Lambo....No!

Posted by Uncle Mark | March 25, 2009 | In contributing editors humor

Okay, I know that many of you loyal readers are busy keeping your heads down, trying to stave off the personal impact of the ensuing worldwide recession while at the same time, watching the US and global auto industry implode with more than a sense of morbid disbelief, but I’m hoping you can spare just a moment for one of my rants.

Usually I’m a big supporter of Fashion Week (quadrupling the population of models in a localized area close by to where I live can never be a bad thing), but right now, I am tempted to call for a fatwa on the fashion industry….for crimes against carmanity.

The fashionistas, not happy that they are having to cut their fashion industry cloth according to the new economic reality, are trying to strong arm their way onto the automobile industry’s turf.

Now, I can’t believe that I am defending any non-gas powered forms of transport (and no, electric and hybrid do not have the Uncle Mark seal of approval), but I’d rather walk than be seen dead on a Segway, especially a Chanel-branded one. And what the world needs right now is NOT a Bulgari-branded Bugatti Veyron (the original one is bling bling enough).

But, alas, the fashion houses are not the only ones that need indicting for car crimes. Step to the front of the firing squad none other than…Lamborghini!

Times must be hard for them under the ownership of Volkswagen, as they decided that in order to keep the coffers full, they would debut their new men’s and women’s clothing lines at the Detroit motor show. Don’t believe me? Check these pics out:

I’d have a faraway look too if I was forced to wear this crap

So bad you have to sandwich between two Lambo cars

I mean come on readers, what’s next? Lamborghini high heels? Lambo, stick to what you are good at (making cars) and stay away from the runway, or else rightpedal is gonna come and get you….

Love,

Uncle Mark

P.S. Lord, please give me strength...
