Honda is the latest to commit sacrilege with their use of Judas Priest to sell a minivan. (see similar previous post) They purchased the rights to "The Hellion" to promote their yuppie minivan. Yes it did the job of capturing my attention and then my ire. Damn you Honda! [gnashing of teeth]
For those who do not know the wonder of Priest, mainly Crabby, they were part of my teenage rebellion. You cannot mention Heavymetal without saying their name. We're talking long hair, leather, dual guitar solos, explosions and motorcycles. Now take a look at this crap....
This putz wouldn't know metal if he had braces with attached headgear, matching leg supports and pins holding his spine together. The Marshall stack and flames don't do much to appease the Metal Gods either. It's a minivan dude! You will still be a putz driving it.
I can understand why they didn't use something more appropriate like "Turbo Lover". The poor thing doesn't have turbo. But why not "Free Wheel Burning"? Ok, again it's a minivan so you are not likely to be blown away by driving it.
So Hellion was the choice but wait... it's an instrumental intro to "Electric Eye". That song is about an evil satellite force spying on everyone to make sure we do the right thing. Did you notice the minivan has a GPS? And cameras? I see where this is going. You should do the right thing and buy one or else.
Yes you were a rebel but now it's time to play nice... OR ELSE!
All Hail Honda!
