Sierra Club Using Mobile Billboards

By Rob on October 31, 2006 at 06:53 am

Mobile billboards are still something of an oddity here in North Dakota, but in other parts of the country they’re pretty common. Basically, what they are is just a billboard attached to the back of a big truck of van which then drives around through major traffic areas so that pedestrians and other drivers see the ads. They look something like this:

They seem like a fairly innovative way to advertise, but you wouldn’t think they’d be something the Sierra Club would be interested in. After all, those trucks burn quite a bit of gas which in turn puts a lot of air pollution into the air. Certainly the Sierra Club wouldn’t be compromising their environmental beliefs just for the sake of an effective ad campaign, would they?

/sarcasm

Honestly, this is about as funny as the time the Sierra Club sent a big, fat SUV to escort Arianna “SUV’s SUPPORT THE TERRORISTS!!!” Huffington to and from one of their conventions.

One of the funniest things I’ve seen was back in the months before the 2000 election. It was a “Vote for Ralph Nader” sign… nailed to a tree.

I personally wanted to get a Corvair and put a Nader bumper sticker on it. :^)

But yes, this is really funny. One quick correction; they burn a lot of diesel fuel in general, not gasoline, and given that they’re built on a 2 ton or so chassis (is this really necessary?), we’re talking 10mpg or so. Yikes.

Less when they’re idling in traffic. Yikes, indeed!

Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

It’s a good thing the Sierra Club acted hypocritically here. Now I don’t have to recycle! I’m absolved from personal responsibility...yay!
