It has been noted that some writers at other car blogs out there have a minor obsession with Transformers. We had chalked this up to a minor mental illness that was probably treatable with medication (or a hammer). But it turns out they’re not alone in this affliction. On the contrary, it seems as though there are other people who liked the movies for more than just Megan Fox in tight clothing.

Or possibly not, as really, the movies were really nothing more than 7 or 8 hours (I lost count) of GM advertising. For the Transformers, then, to be used as advertising on the side of a GM pickup, advertising for something else, seems appropriate, in a twisted sort of way. The great commercialism circle-jerk continues unabated, and nobody, anywhere, seems to remember that Bumblebee used to be a friggin’ VW Beetle..
I need a good stiff drink. I’m feeling depressed for the very future of humanity.
