One Drove Over the Cuckoo's Nest
What’s with the current trend of having those monstrous Humvee vehicles as being the preferred mode of transport by society’s most elite and wealthy? How did these enormous, powerful metallic beasts ever become such a popular status symbol among the rich and stupid in the first place? A fancy stretch limousine, Lear jet, Italian sports car, hell, even riding around piggyback on a midget I would be able to easier understand, sure, but a military vehicle? WTF?
Are they expecting to use it in order to roll over other slower, less financially secure drivers on the Interstate or something? Why not just kit out a WWII Sherman tank and take that baby out for a joyride on the highway commuter lanes instead?
Why would anybody, except maybe the environmental Anti-Christ*, ever need such an extreme rough terrain vehicle when they’re more than likely already living in the lap of urban luxury while Summering at their villa in the rolling hills of white rich Suburbia? I mean, I seriously doubt that there are any obnoxiously fashionable billionaires living in any war zones, are there?
One other thought: what crazy Commander coined the hip term “Hummer” for these macho machines exactly, and was he on Ecstasy at the time? I don’t think I could ever be too comfortable in discussing “Hummers” of any sort in the company of any of my male friends; call me old fashioned. Couldn’t they have come with something more, well, macho? Or even something even a little less gay sounding at least. You would think that with the topics of homosexuals and sexual promiscuity being sore spots in the military these days already, you’d think that they would have been a little more selective and conservative in naming their machines of war, as opposed to something that may cost you only $20 bucks in some back alley somewhere!
