There's a fellow around here who drives a green "asspor". He owns a BMW Passport and, for some bizzarre reason, decided one day to remove the painted name from the rear of the car. As a linear thinker, he started with the "P" but found it was a lot harder to remove the lettering without removing the paint underneath than he thought. After finally removing the "P", he decided it was too much work. But then he decided he'd never live it down if he drove around in an "assport" so he removed the "T" and now drives and "asspor". I asked him why he didn't just remove the "A" and drive around in a "ssport". He said he thought the "T" would take less time.
Seems like there should be a psychologist willing to speak with him.
On another note to manufacturers: Just build a good product THAT PEOPLE MIGHT WANT, SFU and stay out of social engineering, thank you very much!
Sheesh, I really wonder about this pervert bandwagon that some manufacturers just HAVE to rah rah about.
