How are the mighty fallen

Yesterday, it was announced that GM's last-ditch effort to sell its Hummer brand to a Chinese company had fallen through. The once mighty king of the gorilla-sized-car market—28,000 of them sold in 2007, versus just 9,000 in 2009—could not fetch even a paltry $150 million. Having failed to find a buyer, GM is now moving ahead with plans to liquidate the brand entirely.


Christopher Bateman writes in his Vanity Fair obituary for the "slow, unwieldy behemoth".

In his Bark Bark Woof Woof blog, Mustang Bobby's farewell to the Hummer is more succinct, laconic and straight to the point; "That's okay, guys; there's always Viagra".

Well done, that man.

I'm guessing that a Hummer plus Viagra would look something like this:


Mmm, classy....
