Ooh, I know some people that are going to be rather upset by this news. And of all brands to not get a “Miltary” discount, Hummer is the one that just seems wrong.

The local Hummer dealer here in my area has been doing a lot of really brave sounding radio ads lately.
“Over 100 vehicles in stock!”
“We’ll be here to service your vehicle!
Well, they’re not GM anymore, but are they Chinese yet?
One would assume that a Hummer Dealership owner would be a whiskey-drinker anyhow, but man, those bourbon bills have to be through the roof right now.

Since “Monday July 1, 2009″ will never exist, does this mean that this will never go into effect?
Proofreading is not just for special occasions.

So I guess those poor saps still buying Pontiacs are still covered.

College discount on a Hummer? That makes no sense.

Perhaps GM outsourced its proofreaders.

Hmmm… July 1 is a Wednesday.

That Hummer in the picture looks like it just rolled off the road into a minefield…
