Whale Penis Leather Interiors Get Nixed

Post by Jabberwonky »

And you can thank Pamela Anderson for it...

This article at Wired Autopia details how the Greenies have gotten Dartz to recend the whale penis leather interior option for their armored monstrosities.
I'm not sure why, but I'm a little disappointed.

I would assume that the objection is to the harvesting process.

Now, if perhaps they could contract a cetacean mohel as supplier...

i doubt that that was the ONLY reason for it... i'm not sure if i'm correct (prolly not, but...) aren't whale penis's shaped like a corkscrew or some weird shape?? the car company played along with the greenies only because they couldn't get the right fit from the final tanned shape of the leather or maybe they could, but there would be zillions of seams all over the place and it wouldn't "look good"... so the company saves "face" by telling prospective buyers, that they "had to remove that option due to GreenPeace... sorry... but you can have it in exotic baby Kangaroo leather instead."

Unborn zebra hide (As a PR release once claimed the side panel inserts on a Barris custom Mustang that Maxwell Smart drove on TV at one point.)

All fake fur according to "Mustang, the original Pony Car."

Was also in a Frankie Movie..."Marriage on the Rocks", I think.
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Yeah - that was the one it was built for.

But i never saw that one; i watched Get Smart.

The first season or so, Smart drove Don Adams' actual Sunbeam Tiger.

Might have been from one of the movies made after the series was cancelled.

I meant i never saw the Sinatra movie; i remember the Mustang on a regular episode of Get Smart.

It had front machine guns, activated by the horn button.

It was parked behind the Chief's car.

I forget why Max tried to blow the horn...

There's also that problem of the seats busting through the roof if you stroke the armrests. . . .

Marshmallow fluff? That can be a booger to get out of fabric and carpet. (trust me on that one)

Is this absolutely real genuine fake fur?

(Sorry, just channeling a very long ago Flintstones movie, where Fred wondered if this was the absolutely real genuine fake diamond necklace...)
