My irony meter exploded

Last night, in a parking lot I saw a bumper sticker that said something like “Live lightly so that others may live”. A great sentiment, except I saw it on a gigantic SUV. And not one of the semi-practical ones that looked like it was on its way to a cabin in the woods or was full of climbing gear and skis, I’m talking one of those pristine, shiny, leather seats and chrome monstrosities that never leaves the pavement.

  1. I bet it was affixed to the bumper by the owner’s surly 16-year-old daughter who has announced that from now on she is to be addressed by her Indian name, Spotted Owl, and who believes that irony still lives.

  2. Suddenly I’m picturing that stupid commercial for the hybrid SUV where the dad patiently explains that his monstrous dick on wheels is eco-friendly because it has a 60hp electric motor as well as the 240hp gas motor so it only costs $40 to drive to the store and back instead of $42, and the daughter asks “why didn’t you tell me this before?”, and he somehow manages to avoid screaming “BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU COULD FUCKING READ!!!” and slamming her head into one of the many “Hybrid” logos on every available surface of the car.
