More Assholes

The following quote comes from an article at cnn.com about the most American of collectibles, the Hummer:

"The H1 gets about 10 miles per gallon, but [Hummer General Manager Martin] Walsh said rising gas prices didn't factor into GM's decision. He noted that H1 buyers typically have been less sensitive about gas prices than most other drivers."

Isn't language a fun thing? "H1 buyers typically have been less sensitive about gas prices than most other drivers." Yes, it would seem anybody who chooses to drive around in a tank that gets 10 miles per gallon would have to be, at the very least, "less sensitive" about gas prices than the rest of us, right?

It would be so great if Hummer came out and advertised directly to its oh-so conspicuous consumers: "If you're the kind of asshole who doesn't give one shit about destroying the environment and jacking up the cost of gasoline for every other driver out there whose car you could crush like an insignificant little bug, then the H1 is the automobile for you. Let's face it: if assholes like you won't buy our product, nobody else will." Was that so difficult?
