Grit, Guts, & Glorious Winners

I was just driving to the store, listening to the New York v. Boston game. A-Rod was doing something or other, I don’t know, it was Yankees v. Red Sox. Who the fuck cares? If I really wanted that kind of douchefest, I would watch Baseball Tonight.

Anyhow, the game cut to commercial and I heard a very convincing car advertisement. It was a Hummer H3 ad. The ad spoke about all the great features of the Hummer, cash-lubricated transmission and poor person/minority repellent in the exhaust, but those weren’t the compelling part.

No, the thing that made me decide to make an illegal U-turn and buy a Hummer at that moment was something said near the end of the advertisement. The ad noted the drive for the need to have a Hummer in your driveway and on your all-terrain trips to the corner store: the ability of the Hummer to move you to the exotic, hard to reach destination of the Appalachian Mountains.
