So let me get this straight. Mom is pissed off because her son didn't get to go first down the slide, so she goes out and buys a fvcking Hummer so she can feel cool and above everyone else again? Am I getting this right or am I completely missing the point of this ad.

Get your girl on wtf???

She takes her son, trades in her Chevy minivan, and buys a Hummer and drives down the street with a bitchy look on her face, and the words "GET YOUR GIRL ON" appear on the screen.

This is why I download my tv shows instead of watching real time.

I hate commercials.

Yeah, that Hummer commercial is god-awful.

Instead of standing up for yourself you should just go out and buy a Hummer.

Right... :roll:

I sure don't get it. Kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, which never happened. Should have had the kid peering out the back window, at the bitch and her brat, trying in vain to see past their monster Hummer in traffic.

but yet, no one hear realises how useful this advertising really is.

look at Marlboro. they were womens cigarettes until they threw a dude on a horse w/ a marlboro out of his mouth, and they became manly.
look at Harley. they advertise that you can be a badass on it, and they sell like hell.

its a perfect advertisement for the demographic

No worse than the other one with the guy at the store. What really ticks me off about the kid & slide commercial is the *other* mother. :|

The H3 is the girliest SUV I've seen in a long time. Something about the way it looks just takes all the Sport and Utility right out of it.

Also, it's a piece of crap that I can't believe people buy. But then again...people still buy the newer fuglier Lexus's as well.

its the best current available off-road vehicle in its class.
it has the best interior of its class.
its more expensive though than the rest of its class.
its engine is an unknown commodity right now, as there hasnt been a test yet with the new upgraded engine.

Look at GM trying to hoc yet another SUV when gas prices are over $3/gallon and only looking to get worse.

the new H3 commercials make about as much sense as anyone spending money on an H3, so i guess they are fitting.

exactly.

the backlash against feminazis/metrosexuals is a serious force to be recogned with.

My best bud got a hummer, and it rocks. Given he's been into 4x4 since we were 10 years old, it's a pretty good dog.

i think harley's were popular before they had commercials saying you could be a badass, and i think 9 out of 10 hells angels would tell you they are indeed badasses as they drug you behind their harley.

harley to me is kind of like jeep, they've been badass since before you needed a possession to make you feel/look badass. if you want to make the arguement for honda or any of the other companies making harley lookalikes, you might have a point.

i don't know about marlboro, i don't smoke. and this advertising doesn't gloss over what a POS the h3 is. the hummer has fallen a long way from the original.
