I hoe, you hoe, we all hoe for Tahoe

Posted 1 April 2006 | Filed under Car-free, Portents

A 2007 Chevy Tahoe commercial with the More Capable, More Responsible, More Refined message for my chance to win big: Chevy Tahoe: Moloch loves children. Most of the dozen or so spoofs I’ve seen so far focus on damage to ecosystems and the geopolitical consequences of oil dependency. Those are surely good reasons to reject vehicles like this, but too often the message breaks down to “we need a greener way to power our cars.” Cleverchimp is more disturbed by the influence on human minds, bodies, and communities of normal household dependence on cars, period.

Please add your own favorites in the comments. Any Flash specialists out there who can grab these spots before Chevy stomps on the fun?

    Greetings, those are some funny ass videos. Until now,
    I used to get sick to my stomach during an SUV commercial,
    I love these Truthful adds you guys made, and they made,
    Me laugh my ass off. I hope Chevy gets the clue, but maby
    not until we all die off from Extreme Climate Shift.
    I have also checked out Peak Oil on Google, lots of good
    info on Hubbard’s Peak.

    “The ‘environmental crisis’ is a misnomer, since it is (of course) a crisis of ourselves, not of the environment.”

    You and Wendell are so right…but it is going be a long way, until car — not bikes — are considered the unsafe component in our transportation fabric. Make me think of the one frame in the Kiaser Permanente ad — a highway full of bikes…
