I gotta say, I never expected this poll to elicit feelings like these on this board. Having said that, I agree with Detonate
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>I really don't even see the comparison in the commercial to real life. I mean we have a cardboard box driven by a kid in a neighborhood to a Man in 6,500 lbs vehicle in the mountains.

I don't think that this ad really teaches irresponsible offroading, but I also don't see how it encourages RESPONSIBLEoffroading either. Is it the place of Hummer or GM to encouage responsible offroad behavior in their ads? I don't see that as the case. I see that GM provides the vehicle, and we as owners (OK, I'm not a Hummer owner yet, but I do own cars) are responsible for our actions after we purchase the vehicle. Remember, we did have a choice in what we bought, unlike in communist country where they had to buy whatever brand the state provided.

It is also our responsibility as responsible offroad drivers to teach trail ettiquite to those less experienced and to those who use the trails badly. I have reported people to the game warden when I see them keeping fish in a catch and release stream, and I royally chewed out a guy that I caught jacklighting deer before I had the Fish and Game cops come get him. I don't do that because of Winchester's advertising, but because of outdoorsman ettiquite that I learned when I was a kid.

Ok, no more soap box time from me. Next!
