*scream of horror* They are using TOS Star Trek theme music to promote

[GreenPartyVoter]

Hummers!

:cry:

[originalpckelly]

1. I think it blows that Hummer is using the TOS theme.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

2. Frightening.

Then there's "Hummer Sports Park" in Topeka . . .

:scared:

[originalpckelly]

5. I didn't know they made that a sport.

I'll volunteer for that job.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. *lol*

[originalpckelly]

9. You know, I used to get upset. Now I just enjoy the music...

and figure it's better than having them re-record the actual music, like one company did with "Go your Own Way". It was some sorry ass re-recording and really lost the spirit of the original song.

[LongTomH]

3. Blasphemy!

It violates everything that Gene Roddenberry stood for!

It was bad enough when they used "Happy Jack" for their theme!

[Clark2008]

4. They used a Who song, too.

Flower power, my ass.

[vogonity]

6. My personal SUV commercial "scream or horror" was...

Hearing "Heroin" by The Velvet Underground promoting the Nissan XTerra.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Oh, sir, it was Khan! We picked him up on Seti Alpha Five... He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things. Use Star Trek music... to sell... horrible vehicles.

:cry:

[TheTimmer]

[alfredo]

14. Velcome to DU. anyvay.

[mcscajun]

15. I prefer to keep the accent in my head, not on paper.

I can't believe you're suffering in this thread for your first post, either. But Welcome to DU! :hi:

Things get crazy here on Saturday nights. :)

[TransitJohn]

16. bwahahahahaha

I wish I could nominate your reply. :rofl: :spray:

[mcscajun]

17. Now that I think of it...

I wonder if there isn't a Chekov Translator somewhere on the web. There is for the Swedish Chef.
:evilgrin:

It should also be "do tings". :rofl:

[northofdenali]

21. Heckofa first post, Timmer!

[newyawker99]

22. Hi TheTimmer!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[InvisibleTouch]

27. At least they're not selling "nuclear wessels"! ;)

Welcome aboard!

[AspenRose]

12. I saw that during the Colts-Ravens game

and thought, WTH??? Is nothing sacred anymore?


When they started using Led Zepplin songs to sell Caddies, I knew we were in trouble....

[Bucky]

18. Those motherfuckers oughta be glad my Toyota Corolla don't have phasers.

Of course I never actually read the owner's manual, so actually I might have 'em. But I wouldn't know.

[daleo]

19. Hummer - the final frontier

Its five year mission - to use up all the gasoline in the galaxy.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Yep. Very true.

[Maiden England]

23. The vehicle sucks, but they do have a first class ad agency.

That is a really good ad. Not that it would make me buy one of those behemoths, but then short of them putting in an all electric engine and improving the safety of one of those things, there ain't much they can do about that.

[Deja Q]

24. Quite. The TNG theme is more appropriate.

:rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. No.. I love all my ST shows

[fujiyama]

28. Hey TNG was the best one

Use the theme from Enterprise!

[ikojo]

25. I shrieked in horror when I first saw that commercial

How horrible!
