Do you disagree with the opinion that buying an SUV supports terrorism though?
I get the irony of the ads, and find the idea humorous, and definitely not frightening. If certain people who were born without the sarcastic bone do take these ads at face value, then they have to agree with the fact that SUV's do support terrorism, or reject the idea. It gets people thinking...and that's the whole point. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, January 8, 2003, 10:53:01 AM, you wrote: TH> Well I would say that continuing to spread what is in many cases irrational fear could be a form a terrorism.
