Retaaaaaard-ed!The SUV has long been an American status symbol. It represents wealth, power, and if it's being driven by a middle-aged man, it represents a midlife crisis.
To everyone who doesn't own one though, the SUV just stands for overprivileged, gas guzzling idiots who think unnecessary off-roading features for suburban driving and being able to waste money on gas is a great way to show off.
Then they came out with the hybrid SUV. Now SUV owners who felt guilty about wasting gas can pretend they're helping the environment because their hybrid SUV wastes gas at a slightly slower rate.
Hybrid SUVs are like overpriced tacky jewelry. They standout, they make the owner feel special but newsflash - if you own one we're all rolling our eyes over it. And if you're clueless enough to have bought one, we're probably not doing it behind your back either.
What other stupid ideas for going green have you seen?
