"You think I like riding this bike to work everyday? I have bad credit. I can't get a car loan."

I see stupid ads every time I turn on the TV - so I dont' do it.


People who watch TV always end up thinking that SUVs really aren't THAT bad.

I'm not sure why riding a bike is more humiliating than being an indentured servant to a bank, a car company, and an oil company all at the same time, but that's exactly the mindfuck these companies have managed to pull off [...]
