Dreadful New TV Commercials Criticizing SUV Buyers
I just hate those commercial that are now airing about how the buying of SUV's support terrorists. Apparently, Ariana Huffington, a columnist, saw the recent drug commercials aimed at the casual drug user. The drug commercials trace the money spent on the drugs back to cold-blooded killers in South America. These commercials are very effective. The message is unmistakeable...buying drugs supports killers of innocent people!So, Ms. Huffington gets the idea of using the same copy-cat approach to criticize US buyers of SUVs. These new commercials are objectionable, offensive, mean-spirited, un-American, and completely off-base. How can Ms. Huffington equate the US buyers of SUVs to US drug users? What were she and her supporters thinking? The decision to buy drugs is a daily, often casual decision. The drug buyer can decide at any point in time to "just say no"! Not so with the SUV buyer. Millions of people have already bought their SUVs. Now these stupid commercials are labeling SUV owners Terrorist Supporters! What nerve! What self-righteousness! This makes my blood boil!
I assume Ms. Huffington and her supporters who behind this abusive TV commecial don't care that in these poor economic times people can not just get rid of their SUVs and buy other cars more acceptable to their way of thinking. When have we become a country where the use of these unfair tactics have become accepted by the usually, fair-minded Americans. What about Ms. Huffington and her 9,000 SF air conditioned house? Can't we infer that she also supports terrorists becasue of the excessive fuel used to keep her 9,000 SF house cool? Norman Lear attempted to ask Ms. Huffington about her house. However, she huffingly refused to discuss the issue.
Personally, I dislike SUVs. They take up too much room, block my view, make parking lots unsafe, are gas guzzlers, etc. However, I would not attack owners in such unfair and one-sided ways. How dare Ms. Huffington, her supporters and the makers of the commercials try to make these Americans feel guilt or shame by labeling them Terrorist Supporters.
This is not right.
