Sticky Bumpers

As a general principle, I oppose almost all bumper stickers.  98% of them are pretentious and arrogant - espousing your beliefs to any poor soul who has the misfortune of driving behind your Suburu hatchback.  

I'm not impressed with your child earning A's in middle school.  If they discover a cure for cancer, then we can talk.

I don't give a shit who you voted for - the political bumper sticker is just going to make you look like a fool when that elected representative sells out. 

Gluing paper to your car will no more save (the planet, trees, snails, North American Spotted Goose Turkey, sardines, sand, etc.) than forming a drum circle and laying down a jazzy diddy on the pan flute, but it makes the person feel good about doing "their part." 

The condition in which you're born (ethnicity, race, country, state, religion, etc.) does not tell me what kind of person you are, but the fact you have a bumper sticker boasting it does.    

BUT, I drove beside this masterpiece on the commute this morning:

“Dyslexic satan worshippers sell their souls to Santa”

Brilliant.  This made me laugh and I hope I see this car at least once a week.

  1. Sweet! And yes, I also can't understand the point of majority of the bumper stickers. It's like "Hey, you wanna know what I think and believe in? Do you want to know how well my kid is doing in school or how my kid can beat your kid? No! Oh well, I'll tell you anyway and perhaps if you believe in what I believe in, then we can be friends at the next red light or give each other a thumbs up." C'mon people. What are we in grade school still?
