This thread is pretty much my view, but it is interesting the way this movie comes up somewhat frequently and starts a “you don’t understand” discourse.

The weird thing about getting older is that every few years this movie bubbles back to the top of the cultural lexicon and there’s a whole new group of people who didn’t know it was satire 

Last Action Hero is ridiculously ahead of its time. I love that movie through and through. 

I am disappointed that the “Read More” button wasn’t brought in on the gag and relabeled “Would you like know more?”

The best satire doesn’t have to be subtle, it has to be earnest. If you think that “the Irish should eat their babies if they’re so hungry” is subtle, then you might want to either recalibrate your scale for subtlety or seriously reevaluate your view on the Irish.

I enjoyed the film as a kid when it first came out because it was an action packed, violent, R-rated movie with incredibly well animated and modeled giant insects eviscerating, and getting eviscerated by soldiers wearing what looks like rubber Nerf armor.

It’s an op. They did such shameless clickbaiting/SEO optimization BS to get us to comment about how shameless it was. I mean, 19 whole comments (including this one) so far, that’s 19 entire extra clicks worth of ads, and given Jalopnik seems to serve roughly 1000 ads per article now, those extra clicks might add up to…

I think that was the point of the click-baity headline. To make us think this is what they were talking about.

In other news, did you know the Empire State Building weighs approximately 166,000 Teslas?

The problem is your grocery getter weighs 5,000 pounds these days and needs those 6 piston Brembos just to stop repeatedly from normal highway speeds.

May I suggest an edit to your title?

Americans will use anything but the metric system

How can we get Tesla in the article title about a random ass Satellite?

Not only that, but they’re just comparing the average sale price to the MSRP of one trim level. It doesn’t take into account the options added to those sales above MSRP. I’m guessing a lot of those vehicles are probably going under MSRP when factoring all the added options compared to that specific vehicles MSRP

Forget the slideshows, does anyone remember when this site used to do original reporting? This is reporting on someone else’s reporting, as is the OEM tire story, which is based on a video and was already reported on by The Drive, and probably touched on by the other automotive blogs that all serve the same audience…

So the math here is just “Sell price reported by True car”/ MSRP of that car?

Eh it’s more of a Metropolis look.

If I had to guess, they probably had to deal with one or more idiots using nsfw pics and decided to just remove the feature. After so many years with the same pic having the default one feels wrong to me.

Not how tax write offs work, so no, this is not the case. 

“I hate the idea that a 3-5 ton luxury vehicle used to shuffle around a single well-to-do douchebag is suddenly cheaper to own than the $1500 beater that a single mother of four drives to and from work”
