    that’s not a tank. that’s the all-new Ford Leviathan XL, a recreational vehicle with the latest in pedestrian obliterating technology.

    it seats 2 and can fit one mountain bike and three bottles of soda in the cargo area.

        it’s just for the commercial, so they can show some outdoorsy guy in muted synthetic fabrics put an aluminum mountain bike in the back and drive up some dirt trail with panoramic overlooks to unload the bike and ride on different trails.

              Yeah. She was standing in front of the bulldozer wearing a fluorescent orange jacket. The driver approached from far away, far enough to see her, and when he reached her she stood up on the mound of earth he was pushing, eye to eye with the cabin. He kept going until she slipped and fell, then he ran her over and dragged her 10–15 meters.

      When I was younger and a bit more of a lib, I thought it was extremely odd that Chinese people don’t know or care about the tank man. It’s actually really weird that I knew about it. In another country across the Pacific Ocean, a man stood in front of a tank and the tank didn’t run him over once. Good. That’s the normal thing. That happens whenever humans are in the way of vehicles of any kind. You might hear about the cases where the vehicle failed to stop or didn’t stop intentionally. Someone not being run over is not a very interesting story. But Amerikkka is a land of photographs and films and other fakery, and a powerful photograph can resonate with the Amerikkkan ideology, so the tank man became a real meaningful statement to us.
