Of all the places in the United States to hear complaints about billboards, signage and especially the American flag, Las Vegas would seem an unlikely source — but that is exactly what’s happening at a Hummer dealership.

Dealership owner Dan Towbin said his big flag, which at 30 feet by 60 feet is about the size of a competition volleyball court, fits his dealership. “The building’s oversized, the sign’s oversized, the cars are oversized,” he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The man in the CNN article complaining that he can’t sleep because of the flag waving sound is hilarious. Vegas has to be about the noisiest town in America and he’s being woken by a flag fluttering in the wind? Dude can sleep through neverending neon but goes into instant alert when there’s flag wind action.

Also seems strange to have the dealer admitting — though not in as many words — the vehicles he sells are road hogs. Hmm, my second Hummer mention of the day already and it’s not even 11am. Ronald McHummer, anyone? I suppose it would be appropriate for the main blogger of a site with Hmm in the name to own a Hmmer, sans the U. Too bad no such vehicle exists yet.

My dream Hmmer would be eco-friendly, fuel efficient, affordable, roomy interior, computer networked, GPS, EVDO, solar panels and not be a road hog. If anybody wants to design and build the Hmmer, let me know when I can test drive. Would gladly pay more than $10,000 for the Hmmer.

Did this post make you go hmm?
