But seriously- thanks for pointing it out.
As the deficit continues to grow and endanger the economy, you folks currently assembling (or putting off assembling, if you are anything like your humble blogger) your data for your 2004 returns will be pleased to note that your tax dollars are currently financing, (along with other inanities like a non-functional missile "defense" program and a war on terminally ill people in pain and cancer-ridden pot smokers) a "public service" ad campaign designed obstensibly to encourage safety among SUV drivers-- but that really amounts to a 30 second AD for the god-damn things... including an over-the-top sexualized glorification of how, and this is a fucking quote, here..."SUVs are Big.. and powerful... and on top of one, you feel almost invincible.. ...Now, that's good..."
Got that? Your government is not only giving people tax breaks for buying these automotive travesties, they are telling people that they will compensate for their puny manhood... and that it's good that they feel 10 times more poweful than god by threatening other drivers with their oversized, gas-guzzling shit-mobiles.
No, I am not making this up.
Check Out The Site and Then Watch The commercial.
They are right about one thing, although perhaps unintentionally... SUVs are big, blundering, smelly, ugly beasts, as often as not found accompanied by low-i.q. redneck morons.
But the best part of the "public service" message is that the "safety" aspect is directed entirely and solely at preventing rollovers- i.e. saving the ass of a shitbrained, out of control SUV driver. There is no mention of the fact that maybe, say, these assholes might be sharing the public roads with other, smaller vehicles, many carrying small children for example-- and maybe those folks "ridin' the wild esuvee" ought to drive like human beings and not rodeo clowns.... for those people's sake, as well as their own.
A perfect message for Bush's "Values" constituency. Other people don't matter, just you-- and your 8 mpg penis substitute. Ride 'em, cowboy.
