BUY A HYBRID?

Ok, I'm sure everyone has seen this dopey commercial featuring the little girl who is embarrassed because her father doesn't drive a hybrid vehicle. So she wants to be dropped off a block away from the movie theater.



I don't know about you. But this ad makes me want to go out and buy a gas-guzzling hummer.

Honestly, how old is this girl - 10, 11? First of all, I find it hard to believe that your average 10-year-old even knows what a hybrid is. And even if one did, I don't think there would be an elitist attitude surrounding those who have them. "My parents drive hybrids. Yours don't. I'm better than you. Ha ha ha!"

Please...

Listen to this girl yap. "People in that part of town are riding bikes and have hybrids and stuff."

Yeah, every city has a hybrid side of town, don't they? If I were that dad I would walk back in the house and tell this little brat to hop on HER bike and get to the theater on her own.

Sickening!
