I'm a total sheep. Cool kids like Chris Clarke are making subversive Chevy Tahoe commercials, and I just couldn't help myself.
I made one too.
Please, before you rant up my comments, I fully believe that you are a responsible SUV driver. It's the irresponsible ones I encounter on my commute that make me angry ...

Here's some jollity, just in time for Friday. Chevrolet has launched a promotion in which people visit a website and use online modules to create a 30-second advertising spot for the Chevy Tahoe SUV.
The early entries might not have been what Chevy corporate was hoping for.
Keystone sleep/circadian meeting.
F'n hilarious!
Definitive proof of a wolverine living in California has emerged for the first time since the 1920's. Kate Moriarty, a graduate student at Oregon State University was hoping to snap a picture of an American marten in Tahoe National Forest, but instead she captured this image of a wolverine.
Oh wow, that was _good_.
Excellent! I love the science AND the touch of humour!
Totally great ad!
I'll post it on my blog. :)
*Very* funny. (I shouldn't be laughing so loud in the lab.)
Sad thing is, I think it has a real chance to win.
I like it. It sounds strangely like something I yell through the windshield with some regularity.
I fully believe that you are a responsible SUV driver
There's no such thing. Nothing says "selfish asshole" like owning one of those gas-guzzling look-at-MEEEEEE dick enhancers.
I like the ad; as ceresina says, it just might win. The "Ug drive Big Car!" crowd won't even realise they're being mocked.
I think I pretty much kiss the win goodbye with the suggestion that the emissions might wreck the environment. (Sure, in some circles that might be a selling point, but I think the advertising wonks at Chevy are a bit more guarded.)
Both very nicely done. I've seen some other hilarious ones.
I think I liked yours better because it appeals to a science geek like me :). Looks like their plan for user generated commercials back fired because the negative ads are in the limelight now.
A sidenote: The links don't work with Firefox ie the videos are not rendered. We need IE to play the videos.
Also, what makes a responsible SUV driver?
Hmm, I'm watching it with Firefox (because my feelings toward Microsoft are similar to my feelins toward honkin' big cars). I wonder if it's a plug-in issue.
As to what makes a responsible SUV driver, that's an ethical problem I haven't tackled yet. Stay tuned!
Damn, that's pretty good, Janet. Catchy, plays well, good message. I'll buy one!
