Hummer is lending its name and brand image once again to a product promising to be rugged and durable. This time its to a laptop computer.

New television spots for the Hummer H3 were released this week. The two 60 second ads approach the H3 in a more comedic fashion than Hummer’s H2 commercials. One commercial features of family of bears arriving home only to find their house has been lived in and their H3 gone — and the other stars a monster and a robot that fall in love. Both are meant to spread the Hummer brand to audiences never targeted before. Both can be viewed at Hummer’s website. (Quicktime required)

The City workers of Mt. Carmel had some early morning excitement when a drunk driver of a 2006 Hummer H3 lost control and plowed through a fence and into the city pool. Now, in order to call the street department in the middle of the night you have to pay 250 bucks. Wouldn’t it be nice if that went for every job and every call after hours? The original incident happened on Sunday night, and police say the vehicle “rolled several times” — That truck looks pretty darn good for having rolled…

This is the newest vehicle to claim that it has more capability than a Hummer is called the Rodedog. I’ll admit the Hummer doesn’t float, but after a day of off-roading, would the Valet at a nice restaurant park this in front like a Hummer?…or laugh at you

AOL is cracking down on spammers one at a time — and each has a lot to lose. One spammer in particular had a loaded up Hummer H2, which is now the grand prize in an AOL’s newest sweepstakes. Good News: You do not have to be an AOL subscriber to enter the contest…

Reporter Janee Jackson took an H3 through the test track at her local Hummer dealer, and had nothing but good things to say about the new Hummer H3 — Those chrome wheels have me wondering how much off-roading this particular Hummer will see…The title of her article is Big, bad and luxurious: We test-drive the Hummer H3.
