bumper stickers, signs, and more...

[freebird]

not sure where to post this, but i saw 3 bumper stickers this morning that made me angry enough to seriously consider speeding up for the sole purpose of flipping off the driver. unfortunately, (or fortunately?), i'm a pansy, and just stewed in the car, trying to cheer myself up listening to dane cook on xm.

anywho.

here they are:

1. "it's god's job to judge the terrorists, it's our mission to arrange the meeting"

2. "i didn't climb to the top of the foodchain to become a vegetarian"

3. "the word of the day is legs. spread the word."

i dont even need to comment on these. it's just too obvious.

have you seen any bumper stickers or advertisements that have made your skin crawl?

[purrpelle]

yes. yesterday I saw a car with 2 seniors in it with a printed sign in the back window:

"Crush Muslims"
"Deport Aliens"

"GOD bless America."

:spew:

wow....that's amazing...

my favorite advertisement so far: miller lite's "man law"..."you poke it, you own it." i have boycotted them.

[Shantih]

I can't recall ever seeing a bumper sticker over here, and by the sounds of those I'm quite glad :stinkeye:

[Tuffenoughtoroc]

I actually parked next to a truck when I went to work that said "The West wasn't won on eating salads," and I have seen one that said "We like vegetarians, they make us laugh," at an omni restaurant.

I boycott Miller because they make crappy beer.

I always appreciate the irony of a ratty, faded out bumper sticker with a U.S. flag on it that says "These Colors Don't Run".

This bumper sticker things seems very odd. I've never seen any bumper stickers where I live, I wonder if it's an American peculiarity.

I wonder what "i didn't climb to the top of the foodchain" means - has that person lived through the whole human evolution or something? He/she must be really old.

No kidding. I'd like to toss Mr. Top of the Food Chain into a cage with a tiger or a bear and see how he does.

I think the whole "food chain" idea is kinda 19th century....

My bumper magnet says "Proud to be Vegan."

No bad reactions yet...

I was driving to work one day, and this car in front of me had a bunch of animal rights & vegan stickers. I drove up on the side of the lady and gave her a big thumbs up! :up:
And she gave me one back! :D

It made me happy for the rest of the day.

...I can't think of any anti-veg stickers right now, but there was an advertisement for a steakhouse or something that said, "We like vegetarians. More meat for us!" or something along those lines.
I thought it was funny!

[vggiegirl]

The legs one..spread the word...is pretty funny.

It takes a lot more than a bumper sticker to offend me. That whole freedom of speech thing and all.

I have "Vegetarianism Beats Your Meat" from veggieboards. But the beating meat reference is probably offensive

Those are neat: I like the neuter is cuter one-- catchy.

[Tuffenoughtoroc]

My bumper sticker says "I heart carbs."

Haven't seen too many offensive bumper stickers. Mainly arrogant American ones.

Dream on guys.... Ad execs are the new geeks :sick:

In Australia, I don't think an ad like that would get past the planning stage...it kind of bottoms out the offens-o-meter :)

[Dirty Martini]

one of the people on my street has one:

"nuke their ass
take their gas"

doesn't really bother me though. MOre like an "oh brother"

[freebird]

maybe i'm just easily offended...i can't stand people using their freedom of speech to oppress people based on gender, race, sexual preference, and i especially hate the american 'pride' ones that center around killing people.

i had one that said, "meat is murder" and one that said, "real men are kind to animals," but they were both ripped off my car. that was when i lived in texas. big flippin' shock.

[purrpelle]

well, that's what freedom of speech is. if we all used our freedom of speech to say only nice things we wouldn't need it.

I don't get worked up over a bumper sticker. shocked, rolly-eyed but there are much better things to get angry over than what someone else thinks.

Bumper stickers are tacky.

yeah, you've got a point. stupidity, bigotry, and small mindedness are just things that get me worked up, regardless of what form they come in. my biggest pet peeves, really.

[Sevenseas]

Supporting free speech doesn't mean that you can't be upset about the expression of it.

[purrpelle]

I'm not saying she shouldn't get upset- everyone is entitled to their feelings. i'm just saying I tend to get upset by what people DO rather than what they say (especially if it's written on a bumper sticker)
