American Idiot of the Day

Postby Rspaight » Mon Jul 09, 2007 4:16 pm

From http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/06/fa.cri ... index.html

Cristian Crespo of Valley Village, California, said he found it ridiculous that automakers hadn't yet come up with a way to combine fuel efficiency with luxury provided by a SUV.

"It's not that Americans don't want to be environmentally friendly, it's just that we don't have much of a choice," he wrote. "As an SUV driver, telling me that my only alternative is a Toyota Prius or a Honda Civic is like telling me to eat beef jerky when I'm used to filet mignon."


Poor baby. He has NO CHOICE but to drive an SUV.

I don't hate America. America hates me.

Much as one of the advantages of sickle-cell anemia is increased resistance to malaria, one of the advantages of the condition known as obstinate homosexuality is a pathological inability to understand why the fuck the rest of the world (crazy soccer moms included) is so incredibly, psychotically obsessed with cars.

I'd drive something shaped like a foot and painted phosphorescent lime green if it played CDs and got 70 miles to the gallon.

Speak for yourself. I know plenty of car-obsessed homos.

That, combined with your hypothetical green foot-shaped vehicle, is pretty disturbing.
