ditto.

Wow, that post is so uplifting... I'm certain that GM employees are totally disheartened now and soldiers involved in the Iraqi war are thrilled that such a ground-breaking, original t-shirt concept such as this could be achieved on their behalf. Bravo to the fantastically talented and brave designers whose creativity and insight gave birth to such a bold, daring, forward-thinking statement. By identifying the only 10mpg vehicle ever manufactured and correctly identifying it as the greatest threat to mankind, this t-shirt approaches a new level of achievement for mankind. The very act of wearing such a product will certainly secure the hopes and dreams of all right-minded individuals who are blessed to look upon you.

Brocked,
Not to pick apart your entire post, but I'd like to point out a few things.
1) GM employees are indeed disheartened, perhaps not on account of this tshirt, but rather, due to the fact that GM is on the cusp of bankruptcy and their debt ratings were bumped to "junk" status earlier this year.
They're knee deep in pushing over the top SUV's when the rest of the world is gradually wising up and at least starting to push crossover cars.
2) Soldiers in the Iraq war are possibly the MOST entitled to be wearing a well designed shirt such as the one above. After all, they're the ones forced to scavenge for scrap metal to reinforce their Hummers, given that the stock models they're driving do little to protect occupants from IED's and small weapons fire.
3) I have absolutely no doubt that the H2 is not the first 10MPG car to roll off an assembly line. The difference is that the other 10MPG vehicles were likely dump trucks, cranes, bulldozers or cement mixers. In other words, they serve a purpose greater than that of getting occupants to the local golf club for a 7am tee-off.

The H2 has been the recipient of so much bad press because it has come to symbolize all that's presently wrong with personal transportation in North America. It's inefficient, unsafe (for both the drivers and others around it), aesthetically it resembles what I would envision Voltron's poop to look like and given that it's just dropped on a Chevy Tahoe frame, it's also a fraud for the ill informed consumer.
I was really into trucks once too, but I was pre-pubescent and they were all Tonka trucks. I've since grown up, it would be nice if folks like yourself did as well.

I think that much of the flak that the Hummer gets is because it was designed to look like a military vehicle and many people who buy it do it with some kind of twisted motivation of "supporting the troops" (whatever that means) without realizing that they are actually just using lots of oil, one of the main things for which these soldiers are risking their lives and dying (and the soldiers know this is about oil - just today there's a good interview with a soldier who came back from Iraq: http://www.alternet.org/wiretap/23882/ or click link below on my name.)

Ah, garthbreaks, you raised some good points, had a couple of good non-sequitirs, but I do take a little issue with your last paragraph - do not let your discourse descend to the level of the t-shirt description in the OP.
With your first point, I wholeheartedly agree. GM has been producing a sub-par product for a long time now, so I am not surprised at their current straits.
With your second "point," I must respectfully disagree. The t-shirt in question, a poor auto-trace drawing of an H2 promotional image with some clipart coming from the exhaust is hardly well-designed, and derivative at best. As for the soldiers in Iraq, whether they care or not what I think of the H2, my comment was related to the shirt blurb's assertion that all H2 owners are pathetic excuses for human beings. I really just don't see how that should appeal to anyone wanting to buy a shirt. That's exactly the sort of idiotic rant that I like to avoid (unless, of course, I'm posting the world's longest blog comment). :)

...it seemed like a good place to break...

Next, you are halfway correct with your third assertion. The H2 indeed is not the first 10mpg vehicle to lumber off an overtaxed assembly line. In fact, some cursory research will reveal that it is not the only vehicle to do so this year. This is the point I was hinting at with my sarcasm, and you are incorrect with your assumption that the other offenders would be commercial vehicles. In fact, the Ford Excursion and Dodge Ram 1500 pickup get even fewer mpg. If you're looking for other vehicles that are roughly equal to the H2, you can try the Lincoln Navigator, the Land Rover Range Rover, or a Mercedes G55. And those are just vehicles in production!
In case you're not getting my point, I think it would serve your cause better to not get hung up on one model. Frankly, I think the anti-Hummer vitriol spewed by so many people only adds to its market share.
In my personal opinion, the H2 is a piece of crap - but that does not give me carte blanche to attack them. I think the steady apathy previously reserved for Plymouth and Buick products would be a much more productive occupation.
Finally, please do not attempt to marginalize or pigeon-hole me by implying that I am "pre-pubescent" or a "truck lover" because I took offense at the shrill drivel used to hype a t-shirt on what I normally consider an excellent blog.

