Bumper stickers that make me want to kill

by Plutonium Page

Well, not kill, but maybe vomit.

Fuck the serious diaries (mine, not yours).  Instead of spending half an hour doing research and posting something "deep" that people won't necessarily read, I'm going to post something that gives everyone a chance to rant.

I got the idea from another forum.  People had a great time posting bumper stickers that pissed them off.  I have trouble driving around Albuquerque because I want to scream at the "W '04" people, or slash their tires in parking lots.

So, look below the fold.


[editor's note, by Plutonium Page] Oh lord, this is up on the recommended list again. I'm so sorry - I don't know if it pushed anything important off the list. I'll delete if anyone is pissed off about that.

The obvious bumper stickers that make me want to kill (or barf) are the George W. Bush ones.

This one scares me.  It looks so... fascist.  Like people might start wearing it as part of an armband.  Creepy:

Yay!  Patriotism!  This one, plus the foot-high red, white and blue "W" ones, is just irritating:

But THIS ONE WINS for inducing homicidal urges.  Even Frank almost lost it when he saw this one:

Others:

"Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."

Nothing wrong with Christians, mind you, but that bumpersticker pretty much says "Muslims, Jews, and anyone else who isn't Christian are evil sinners."

But then there's "GOD WILL FORGIVE THE TERRORISTS, BUT AMERICA NEVER WILL!".

I saw that one once, and thought "But I thought only Christians are forgiven..." ARGH!  

One that only New Mexicans will understand:

"DITCHES ARE DEADLY - STAY AWAY!"

I saw that one a lot in the 1970's.  You see, we have flash floods in the summer.  There is always some kid or adult who isn't bright enough to know that if you're playing in an arroyo (flood ditch) when it's about to rain, you might die in a flash flood.  So apparently someone thought "hey, a bumper sticker will help!

It didn't.

So, Kossacks, time to share.

Which bumper stickers make you very, very unhappy?

Also, post anything you've seen that really makes you laugh.

Don't worry if you can't find any image files.

  •  uh let's see... (none / 0)

    I was behind a car with a sticker that said something like "smile, your mother didn't have an abortion" (someone else know what I'm talking about and have the exact wording?) with a nice happy smiley face on it. I wanted to ram the car. I was behind another "anti-abortion car" at another time--plastered with anti-abortion stuff--but somehow that didn't make me as angry as the sticker with the smiley face on it.

      •  NO NO NO NO NO (4.00 / 3)

        You've got it all wrong!  

        "Pro-life" only means you care about "the being" UNTIL it is born... because then once it enters the world as we know it, eh, who cares...

        Demanding health care for everyone, combatting poverty, opposing war or the death penalty... those don't even come close to what it means to be pro-life.

        You silly person you; stop thinking so much!

          The real reason why the right-wingnuts utterly despise public education is because liberals go to considerable (and sometimes excessive) lengths to keep public schools 100% secular.  

          Not to mention that many schools (especially colleges) are known to have overwhelmingly liberal student populations.

        My real argument with the so-called pro-life movement is their unbelievable hypocrisy.  
        Ok, so you want to make abortion illegal, how 'bout making it unnecessary instead?    Make birth control readily accessible and give comprehensive sex ed classes to kids to show them how to prevent pregnancy.  Support women who want to have babies but can't afford it!!  provide for women who want to give their unwanted children up for adoption but can't deal with being unwontedly pregnant for 40 weeks.  Etc. etc.  
        Quit complaining that it goes on, and do some thing to prevent it from happening to begin with!!!

  •  Calvin pissing on anything is stupid (4.00 / 17)

    Mostly because Waterson doesn't get any royalties from them, and it's definitely against the general theme of that brilliant strip.

    Also, I saw a sticker that read: Annoy a Liberal, Work Hard, Succeed, Be Happy.

    Wasn't sure if that was a reminder to Conservatives to knock the hate off, or just to get their asses in gear, but I found it annoying.

        I just laughed; there were a bunch of other stickers on thier, but generally a combination of religious (christian) stuff as well as pro-gun stuff. the whole effect made me laugh, and I 3really jsut wanted to go ask the guy if he knew what a dumby he looked like. then I thought, oh, maybe he's visiting from the US so I should be hospitable.

      Wasn't sure if that was a reminder to Conservatives to knock the hate off, or just to get their asses in gear, but I found it annoying.

      It fits back into the Conservative narratives, in particular their perceptions of themselves vs their perceptions of Liberals.

      In their world, Conservatives get ahead through sheer effort alone and are happy with what they get. In contrast, a Liberal is never "happy" unless others are poor and miserable no matter what.

      What they don't get--because it's not part of the narrative--is that we, too, are happy when people work hard, achieve success, and find happiness. It's just that we think the opportunities for success and happiness have become increasingly scarce, and that Conservatives have been largely complicit with that scarcity.

      ...Calvin is pissing on lots of things, tho' mostly it's the logos of ford chevy or dodge.  A few weeks ago I saw one of Moe (the big bully) holding calvin by his shirt, getting ready to pound him.  Little pee dribbles were falling from calvin.  There was a dodge "ram" symbol, that Calvin had been peeing on.  This was all happening on the back of an enormous Dodge truck.

