New Hummer commercial

Post by ChristianLoeschel »

So I was watching football today, and during one of the (decidedly too many) commercial breaks, Hummer advertised their new, redone H3 in a commercial showing a guy trying to perform some magical trick on the SUV as it pulls into a gas station.
The guy in the background says "They said it couldnt be done! Its not magic! The new H3 now gets 20 mpg"

Let me get this straight...they are PROUD of advertising this things fuel inefficieny and somehow try to pass off 20 mpg as even REMOTELY decent?!?!?!

and that's the BEST it can do, and only if you're on the highway with no traffic and only one person in the car at 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

Hummers have gotten to be kind of a joke - like the Corvette was in the late 80s/early 90s - its for men who need to compensate for other things they lack, including but not limited to physical imperfections or a personality.

Unfortunately not enough of a joke to make people quit buying/driving them. Hummers are the Harleys of this generation, but not as easy to park.