Could you be more full of yourself, Brocked?

Hard to imagine how.

brocked - seriously - Free Republic?

mr. schiendelman, I don't understand the relevance of what appears to be a politically-motivated news site?

It's cool, I probably appear full of myself because I generally am. I was really saddened to see this item and its description on this blog. I like to think of this blog as forward-thinking, since it generally shows cool ways that technology/ingenuity can be used to make the world a better place. T-shirts and diatribes that don't encourage anything beyond more contempt for other people didn't seem constructive or orignal, so I resorted to objection by sarcasm.

Unfortunately, compassion and understanding for folks who are raping our environment really won't get us that far. Negative social pressure is an excellent way to decrease use of something that's damaging to others.

I'd comment here more often, but there's no site design work being done, and now TypeKey has stopped "remembering" me, so it's more a pain in the butt to carry on a conversation than it used to be (which was a pain in itself).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Until this site gains interactivity - threaded comments, something like a diary system where any user can talk about something they've seen - it's going to stagnate.

Sadly, all their shirts are 50/50 cotton/poly. And there is no information on their website as to what type of printing process they use.

Kudos to Brocked for being the only reasonably intelligent being that posted. The t shirt is some hack's attempt at promoting divisiveness. In order to solve our eco-dilemmas, we should focus more on the solutions, rather than the problems; and try our best to not be peddlers of hate. The shirt achieves no practical purpose.

It's wonderful to see that our humble t-shirt has motivated so much discussion. The fact is that we stand by our design, which does not include the use of clip art and any low-resolution look is purely intentional. The image of the Hummer has become a recognizable symbol of our culture and that is what we seek to focus on. In reference to one post, it isn't the shirt that is divisive, the fracture comes from the philosophy behind the vehicle; to waste or not to waste!

This design has served its purpose. It has created a somewhat inteligent debate, educated us a little more, and it does the same wherever it is worn.

You folks are mighty angry at one vehicle. If this, or any other modern, vehicle were easily converted to run on biodiesel or pure ethanol, the 10MPG would be a Godsend to the American farmer who can just barely feed his family. Both Ag. derivatives are right here and now.
As far as "no reason" to purchase this vehicle.
There is in fact the MOST IMPORTANT reason known to ANY American. Personal choice. That is the reason that young people have fought for this country. To protect our individual right to make our own decisions. Concerning the size of the vehicle and the consequences of a crash, you would do better to comment, and legislate that the publics attention be returned to the road and the job at hand, driving. Between 40,000 and 60,000 people die every year in this country in an automobile crash, which almost makes you safer in Iraq. The majority of which are preventable.
Folks. Take responsibility for your own actions. Get off the phone, stop watching dvd's, stop multitasking and operate your vehicle in a safe manner.

Just curious if any of you have actually driven in an H2? They are a great vehicle and are not built on a Tahoe frame. They use primarily HD parts: shortened frame, HD brakes and hubs, HD suspension. They have a longer, wider wheelbase than a Tahoe with a shorter body. Average MPG is 12-13 in the '05's with an improved ECU for fuel management. The newer motors produce less emissions than anything in a truck from 5 years ago, so if you have an older model it will produce more waste emissions. And the H2 is not the most gas guzzling vehicle on the road. Try the Dodge pickup with the Hemi motor that gets 9-10MPG. For reference the new Infinity G35 gets 17MPG and cannot go offroad or tow anything. Better yet, look at your sportscars that haul only two people and get similar mileage as a Hummer? Even less practical in my opinion. Go pick on them for a change. :p

What a minute don't the soldiers driver Hummers. gee you guys are pretty smart.

Also worth a look is their 'Walmart/Sweat-Shop' tee.
