I actually thought the ads were cool - but this makes them way uncool for sure]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/
"We have no balls."

That's the message. While the "restore your manhood" tagline was appealing to a very low level (then again, men in search of their 'manhood' in the ownership of a car need to be talked to on that level), it got the job done.

There was nothing offensive in the original line. Offensive would have been:

"Don't be gay, buy the H3, a real man's car"
"Ditch the fufu tofu, here's the real meat"
"That bitch tamed you down, this car will give you your testicles back"
"Screw everyone else, I'll run over you with my mighty H3"

Now that's offensive.

Then again, there is always the problem of being too manly, like too much leather wearing, leather hats, big moustache, macho looking, Village People, cowboy boots (on anyone else but a cowboy, like Owen Wilson with vowboy boots). Hummer is well past that line in the first place.

Man we live in sad times. I mean, really, were the people who complained about this commercial really going to go out and buy an Hummer?]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/
I swear, this country has no sense of humor and gets pissy about the smallest things. Of course, this is while often being oblivious/apahthetic toward truly important matters.]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:39PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/31/chevys-make-your-own-tahoe-commercial-not-exactly-going-as-pl/) had disappeared into the ether, it turns out that they were just practice for Hummer.

Too bad Hummer didn't have the cojones to use them verbatim, only with the H3 instead of the Tahoe.]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/Aug 7th 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/

-Now THAT would be a sweet tagline:

-Restore your manhood, use your head, get it?! LOL.]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/
1. SUV owners, especially HUMMER owners don't like to be reminded of the stereotype of people buying big SUVs to compensate for any shortcomings in other areas. Hillariously it was likely the ones who actually are compensating who took the time to complain, as people who would buy an SUV for other reasons probably wouldn't get all butthurt (pun intended) over the inference.

2. Peta wackjobs who are trying to convince people that people can be healthy without eating meat (which is technically possible but extremely difficult). With so many skinny affeminant vegans running aound already they don't like to see the messages that meat eaters are manly and tofu eaters aren't on the TV.]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/07/restore-you-manhood-hummer-ad-revised/
It should read, "Restore your manhood, stop being sissy!" Or, "Restore your manhood, take your pants back from your wife!"]]>Aug 7th 2006 1:57PM
