One homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener.

The famed hot dog's iconic Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant when the driver tried to turn the giant hot dog on wheels around in the driveway, police said.

The 22-year-old driver thought she was moving in reverse but went forward and crashed into the home, Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tim Zarzecki said. No one was home. The driver and her passenger were uninjured. The home and vehicle sustained moderate damage, Zarzecki said. No citations were immediately issued.

Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner apologized for any inconvenience to the homeowner and said insurance would cover the damage. The company has six Wienermobiles nationwide, she said.

Someone took the phrase "hot dog down a hallway" literally.

I wonder how the homeowner's call to the insurance company went?

Homeowner: "Yes, I'd like to make a claim."

Insurance guy: "Very well, what happened?"

Homeowner: "A wiener crashed into my garage."

I think it was the wienermobile's insurance which would cover it, Baron. But your post was well played.

The call to the insurance company for the wienermobile might be interesting.

"OK, let me check the conditions... wienermobile crashing into a garage... I don't see anything specific. I see the mustard damage rider and protection about the hot dog slipping out of the bun language. Maybe this would be covered by directional malfunction claim."

I can't imagine what it was like for the driver as she was waiting for the owners of the house to come home. The expression on their faces as they turned into their driveway was probably priceless.

I was thinking that the homeowner would have to contact their insurance anyways, if only to notify them.

And I could see this phone call happen:

Homeowner: "My house was just penetrated by a wiener."

Insurance company: "Would you like fries with that?"

You think that's the only wiener that's wrecked a home? Pshaw ...

As with commercial blimps, there's more than one Weinermobile.

As we left Santa Rosa Island on Thursday, one was parked at the boardwalk. I checked it out ... a much nicer ride than the old-school WBs.

As you can tell from the foto, it's a big damned rig based on a Chevy SUV/Truck chassis.

See, it's funny because the weinermobile looks like a giant penis.

PETA's letter to Paula Righter and Nick Krupp follows.

July 21, 2009



Nick Krupp
Paula Righter

Dear Mr. Krupp and Ms. Righter,

On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters worldwide, I'm sorry to hear about the damage your house suffered when the Wienermobile crashed into it last week. As some small compensation, we are sending you a gift of delicious and healthy veggie wieners to try.

Most people lose their lunch when they learn about what actually goes into an Oscar Mayer hot dog. Meat hot dogs contain every imaginable part of abused animals, including pigs' stomachs, snouts, intestines, spleens, and even lips.

Hot dogs and other meats, like the ones that the Wienermobile promotes, can cause damage to much more than just property. They can put a dent in our health and are environmentally devastating, and as I'm sure you know, they cause animals to suffer on filthy factory farms and in frightening slaughterhouses.

In light of your recent run-in with the Wienermobile, we hope you'll stick with veggie dogs and give wieners the miss that you wish the Wienermobile had given you! Included with the veggie dogs is our "Vegetarian Starter Kit," which is filled with celebrity endorsements, handy tips on making the transition to a vegetarian diet, and lots of tasty recipes.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Rajt
Vegetarian Campaign Manager

THIS was the highlight of the thread. Well done, Sammy boy!

"That wiener's way too big to fit in there!"

"Sh-yeah....that's what SHE said."
