The users that submit their photos to FUH2.com are vehement in their distaste for Hummers--H2’s, to be specific. The site outlines all of the H2’s most unsavory, gas-guzzling quantities, then encourages like-minded readers to submit their own photos expressing their hate for H2’s in bird-flipping form. To date, there are over 474 pages of photos from all over the world.
The site inspired Diane Nerwen to create a montage of FUH2 images interspersed with Hummer commercials.
