Mr. Jones, our Jalopnik Total Package. Classy, knowledgeable, articulate and witty. Well done, sir. Glad to have you in our midst, Jalopnik is a better place for it.

@skaycog - Game On!: No, I called the advertising campaign classless. Not because of the bare bums, but because of how they were utilized.

@skaycog - Game On!: Does this mean your preference for the Ford GT's headlights has shifted? Because I think that photo just changed my mind again.

@skaycog - Game On!: I can't agree with that. All the La Senza ads I mentioned above are classy, and some feature bare bums. Or even — ::GASP!!:: — a nipple!!

@wojo-the newly visible man-ardi: awesome comment, great job!: I've tried my best to avoid it. This is why. No boobies? No bums? What? Greatest nation in the world. Pfft.

SoylentDiesel is PEOPLE!!

@Nick Allain: They already have the "SS" brand for that. Pontiac was redundant.

@dal20402: Please see my comment. As I said repeatedly, and at some length, the Impala brand WAS a premium brand, like the Corvette. And GM couldn't build enough of them. Please see the 94-96 Impala. So if GM hadn't been screwing the pooc—

This just goes to show why I will never do any works of charity like this if I end up rich and/or famous. You do something nice, you do it in a good way — an essay contest, rewarding brains, rather than all the millions of rewards that go to meatheads who can play catch — and you get accused of shameless self

@ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD: I've seen that too. Hell, even the people who want to get material out of the containers — and who are authorized to do so — have a hell of a time doing it.

It's all misdirection. They've actually bought up a massive fleet of beige Chrysler minivans.
