His Wife about wet her pants laughing

thats funny.

somewhere in japan, some guy who's just as interested in his bottom line and stock price as the CEO or director of marketing of any other huge company (or small company) is laughing himself to sleep every night over how such a huge company can convince hollywood that they, and they more than anyone else if not they alone, truly love trees, and really, probably, they are only in business to try to help trees.

to be an brand enthusiast is totally cool and natural. I'm a GM pickup enthusiast and probably prone to judging other pickup types harshly. I'm an H2 enthusiast and probably prone to bias there as well.

But i'll never start a thread saying "thank god for GM, without them where would american industry be. thank god for the H2, all american to the core". Or freak out at somebody if they have a gripe about their truck.

Like 'em or hate 'em, i think we have to admire toyota. they're the antithesis of GM and Hummer when it comes to marketing. They get it done, and done so well, that their customers are walking recitals of the brochures.

I should wish for half as much skill and tact.
