The Ultimate In Manhood Compensation...

I saw a yellow Hummer today. I loathe Hummers, they are one of if not THE worst fuel emmissions vehicles in the world. Not only that but the Hummer is supposedly an all-terrain vehicle of sorts, yet the only people I've seen driving them are middle aged men wearing ties and rappers, both of whom I seriously doubt EVER take it camping or into areas of rough terrain. Hummers are also obnoxious in color, usually it's yellow, orange, red or some other "look at me" color. The Hummer is simply a way for middle aged bussiness men and celebrities to show off, it's a showcase for their status. Meanwhile, thousands are dying in Iraq so they can rapidly piss away our fuel resources. How American. Doesn't every person come to the point where it's just ridiculous? The true purpose of the Hummer was to serve as a military vehicle. People seem to care more about social status and perception than the fact that Hummers are terrible for the environment. Not only that, but Hummers do not have to meet the fuel emmision standards because they weigh in at over 8,500 lbs. and are considered military vehicles by the goverment, though a much flashier, image-based version of the origional Hummers. Most people don't even know that bussiness owners are compensated for owning Hummers, they can deduct half the price of their Hummers from their taxes. Hummer owners who are in the top tax bracket also receive an extra $10,000 back from their taxes. So in escence the goverment is paying Hummer owners to help destroy our planet. It especially fascinates me that people are still buying Hummers when they have clearly become the mainstream symbol for manhood compensation. So thank you to the wealthy, status-oriented, small-penises of America for gracing us with their presence in neon colored Hummers everywhere...
