Is it me, or am I just a snob, but does anyone else feel political bumper stickers are lazy and well...lame? Clever, funny ones are, well, clever and funny...but what's the point about 3x10 Dubya/Clinton/[whoever]-bashing? I see at least two types who invest the cash on these: 1)THe selfrightous [ignorant]college student or 2)lazy, lowbrow [likewise selfrightous] child masquerading as clever intellectual. Neither honestly believe that lady in the minivan behind them suddenly smacked her head with her palm and exclaimed "THat's right, Bush DID lie and soldiers DID die!" thus altering the course of her life's decisions. THe kicker is that said folks are SO intellectualy lazy that they PAY someone else to write the pithy comment.
I like the funny ones...cleverness gets extra points (though, it's almost a necesity in light of the sticker real estate). THey sometimes make me chuckle and lighten my day. But throw in politics? Yeah...we get it...you're smart because you think politician-du-jour sucks.
Seems to me the only reason for political bumper stickers is the same as throwing up a pro sportsteam logo. Sad state of AMerican politics...it's all about choosing a team. Go OBAMA! I'm a Dubya fan! Go Lakers!
Just my 2 cents. Sorry. I get wordy on the internets. ha
TO answer the questionI don't remember anything funny enough to add to this thread. Like i said...most give me a chuckle...and thats pretty much it. Some of the ones in this thread I've seen and smiled at. I like the cell phone ones. I have no stickers on my cars, looks tacky on them and it doesnt match. But on the VX, I have the non-statement variety. crossed sabers and a tank, a ducati emblem,an NRA sticker, and a diver down (scuba) flag. Been wanting a bantha skull or star wars empire crest (because I"m a stormtrooper!) Lame, i know...just think the wordy ones look lamer
To completely kill my high horse, the last sticker I chuckled at: [VULGARITY ALERT] "Jesus is my copilot, and we're cruising for [chicks]."
