So a guy's checking out of the grocery store with a conveyer belt full of vegtables and tofu. So far so good. The guy behind him has a half a dead cow on the belt. Fine. BUT! The vegan guy, feeling emasculated, cowardly goes out and buys a Hummer H3. (I highly doubt it.) The tag line is “Restore your manhood.” Don't they make pumps for that?
This can't really work. They can't really sway or con health / environmentally concious people into buying gas guzzling, polluting, military overcompensations can they? I think it's just more psychological warfare from the egomaniacs against the forward thinking wisdom of the sound minded.
Now I eat meat and I draw SUVs, but that doesn't mean don't I feel guilty about it. Why doesn't the carnivore go buy a bicycle? Good luck GM, I hope that works out for you. F***ing kooks...
Build my AUTOnomy and we'll talk. Until then, shut up and stop trying to make murder look cool!

Guzzling the gas and overcompensating militarily makes many Americans feel like their their country is the greatest. Completing the logical loop of his argument, Hummer H3s sell really well, therefore Americans have really small f**cking kooks.
Look at it this way if climate change and war kill tonnes of people GM will have no customers so LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE ITS ALL GOOD
Advertising does not try to make those who don't want the product buy it, but those leaning toward it fall over the edge, and those who've already bought it feel good about their decision so they'll buy another.
"Restore your Manhood" calls to those who feel they've never lost it or those who feel in danger that they will.
BTW, vegetarianism is no guarantee of a life-affirming nature. Hitler was a vegetarian.
Well if Hitler was a vegitarian then I better eat some meat!
Who's more evil? The Nazis or people like George W. Bush's grandfather Prescott who helped finance them?
I showed this to my friend and here's what he had to say: "The H3 add... Yeah, i feel like a frickin patchouli-junky saying this, but i just can't stop myself from spitting on those pieces of s when i see them. It's not that i think they're the most evil contraptions out there, it's just the principle behind it, the huge, mutated ego. But no, the add isn't going to sway any conscious person into shutting off their brain and driving an inefficient, unreliable bloated piece of hog-s. If the guy with the tofu cared, he would never have gone there in the first place. So why would Hummer pick the least likely person to market a Hummer to? He's just the ad's diversionary tactic. It's really aimed at the dude with the meat, but they don't want to tell THAT dude that he's got insecurities. So they pretend that it's the geeky tofu-eater, as if he gave a f about an H3. Displaced insecurity. Kind of clever."
