Yall, I just saw this amazing new transport vehicle. Was thinking about trading in my lime green VW bug for it, but then I realized that it is a car created by the popular web band CRYSTAL CASTLES. I remember when I posted a picture of Trapped in SuburbiaBro wearing a CRYSTAL CASTLES FAN CLUB branded shirt. Kinda like their logo. glad they are ‘branching out’ to be more than just musicians.
I think seems more progressive than a Smart Car, and probably saves more energy. Not sure if it has solar panels on it, or if it comes with USB ports, but still might be nice to have as a ‘weekend car.’
I read on a Wall Street Blog Journal that the Auto Industry is ‘in the shitter’ because they don’t have enough solar cars and because fossil fuels aren’t being turned into car gas any more because the Arabs ‘got greedy’ after the religiously charged attacks on America in the early 2000s. Think it’s kinda risky that the Crystal Castles, LLC is headed into the auto industry, but maybe they are going to try to get a bailout if they prove that they can revolutionize the industry?
Will u buy 1 of their transport, all-terrain vehicles? Or would u rather buy a different 1?
Interested to see if ‘hybrid cars’ actually work out, or if we will all just end up walking and/or riding fixed gear bikes.
Whenever I see a smart car
I think about being an ass hole who drives one
and then getting in a routine car accident
where I accidentally die
because I drive ‘a lil cartoon fggt car’
just because I wanted 2 ’save the environment’
and had the expendable income to ‘prove that I care’

@colander,
if carlos is a mexialt that would be very interesting. in the eighties there was this one native american nazi skinhead who always hung around the fringes of the punk scene which of course hated nazis/racists/etc (carlos’ antiblack rhetoric…)

CC is taking over! I do not mind this because then we can all swing microphones and hit people with it and it’ll all be legal.
anywho, H8 smart cars, more like easy to die in cars, too compact might as well use shoes and walk.

lolwut crystal castles
i hope they give the CC mobile away &/or ask ppl to name the price
that would revolutionise the auto industry in an unprecedented way & expand their brand.

@CRLS,
This is derivative humor at its worst. South Park already popularized this joke by turning eco/neo puritanism into a visual metaphor: smelling ones own farts. Not only did you desperately use a tired cliche, you failed to improve the joke. You didn’t even transfer it to the medium of a blog well. This post was like most Aoki remixes — worse than the overplayed originals that weren’t worth hearing in the first place.
If you’re going to make jokes that have already been made a million times, you should refine them a little bit like Autoerotique’s remix of Lykke Li’s “Little Bit.” It’s a lil bit shorter than the original. It gets to the point a lil bit faster. The vocals take on a new meaning within the new banger context. Is it an overplayed song? Yes. Are bangers overplayed? Yes rip. But the fusion isn’t terrible like this post.
I watched Who Killed the Electric Car last night with my dad. I wish that I was jking and making fun of the naivety of granola trust fund kids, but I’m not. There is so much wrong with America. Those of us privileged enough to have educations/Macbooks/iKindles/iPhone Nanos/gPhones/blogs/Googles/Internets/wealth/peace could encourage positive contagions instead of snarking for a few clicks ‘trying too hard to be a bloggable meme’ being ’some ass hole who just wants attention.’
Comedy has tremendous social influence. Even contrived edutainment like The Daily Show or The Colbert Report influence the lost sheep under its herd. (I sound like hacksterbro. I’m not.) I’m just asking you bro-2-bro to be a chillbro abt positive contagions and consider your influence. Reading the comments reminded me that not every1 has a degree/can think for themselves.
