"Finally a commercial that tells the truth!

That was my initial reaction to seeing one of the new Hummer ads that lets people know its product will help them compensate for being inadequate."

hummers are compensation devices that's all.  what i think iks really funny is that VW is doing the exact opposite of that type of advertising with their "Low Ego Emissions" commercials.  the passat couple, escalade, and the giant pickup guy is pretty funny.  i think ford did it too with the focus a while back, the kid in the blinged out suv couldn;t do have the stuff the focus could.  

Interesting topic, I do see a lot of moms driving that car but not skinny pale guys though.  

If you felt inadequate and had the cash to buy the hummer, wouldn't there be other things you could spend the money on to feel adequate?

some products may help  

You know what grinds my gears??

People who think their H2 is the Ultimate Off Road Vehicle and that it's so much better than a Yukon. Hey moron, its the same car because they're built from the same chassis and use the same *** parts.

I also find this funny:

The video is freakin great!! The agency my brother works for has an H1, and he is always saying what a POS it is. They bought Jeep Rubicons and they way out perform the Hummer both on and off road.  

I have to agree.. The size and the lift kit of a Hummer make you stand out and feel dignified. Good ad copy
