Say No to Hummers

A “Say No to Hummers” parody site is sponsored by hybridcars.com:

This month McDonald’s is giving away toy Hummers — 42 million of them, in eight models and colors — with every Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal. That’s right: The fast-food chain that helped make our kids the fattest on Earth is now selling future car buyers on the fun of driving a supersized, smog-spewing, gas-guzzling SUV originally built for the military. Use the Ronald McHummer Sign-O-Matic™ to tell us what you think of this misguided marriage of two icons of American excess.

Five Reasons McDonald’s Should Dump the Hummer

1. Hummers emit high levels of smog-forming chemicals that cause or worsen asthma, which hits hardest among children. See how your car rates.

2. Hummers are the worst example of the lack of commitment to cleaner and more efficient vehicles by General Motors and other American automakers.

3. Hummers spew the pollution that causes global warming, contributing to killer heat waves and hurricanes.

4. Hummers are gas guzzlers, helping keep America dependent on oil from the Middle East and threatened by the region’s extremist politics.

5. At current gas prices, filling up a Hummer H2 costs almost $100 — money parents could spend on healthier food for their kids.

So what do you guys at HybridCars.com really think about Hummers?
