What do y'all think of the "Big Race" commercial

[DennisAJC]

Alec,

You've gone overboard with this.

If this is how you feel FINE. TURN OFF your T.V. because unless you watch the Knitting Channel, it's all bad. Give your panties a ****ing twist.

If you're so ADAMANT about damaging NATURE and misleading messages...SELL your H2. Because you can't be on both sides.

Irresposible off-roaders damaging nature, yet you will easily over-look the fact that you drive an H2 every eviro-freak deams a polluter?


Yes insults are now merrited for you because reason is a gray area for your kind.

Here is my guage on you...

1. You tread the trails resonsibly(GREAT, fine)
and you bash irresonsibility(GREAT, fine again)
ALL for the sake of nature. Yet you know you drive an H2 and it's purpose to go anywhere, it's gas mileage, it's noteriety with Envirofreaks, the statement of driving one.

That "someone" must have a great set of hoo hoos.

The 4x4 community is a MINORITY. We are getting bashed by every Envirofreak out there.
Your opinion or belief is HALF WAY,sort of gray. It's called hypocracy.

I gotta say, I never expected this poll to elicit feelings like these on this board. Having said that, I agree with Detonate
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>I really don't even see the comparison in the commercial to real life. I mean we have a cardboard box driven by a kid in a neighborhood to a Man in 6,500 lbs vehicle in the mountains.

I don't think that this ad really teaches irresponsible offroading, but I also don't see how it encourages RESPONSIBLEoffroading either. Is it the place of Hummer or GM to encouage responsible offroad behavior in their ads? I don't see that as the case. I see that GM provides the vehicle, and we as owners (OK, I'm not a Hummer owner yet, but I do own cars) are responsible for our actions after we purchase the vehicle. Remember, we did have a choice in what we bought, unlike in communist country where they had to buy whatever brand the state provided.

It is also our responsibility as responsible offroad drivers to teach trail ettiquite to those less experienced and to those who use the trails badly. I have reported people to the game warden when I see them keeping fish in a catch and release stream, and I royally chewed out a guy that I caught jacklighting deer before I had the Fish and Game cops come get him. I don't do that because of Winchester's advertising, but because of outdoorsman ettiquite that I learned when I was a kid.

Ok, no more soap box time from me. Next!

To Forum Friends,

Yes I'm a spaz but come on! A commercial?!?!?!
I love it but I'm stupid not to see the misleading messages?

There is a reason why we don't live in a third world country, like it or not, it's full of smart people and "These" people.

"These" people preach about OIL DRILLING in Alaska is wrong and bad for nature, yet they fill up their tanks every week(or every 3rd day in my case).

"These" people Scream about CLEAR CUTTING forests is bad for nature, yet the following weekend they are shopping for a dinette set.

"These" people don't let their kids watch MISLEADING H2 commercials yet they scream with glee when the Coyote tries to drop that anvil on poor Road Runner.

"These" people say PORNOGRAPHY is a sin yet they enjoy it behind closed doors with a bag of chips.

Hey, nobody is perfect. I enjoy my Doritos and Porn once in awhile. But be one or the other. Don't be "These" people.

Bottom line it's a cool commercial, but we know better.

One last thing though Dennis, if you consider me to be one of "those" people as you refer to them, f off.

Hope there is no dip for those chips

All I'm saying is that it's just a commercial!
It's a fun commercial! Of course we all want the same thing. I'm sure most of us here respect the trails and abide by the rules.

I've done 7 years of off road trails in my Jeep
(2 days in the H2).

It still stands, but I won't hold back just because.

I agree with detonate on this one. It's just a commercial. People who see something on TV and think it is real like that and go out and do it need to be shot. It's just a bloody commercial. People that are lacking in common sense enough to trashing trails because they saw a kid in a cardboard car do it have to be extremely rare. Are you guys that think this commercial leads to irresponsible offroading the same people that think the TV images and video games are why kids shoot up schools and commit other violent crimes? It's bad parenting, not those images. If an offroader goes in a mud bog instead of the trail, it's because he wasn't taught better, not because he saw a Hummer or Jeep or Honda commercial. I tried to stay out of this, but it is just getting absurd. I think Dennis went a bit far, but oh well, it's Dennis, he does that. Especially to trolls. Like Moojoobir

Alec,

You are definately not a Troll. Respected member of the Forum. But hey!

A simple, innocent, fun commercial like this with all the extreme smutt out there, you rain on it like it was UNPRECIDENTED material???
Makes you look like some religious fanatic.

Your flame proof vest must be made of nylon.

A little dissappointed in you since I do follow your posts. But don't expect everyone to blow sunshine up your butt.

And I like Doritos, not chips.

OK Alec, truce.

Went to the doctor to ask why my penis was orange. It seemed to occure only during weekends.

Doctor was baffled and asked my what I do on weekends.

I told him watch porn and eat Doritos nachos.
(My wife just smacked me in the head.)
