    In reply to China Doesn't Want Hummer Either
    So many China jokes! It's almost starting to hurt... China really ought to do something about its image on the internets, pronto.


    But yeah, back on topic, and seriously, Hummer is pretty useless in every which way, besides being a status symbol that is hated by everyone, except those who own it, who have organs that can only be observed with the help of an electron microscope. I hope Hummer goes away, or at least reinvent itself to become just what they are meant to be: good quality SUVs that are great offroad. Like Land Rover, in other words.


    Right now, I think they'd be better off trying to sell Hummer to Xzibit.

    This is what really happened.


    China govt: Why are you buying Hummer?

    China comp: Because we think it is an excellent vehicle

    China govt: But we copied this years ago

    China comp: oh.... (hangs head)

    China govt: You failure, off to the labor camps!

    They probably figured the engineering required to make a Hummer crumple like a Pepsi can in an accident was a deal-breaker.

    Of course, this news was announced on a press release printed on smoked panda skins with ink made from Tibetan tears.

    If the China does not want Hummer's I submit glorious nation of Khazakstan for to make purchase of this fine company from U S and A. My sister will be most relieved not to have to Hummer as much anymore so she can follow other interests of filling bottles with Gypsy tears.

    Hahahaha Chinese environmental regulation hahahahahaha. Sounds more like a cultural cockblock, if you ask me. China doesn't want to be the next worldwide environmental whipping boy in 20 years, once they resemble the America of the 1950s.

    The only environmental concern the Chinese government has is how to make the environment over Taiwan radioactive without anyone getting mad.
