TV Ads Say S.U.V. Owners Support Terrorists


The wonderful Arianna Huffington is taking a brave new stand against the SUV:

"This is George," a girl's voice says of an oblivious man at a gas station. "This is the gas that George bought for his S.U.V." The screen then shows a map of the Middle East. "These are the countries where the executives bought the oil that made the gas that George bought for his S.U.V." The picture switches to a scene of armed terrorists in a desert. "And these are the terrorists who get money from those countries every time George fills up his S.U.V."
Her advertisements are provocative and will hopefully make people think before they spend money on these SUV monstrosities.

Buying oil is a sad fact of life, but SUV owners seem to do it in spades. They use more than their fair share of our natural resources, pollute twice as much, and hog the road with these intimidating, unsafe vehicles.

You don't have to look very far back into history to remember when SUV roll-overs were the news topic of the day. Unfortunately, the media is in league with the auto industry and no longer features such stories. Even Huffington is having trouble purchasing air time for her commercials from an uncooperative, right-wing media.
