The Hummer was created under contract for the U.S. Military, as vehicle of war. During the 90s, the Hummer became available for the gas-guzzling, atmosphere wrecking, road-hogging pleasure of all overpaid, undereducated, insecure, civilian dumbfucks across the nation. The combined effect of displaying one's socio-economic status while simultaneously displaying a complete disregard for the environment made the Hummer a hot seller - until a disproportionately large number of Hummer owners lost all of their money in the real estate collapse.
Today, it was announced that the Hummer brand has finally gone out of business. Score one for the planet. And score one for people who aren't jerks.
