schwarzenegger is gonna be gutted



GM failing to sell the Hummer brand to a Chinese car manufacturer has called it a day on this monolith of excess and I, for one, am gutted. Hummer excelled at nothing; ugly, unreliable, expensive, and pretty much unusable on any road anywhere, however they were BIG and I liked that. Size isn't everything, however these things are so big you can see/hear/smell/feel/taste(?) them coming for miles and this always made me feel safe in the knowledge that I could quickly and accurately identify my nearest fucknut. Only an ungodly wanker would ever be seen dead in a Hummer, let alone be driving one, so you can be damn sure that if you can see a Hummer you're close to an oxygen thief of monumental proportions. For example the celebrity endorsements of Hummer reads like a Who's Who list of people I'd like to see contract and intestinal worm: Paris Hilton, Chris Eubank, Mike Tyson, Wyclef Jean, Coolio... The advantage of Hummer was that the bottom feeders of society were quickly identified and self-ostracised, now they could be anywhere, in any number of smaller and slightly less obnoxious cars. No longer can they be identified with such ease and stabbing accuracy. RIP Hummer.
