10/18/2004: Off-road hearse

[Undertoad]

We've had some discussion about SUVs and a few images of weird vehicles on Quality Images, and so here's your basic Land Rover hearse.

The owners, above, say "Having a Land Rover funeral is a unique and very special way for the family to add an individual touch and celebrate that person's life publicly."

They also offer a Land Rover limo service for weddings. Which begs the question... do they mix and match their services? Was your wedding Rover used to cart a dead guy last week?

Can't miss taking a shot at Rover's latest ad campaign in the US. It shows a pair of hitchhiking college students. One's talking about becoming an art hippie... until they get picked up by a couple in a Rover, and are stunned by it, at which point the other says "You could always minor in ceramics."

That's right, boy, the wonder of modern consumerism is a much better dream. The Land Rover will become the replacement meaning of your life... basically, your religion... right up to the day you're carted off in one of 'em.
