nicely put

greenpeace has an ad.

surprisingly, it's very similar to a HUMMER ad which i saw in slc when i had TV for a weekend.

the ad went like so:

a dude is in the checkout line at the grocery store. he's buying several pounds of vegetables and tofu. the tofu isn't scanning properly. sheepishly, he looks at the customer behind him. another dude. the second dude is buying several tons of uncooked red meat. then a slogan flashes across the screen, something like "RECAPTURE YOUR MANHOOD" and we see the "wimpy vegetarian" driving around in his humongous h1/2/3.

the message of the ad was so subversively clear i could not believe it was not a joke. it was, of course, what everyone's been saying about for-show monster-truck drivers for... ever, and about h2 drivers since the h2 arrived.

"GOT A TINY PENIS? BUY A BIG TRUCK!!"

i could not believe GM thought such an ad would do aught but cause potential buyers to hang their heads in shame, perhaps, if they were lucky, catching a glimpse of their penises and deciding that perhaps they aren't shriveled enough to warrant an 8mpg vehicle.

but i still keep on seeing new h2/h3s on the road so i guess the "quest for manhood" continues. good luck to you. wankers.
