Artificial dirt for your SUV
I know many people actually need the space and ruggedness, so I'm not bashing SUVs, but this is just pathetic.

The copyright statement at the bottom says it cannot be "published, broadcast or redistributed in any manner." I'm assuming that means I can't post it.

It's not very long, so here's the link: http://www.newsobserver.com/nation_world/story/2512994p-8917423c.html

1. I think that it's hilarious
I notice that it's being made in Shropshire; this is a rural English county, the sort of place where a major hobby is taking the piss out of urbanites.

I can just imagine the company founders downing a few pints at their local pub, laughing at the idiotic "Fulham Farmers" who are litterally paying them for mud.

As for needing space and ruggedness - I'm guessing that 99%+ of their customers live in town, and the most rugged journey they ever make is to school to drop their little darlings at the gate.

2. This guy must have seen those fake bullet hole stickers and magnets.
This spray is funny + pathetic.

4. I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Part of the price of each quart should be a good punch in the throat. Thanks for sharing.
