This morning I head a radio commercial for an extended gas tank, called the Fat Boy.  It was talking about how great it was and how conforting the work guy felt knowing he wouldn't run out of gas - and then he said he liked knowing it was made from "easily recyclable" materials.

Is it just me or does it seem a bit oxymoron-ish to add a 100 gallon gas tank to a vehicle while also being concerned about if it's made out of easily recyclable materials?  The tank isn't made out of recycled materials - it is made out of materials that can be recycled. 

It just goes to show that "going green" is the new trendy thing - even if it doesn't really make sense, they are going to market the product as Earth friendly.  Are consumers really that stupid to think this product is good for the environment just because its made out of materials that can be recycled.  It's a big ass gas tank!  I'm not against having a big gas tank, mom & dad.  (I definately think you need it for your trips.) I just think it should be marketed for what it is - don't try to tell me I can help save the planet because i can recycle this thing after I'm finished using up gallons and gallons and gallons of fossil fuels. 

The Fat Boy needs a new marketing team.
