'Flaming' SUV blamed for string of grass fires


Am I the only one that thought they meant the SUV was homosexual? This must be one of those articles Rush is always talking about where they personify and blame the SUV as if it were acting on its own.

CEDARBURG, Wis. - A single SUV is blamed in a string of grass fires that kept fire crews busy along a 40 mile swath of highway in Wisconsin.

Pieces of hot metal and flaming ceramic from a broken catalytic converter spewed out of the tailpipe, sparking roadside fires as it went along. More than 80 firefighters from 13 departments had to put out grass fires along state Highway 60 out of Cedarburg.

The vehicle itself eventually burst into flames as the 73-year-old driver ran for safety. He works for an auto auction company and had picked up the vehicle at a Cedarburg bank. He says he had no idea it was belching flames.

The driver is barely mentioned, and it sounds as though he too was lucky to escape the evil wrath of the 'flaming' SUV.

I hope that my SUV doesn't read this and get any wrong ideas.

Your SUV is probably made up of mostly Japanese parts and can't read English. Do NOT allow any translation software to come in contact with that vehicle or there'll be hell to pay!

The cops busted one here the other day for bank robbery. They're just no good I tell you. Next thing you know, those satanic SUVs will be dealing crack and making fake credit cards.

What did everyone expect, anyway? We keep hearing about how evil SUVs are, and how there's no place for them on earth. No wonder they're starting to act this way. I think I'm going to start a therapy group for SUVs, to help them get to the root cause of their anger against society and thereby lessen the danger they pose to the world around them.

We've brought this on ourselves by subsidizing SUVs and then abandoning them. The constant drumbeat of criticism has destroyed their self-esteem and turned them into criminals despite their hearts of gold. After years of abuse,is it any wonder they're finally striking out? Well, I say, none too soon!
