travel significantly. Then my vehicle use... Target: End of Summer.)
Be well!
