  Does "Hummer Owner" Really equal "***hole?" Is it just me, or does everyone think that anyone who owns a Hummer is a complete, self-absorbed, idiot? I mean, I don't begrudge them their money - they can drive a Jaguar, a Rolls, a Bentley - Hell I don't really care! It's just that whenever I see a Hummer, I immediately think "teeny weeny peeny." It's just something about that vehicle's complete ugliness, it's out-of-place-ness... like I have no problem with a Hummer in Afghanistan or Iraq (well, that would be leaving all political and philosophical problems aside...) but I think you get the picture. And where do you see these jerks? Trying to fit their 14 foot wide, 4 foot tall monstrosities into the Starbuck's parking lot, of course.And hey, what's the miles per gallon on that thing? Or is it measured in gallons per mile? Oh, I know it doesn't matter to you, lord knows, anyone who can spend $70,000 on an ugly tank isn't going to worry about a $250 per week gasoline bill. I was just think of the ecology, the economy, the message to the rest of the world, the homeless... Oh silly me, I forgot who I was talking to. Then again, at least it is an incredible display of excess wealth; much better than when the rich were in stealth mode; remember the 90's? When the richer you were, the more places you could go in a crummy sweatsuit and a beat-up baseball cap? Well, those times are over, my private banking friend. Now you once again have to flaunt it in a bizarre and obtrusive form. And the colors! Good lord, shades we haven't seen since the Lange Ski Boot company came to their senses. If you would buy such an expensive form of locomotion, why would you want it to be orange? Or maybe I forgot the point - I forgot that "ugly" is the new "pretty!" Is it comfortable inside? It looks like your kidneys would bleed if you took the thing over a railroad crossing. Does it fit in your garage? We've gone through all kinds of wealth-fashion fads: surgery scrubs, cellphones, the aforementioned sweatsuit era. How are we going to top Hummer? I've got it. Haz-mat wear. And farm vehicles! Rich people in orange and yellow vulcanized rubber suits, with latex seals around their wrists and necks! Yeah! On the teensy-weensy cellphone, on his way out of The Palm: "Yes, Henri - have Paulo bring the John Deere around." © 2002-2008 Rob Falk, All Rights Reserved. All Wrongs Denied.
