FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In what is being called "the first sign of creative activity in
months," Abrupt today released the second installment in its series of
SUV 'subvertisements'. These ads directly critique the auto industry's
promotion of gas-guzzling eco-terror, by using the originals' bleak
wilderness landscapes to represent a natural world ravaged by human
excess. Future installments will broaden the critique, while making
explicit the principle of self-interested overconsumption inherent in
the concept of the sports utility vehicle.
