    You know, I love animals...probably more than people, even. In fact, I'd say that I can probably think of more people that should 'put down' than animals. However...that was pretty funny. I've always felt like my truck needed to defend itself from the cats that seem to like walking all over it.

    People sometimes take things just a little too seriously. I mean really, can you imagine the Three Stooges today? The outcry over the promotion of eye-gouging would be overwhelming.

    Good stuff there. They also had one a while back where the car flipped up its hood and knocked out a bird or the like. And I totally agree with you, Dyyryath. Someone always seems to get "offended", and usually for someone else. It's so weak.

    All I can say is, if I'd designed a car that ugly, I'd probably be desperate to find a gimick to promote it too. Ugh to both......

    High-larious. I just wish I could keep them out of my flowerbeds. Sprinklers with motion detectors? Or AK-47s with motion detectors? But that would wake the neighbors at 2 am when they do their "business". I hate paw prints on my hood too.