  •  About six months ago, (4.00 / 15)

    driving around Charlottesville, I exited the highway and pulled up behind a white pickup truck stopped at the bottom of the ramp.  The truck had two bumper stickers.  The first had a Confederate Flag on it and said:

    The South Shall Rise Again

    The second had an American Flag on it and said:

    United We Stand

    To this day, I puzzle over whether that was brilliantly ironic or just mind-numbingly stupid.  But I'm fairly certain it was the latter.

          That's one of my all-time Onion favorites.

          Link here

          A sample:

          The Deep South states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee consistently rank at the bottom of the nation in a wide variety of statistical categories, including literacy, infant mortality, hospital beds, toilet-paper sales, and shoe usage. Even so, some experts believe the region could be poised for a renaissance.

          "The way things stand, things in the Deep South almost have to get better. Otherwise, the people who live there will devolve into preverbal, overall-wearing sub-morons within a century," said Professor Dennis Lassiter of Princeton University. "Either Southerners will start improving themselves, or they'll be sold to middle-class Asians as pets."

          "My constituents are decent, hard-working folk," said Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, in his 22nd annual "Next Year, By God!" speech on the steps of North Carolina's capitol building.

        As for half naked people with guns, Quentin Tarantino made fun of those stupid videos of women shooting automatic weapons while wearing string bikinis by making his own video.  Hilarious.

        And hot brass HURTS when it goes down your shirt, so those videos really crack me up, although I've never seen one.  It's just the concept that's so damned funny.

                •  Mini Vans (4.00 / 3)

                  My KE/04 sticker on my mini van will be replaced by one that says "This Teacher Gives W an F"   but I'm waiting until after the electors meet, too.  Hey, a girl can dream.

                  If the bumper's not too crowded, I'm adding "Our Troops Deserve a Smarter President."

                  The one that makes me scream out my car window is not a bumper sticker, but a yard sign that's popular down here in the south--- it's big, it's red-white-'n-blue, and it demands:

                  SUPPORT PRESIDENT BUSH AND OUR TROOPS

                  Makes me want to bring the car to a proverbial screeching halt and pound down their door, howling, "Supporting the the troops was what I was trying to do by voting for Kerry, you ignorant assholes."  

                  But I usually have my kids with me, so I practice some self control.  Usually.

                  •  Stolen signs (4.00 / 2)

                    You know, a bunch of people in my neighborhood had those 'This family supports President Bush and our troops' signs in their yards, and almost all of them were stolen. Disappeared so quick you practically never knew they were there.

                    I'm certainly no advocate of theft, but my neighborhood sure looks nicer.

                    And I still don't quite know what to make of the thefts, either. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Both, you say? Okay, then. ;)

                  •  I had to do that on the way home (4.00 / 2)

                    (practice self-control, that is)

                    Had a truck with "Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry" in front of me in stopped traffic and it was all I could do not to 'accidentally' floor it from two feet away.

                    My reaction was highly inspired by this diary!

                    Support President Bush & Our Troops
                    Vote Straight Party Republican.

                    These yard signs showed up in Dallas a couple of weeks before the election, usually next door to a house that had a yard sign for the Latina lesbian Democrat who is our newly elected sheriff.

                    •  And don't you keep wondering (none / 1)

                      how it was that we elected Lupe sheriff here in Dallas County, since the "majority" of us are supposed to have voted for Bush?  

                      Of course, our voting machines have all that cool state-of-the-art touch screen technology, so I'm sure they got it right.

                •  Parking lot reading- (4.00 / 2)

                  here in Portland OR can be pretty fun. There's a few W stickers, but they're really vastly outnumbered by K/E stickers.

                  Ya know the old joke about Eternity being four blondes at a 4-way stop? Try three Volvo wagons in the parking lot at the local natural grocery- 'After you-' 'No, you were here first'... I was driving one of the Volvos- and it was pretty funny.

                  Back of my car has:

                  'ORYGUN' (UO sticker)
                  OPB (public broadcasting)
                  A Hogwarts crest and a Gryffindor crest (I'm Gryff, '83)
                  An 'SCA' sticker and a 'Kingdom of An Tir' sticker
                  'Republicans for Voldemort'
                  The Move-On 'Mission/NOTHING Accomplished
                  and of course a John Kerry sticker

                  And quite a bit of dirt, but it's December, so it's pointless to wash it...

              •  In my angrier days (4.00 / 3)

                my car was embellished with "Doing my part to piss of the religious right" and "Against abortion? Don't have one" along with a rainbow flag, a Darwin fish, and various & sundry punk stickers (I found Missouri brought a lot of that out in me...). Driving to work outside of St Louis, I'm on I-44 when I see the sterotypical old-person's-car: white Ford Crown Vic, going 10 mph under the speed limit. They've got Kansas tags, and their bumper is plastered with stickers.

                I'm gunning it to pass them; I can make my exit and give them the one-fingered salute as I go without a problem when suddenly the bumper stickers came into focus: "Not everyone from Kansas likes Bob Dole", "I'm proud of my gay son", "Hate is not a family value", "Love makes a family", etc...

                Dip me in s**t and roll me in cracker crumbs...

                We make eye contact as I pass - they look like they're in their late 70's, early 80's: he's got a flannel shirt and gimme cap, she's got hair like a Far Side waitress. They look at me like they're expecting the finger - so I smiled and waved, gave 'em a big thumbs up. My day was pretty much complete.

            •  Reminds me (4.00 / 2)

              of another road rage bumper sticker -

              "Cover Me - I'm Changing Lanes".
