Hummers always lead to wank, don't they?
Over in Sensible Erection (often NWS), someone posts an article about a guy who bought a Hummer, only to find it vandalized as an obvious "blow for the environment."

All hell breaks loose, to the tune of over 300 comments. Debates on the environment flare up, the rule "thou shalt not mess with thy neighbor's ride" is graven into stone, and everyone who owns even a relatively fuel-efficient car is told to fear vegan bicyclist vandals, who would surely be as justified in such vandalism as these guys were. And that's the sane discussion! (Look for any post by the user Tamp if you want to see the not-so-sane discussion.)

SE doesn't really have the means to link to individual threads in the post, so I can't really point to individual wanks, but the whole damned post is a big sticky mess.


(Firefox users who want to try to follow all the debates -- you poor, crazy fools -- will probably find this Greasemonkey script very helpful. I recommend unchecking the option "Show controls to jump to new comments," though, because it will make the page wicked slow.)

I heard about this guy on the news the other day.

Everyone connected with this - both the guy who got the Hummer and the guys who trashed it -- are complete dicksmacks.

To quote Terry Pratchett (I think), it's like watching a wasp fight a stinging nettle. One of the two is gonna get stung -- who cares which one?

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

Oh FFS. If they were going to trash his car, they could have at least spelled the entire word. Lazy-ass vandals.

No, no. They're not lazy. They're energy conservative.

Why didn't they just conserve even more energy and talk about doing it instead of going through with it?

Because then they wouldn't be assholes, which would considerably lower their living standards (in their opinion). Kinda like the guys who drives hummers, I guess.

You post a link for a site called "sensible erection" and then point out it's not entirely work safe, and then you say he bought a hummer.

I can't be the only one whose immediate thought was he'd gone to a hooker for a blow job, can I? My mind completely derailed at finding it vandalized...

I wish I could have an opinion on this, but my dad just bought an Escalade, and it is sweet.

Is there a term for what happens when you try to go, "HA HA" and facepalm at the same time?

I could never own a Hummer, if only because of the embarrassing name.

My sense of humour is a 12 year old boy. I giggle every time I see the word "hummer".

I saw a shiny white hummer in a parking lot the other day. Part of me imagined pulling out a sharpie and writing I DRIVE THIS CAR TO COMPENSATE FOR MY TINY PENIS on the hood, in backwards letters so it would show up in peoples' rearview mirrors. But the rest of me knew that doing so would be redundant.

"Hello, sir, I have a tiny penis."
"So you're... looking to buy an SUV."
"No, I don't think you understand the size of my penis. It's miniscule. Microscopic."
"Ah, so you'll be wanting the Hummer H2."

Hee. When I went to SCAD, there was this guy who had the ultimate compensation truck. Paid for by insurance money that was supposed to go to his tuition. From his dad's unfortunate demise in a construction accident. Yeah, we mocked him hard. I think he wound up flunking out of the school after only one quarter.

You know, I totally read that as "Humans always lead to wank, don't they?" and went, Yup, mm-hmmm, they sure do...

Wow. Tamp is about as tl;dr as they come. I actually found his little rants amusing!

Though I do like the free public transit thing. It's at least not totally divorced from reality.

... dude, that's literally 5 blocks from my house. Somehow I am betting that it was kids from the local high school.
