I actually came on to post this:

<
Find out what Toyota has done to the popular 4Runner that is sure to infuriate Arianna Huffington.

According to The Washington Post's "Reliable Source" columnist Lloyd Grove, Huffington has joined forces with Hollywood producer Laurence Bender and environmental activist Laurie David, wife of "Seinfeld's" Larry David, to produce what will no doubt be considered highly controversial television commercials. To be created pro bono by Scott "Got Milk?" Burns, the ads are "styled as biting parodies of the latest government-supported public service announcements linking illegal drugs to all manner of murder and mayhem," reports The Post.

Here's one script quoted by The Post: SUV drivers will be shown in their vehicles looking out the window, cheerfully saying: Person 1: "I helped hijack an airplane." Person 2: "I helped blow up a nightclub." Person 3: "I funded a terrorist training camp in a foreign country." And then in unison, they'll say: "And we did it all just by driving our SUVs." The point they're trying to make is that the money we all spend on gasoline ends up at terrorist training camps. The ad ends: "The biggest weapon of mass destruction is parked in your driveway." Ouch. And what does Arianna Huffington drive? She's given up her SUV and now has a 50-miles-per-gallon Toyota Prius.>>
