Okay, so I'm sitting here at work reading magazines because I just volunteered to work THE WHOLE DAY and 3 people have come in over the last 4 hours. The one good thing about this is that there's noone to offend, so I can excercise a few of my less-played CDs, even if the songs are 16 minutes.
Aaaanyway, the point is that there is an ad on the back of this magazine for the Avalanche, or as I like to call it "The truck with no self respect." It's not good enough to be a truck, so it has to whore istelf out as an SUV as well. It's like a construction worker that sells himself as a tranny hooker on the weekends, quite the tragedy really. So, the tag for this add reads "This is what happens when your engineers grow up playing with Transformers and watching the A-Team." When I read that my mind repressed the memory and pretended it was an add for something cool, like rocketpacks or nuclear powered pocketwatches. That is FAR to perfect a pitch to be wasted on something like the freaking avalanche! This shakes my most deepest held beliefs to their very core; that people with such impeccable, badass taste could concieveably be involved with the creation of such a silly non-truck.
I think they lied and that this particular group of engineers only watched the A-Team while their friends were around. When their friends left the room, the TV went to My Little Pony and they fished a bunch of Barbie dolls out from under their bed. Only this sort of deep, painful confliction could result in such a muddled vehicle.
