Mission:
Born of the outrage over the rise of the SUV at the turn of the
new century, big game SUV hunting was our gift to mindless consumer
drones who insisted on getting 12 mpg while driving to the mall
or taking the kids to soccer practice. Originally designed to stigmatize
SUV’s, we have recently decided to widen the scope of tagging
to include all gas guzzlers.
The reason for stigmitizing gas-guzzlers is simple. We are at 380
ppm (parts per million) of CO2 in the atmosphere. At 450 ppm (about
20 years down the road) global warming becomes self-perpetuating
even if we completly stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere. At that
point some scientists predict that the mid-latitudes of the planet
will become a desert uninhabitable by humans. We think the next
generation deserves a future better than that. That means we have
less than 20 years to turn it around or we are toast (click here
if you have a strong stomach to see what we are in for). Any excuse
for driving a gas-guzzler is a joke compared to the consequences
of business as usual.
We have therefore decided to use ridicule and social embarrassment
to change the habits of the American consumer. Increasing publicity
will turn all gas guzzlers from a status trinket to the badge of
shame that they are! In the old days, society had a pillory to shame
people out of anti-social behavior. Today we have the mighty bumper
sticker that is helping to turn civil disobedience into an extreme
sport.
While the adrenaline rush of stalking and tagging the really big
game SUV’s is unparalleled, the thrill of the hunt has been
expanded to include V-8 Mustangs, big pick-up trucks driven by poser
tough guys, V-8 Benz’s and Lexus’s or any other sub
30 mpg dinosaur.
Now we recognize that some people have a legitimate need for these
gas hogs. However, most people don't need the automotive version
of the Exxon Valdez to run their daily errands. That leaves 95%
of gas-guzzlers on the road as fair game.
