This is the dumbest, most pretentious thing I have ever seen.

  • Now don't get me wrong. I drove an SUV all through High School. But that was in North Idaho, where we have serious winter, and I lived on a mile-long dirt road. Come the spring thaw, it resembled a bog more than a road. But people who have fancy-assed SUVs in the city simply for the status symbol of it make me want to vomit. Into corinthian leather seats. And if I ever see this in real life, I'm worried I won't be able to control myself.
  • I dunno. Selling mud to yuppies ... hmm, I kinda like the idea.
  • (It's for obscuring license plates from cams)
  • Yea! Now my Hummer can look even coooooler!
  • Mr. Knickerbocker, I am shocked, SHOCKED you would even suggest such a thing. Why they clearly state that their product should not be used for that. They even mention it about 10 times! and add that you can't get points on your license for this egregious act... hey... wait a minute...
  • I went to St Martins; I've seen much more pretentious stuff than that and seen 'em get a fuckin' BA for it.
  • Well, yeah! I mean, that water pipe I got at my friendly neighborhood headshop? I only use that for smoking tobacco. What else would I use it for?
  • The most pretentious... Have you not been to art shows by studio art majors at the local university / college recently...?
  • As if it weren't clear enough, they even show the license plate obscured in the pic.
  • I dunno about pretentious, I think it's mainly (as others have said) a thinly veiled product for concealing your license plate. And could it possibly look more fake? Is it legal? It is illegal to obscure your number plates. It is not illegal to spray mud onto your car, provided you do not obscure your plates in the process. We certainly can’t condone anyone doing this in order to avoid, for example, detection by speed cameras. You can be fined quite heftily if you do obscure your number plates, it is not however, we are advised by the legal profession, an offence for which you will attract an endorsement on your licence.
  • I hope it looks better than that crap PhotoShop job on the front page.
  • Why? Anyway, the most pretentious thing for cars is BUMPER NUTS.
  • Weezel, you are, like, SO much the wrong! The dumbest and most pretentious thing is Paris Hilton... this doesn't even come close...
  • oh, i don't know. . . .what about that new texas Megachurch ?
  • Spraying mud over your license plate isn't really a bright idea unless you are planning on robbing a bank or something in your vehicle. Otherwise, a partially blocked license plate will just result in the increased chance that you are going to be pulled over for having your license plate number obscured (can't tell you how many times I have had a client who was pulled over because the driver's license plate was not fully illuminated by the car's license plate light).
  • Private Eye's Pseuds Corner has always been the locus classicus for all things pretentious if you need a benchmark for comparison.
  • I want to combine the spray-on mud with Jessica Simpsons navel spray.
  • And the anal bleach....
  • Anal mud! Wait a minute...
  • dear simple life, I have an idea for an episode. how about paris hilton (wearing simpson's navel spray) drives up to "worship" at the houston megachurch in a hummer with spray-on mud, bumper nuts, and a trunk full of anal bleach and college art? What happens next? one can only imagine the ratings....that's what.
  • And could it possibly look more fake? I'm surprised they weren't fake enough to use a picture of a genuinely mud-spattered SUV in their ad.
  • "One Dream, One Team". First it was Bill Gates, then Adolf Hitler, now Lakewood Church.
  • How is Paris Hilton pretentious? James Lipton is pretentious. Paris Hilton is a rich idiot with a publicist and multiple plastic surgeons. There's a difference. As for the mud, when I first saw this I just assumed it was a joke in the pet rock vein. "You'd have to be an idiot to buy this, but we'll sell it to you."
  • OK SOME OF US HAVE PET ROCKS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD
  • It's OK Stoney he's just stupid. Let's go play with Mr Igneous now.
