Dum-Dems: SUV = Terror.....?!?!?!?!

[Skyjack666]

So, if driving an SUV is supporting terrorism because the SUV gets less miles per gallon, why did they leave out these activities??????

- Nascar wastes 200,000 gallons per race = terror
- so does Grand Prix = terror
- driving to grandma's house instead of taking the bus = terror
- taking the 'scenic' route home = terror
- how about pleasure boats? = terror
- going to an air show = terror
- changing your engine oil too often = terror
- weraing contact lenses (made from oil) = terror
- using Vaseline (sorry boys) = terror
- buying milk in plastic containers instead of paper = terror (they will have a tough time with this one because they also don't want you to use paper products)
- in some regions, turning on a light switch = terror
(oil-burning for electricity)
- in fact, just sitting there reading this you could be supporting terror

They just hate SUVs, methinks. So they attempt to use the raw 'terror' nerve to forward their agenda. It proves that the liberals want everyone dumb and dependant and reliant on THEM. In fact, years ago they wanted to weaken the structures on SUVs to make it more fair in a crash...LOL! Why not strengthen other cars to help them stand up???

It is so typical of them to want to bring down an average instead of raise it up to a higher standard. God forbid someone should have a bigger, fancier car than someone else....sheeesh!

Please everyone add other activities to this list...

I don't think people should drive SUVs if they don't need one, as it is bad for the environment and increases our reliance on foreign oil.

I thought it was just a spoof on the silly drugs=terror ads.

Anyway, why do you use so many question marks?

Wow......I agree

I think what you are failing to realize is exactly what Shi pointed out. Doing those events you listed doesn't come close to equaling the amount of gas that is used by the millions of SUV's in the US. Actually, speaking of the drugs=terror, I bet more oil money (via Saudis) gets funneled to terror than drug money. But then again, its much easier to attack someones drug use than to admit that your gas guzzling POS is bad. It's good old American Hypocrisy.

In all honesty, I think the whole SUV=terror thing is a stretch... less of a stretch than the drug=terror bit. If Bush, Drug Fuerher Asa Hutchinsin, and the rest of their crew stop their silly drug=terror program and admit it was stupid. Then I think this new marketing campaign should do the same. Until then, carry on!

Skyjack666, methinks, is a DL. And probably a Rush Limbaugh listener

Wearing contact lenses and Formula 1 racing increases reliance on foreign oil as well. What's your point evil plastic user!?!

Its a question of scale. Are SUV the biggest unneccessary consumer of oil products? If yes, they are the valid target.

All you SUV whiners can K*** M* A**
My wife and BOTH own SUV's. It's makes us feel safer driving in the winter in Chicago. Neither of us has been in a winter accident since.
We also bought a smaller more expensive house close to where we work. So combined, we use less gas than our neighbor with his high MPG car that commutes all the way into the city. SO all you people that automatically condemn anyone that uses an SUV to be a gas guzzler, can K*** M* A**.

Unless they were mutually exclusive options that doesn't justify owning an SUV on net gas-guzzling ground. Fact is, if you bought a small safe fuel efficient car, then you'd be less of a gas-guzzler.

Ideally (from an environment point of view) you'd live near your workplace and have a fuel efficient car.

I don't how people drive in snow in Chicago in the snow (probably a lot better) but in Baltimore people in SUV's have to be the biggest morons during winter driving. There's nothing more scary then having some moron driving across an icy bridge at 80 mph because they think that 4 wheel drive will somehow magically cause they're wheels to grip.

Rah, this ad campaign is not a blanket generalization about every single individual SUV owner. It's about the rich yuppies speeding around in their Lincoln Navigators and Hummers. In fact, I applaud you for your environmentally conscious decision to live closer to your work.

My mom drives a Toyota Highlander for the same reasons . Anyways, hopefully this will shed light on why so many people were offended by that stupid anti-drug campaign. Not everyone fits the "profile".

[Sava]

Now that you guys mention stupid 4ss SUV drivers in the snow.... I used to deliver pizzas in Naperville (SW Chicago suburb) and every snow there would be countless SUV's in the ditches from people who think that their SUV gives them a ticket to drive like an idiot in the snow.

Gievn how much the Saudis and other gulf states have invested in US corporations, and in theory, how much they make when these companies are profitable, I bet most activities in the US "fund terror". Hell, the huge tax cut on dividends: how much will go to foregin (perhaps Saudi) investors!!?? Bush Tax Cut = TERROR!

New TV adds: this is the boy who voted, this is the pol he elected, this is the pol's campaign contributor, this is the contributors employeer, and this is the saudi man who invested in the company, that payed the contributor, that gave to the pol, that the boy elected...

DEMOCRACY = TERRORISM.

Think about that.

This whole thing was started by Arianna Huffington (most recent column on the topic available over at Salon.com, http://www.salon.com/opinion/huffing...suv/index.html). While the ads engage in a bit of hyperbole to make a point (and which ads don't?) the central point is valid: due to SUVs this nation consumes a million more gallons of gas each day than it would if everyone who drove an SUV drove a fuel-efficient car. Please don't try to tell me that has no effect on our national security.
