Anyone else have a visceral reaction when you see a W04 sticker on an SUV?

[kohodog]

I've never experienced anything like this before, and it bothers me that I'm reacting this way.

[Kukesa]

1. Yes. I want to puke; I'm sick of those stickers. n/t

[Bronco69]

2. I always have an urge to pull up beside them and

flip them off. But I restrain myself and figure the country is full of idiots.

[kerryin2004]

3. It makes me feel like a kid again..

after the first time I tried Red Man chewing tobacco and I was sicker then a dog..I do try and be nice, smile, wave, and then pass them so they can see my Kerry sticker on the back.

[riverwalker]

4. I snarl and make gutteral noises

my face gets all contorted, it's an intinctual reaction. Can't get any more visceral than that. I was not even aware of how intense it was until my granddaughter asked why I was making faces at that car.

[BeFree]

5. Yep

Saw on the other day and actually had my keys out of pocket and began a fake keying of the damned sticker. Shocking reaction that I'll not soon forget.

Now, if they do steal this election, I worry about the possible severe reactions.

[Tamyrlin79]

6. Makes me want a big red permanent marker...

to transform the sticker into a "No W" sticker by dawing a big red circle with a line through it.

[loudestchick]

19. Me too!

I want to do it to yard signage too...but, I'm not going to sink to that level!!!

[Justice]

41. Me Too Too.

[Nlighten1]

43. Or...

"W"ar
"W"rong

[Spiffarino]

7. Yes, and it fits so perfectly

...with their "I got mine; screw the rest of you" mentality.

For every small car or mini-van I have seen with a "W" sticker, there are probably 20 SUVs. My daughter and I did a random count on a walk through town and on the drive there and back. Every vehicle that had a BC04 or a W on it was an SUV - there wasn't a pickup truck, passenger car, mini-van, or small car among them.

[SOS]

40. Could SUV

stand for "supports Usama vehicle"?

[Spiffarino]

42. Nice!

I always thought it meant "Small Unit Vehicle"

[ilovenicepeople]

50. I always thought it meant"Stupid Urban Values."

I tend to cringe at the sight of any SUV.:scared:

[NMDemDist2]

8. nah, the two Kerry stickers on mine balance them out

:evilgrin:

[emulatorloo]

9. Worse when W is on a Hummer H2, the Bush Tax-Cut Suburban Assault Vehicle

EOM

[kohodog]

15. Anyone considered a sticker to put under the w-04

Like:

Fuck the Poor
Four More wars
Finishing the work they never started
If we're evil it's news to us
Taxes aren't for everyone

I'd love to add a little reality to their lives.

[MessiahRp]

47. Put one of these over it

10. would you feel the same if it were a K/E sticker?

I have three K/E stickers on my SUV. I get some what annoyed to the reactions on SUV in DU. Not that I should have to explain but I have one because of convenience. It is not a Hummer or one of those gigantic 8 person things. It is a six cylinder which seats 5 comfortable and has a cargo hold in back. I have a kid who along with her friends takes up that space and we also have a big dog who rides in back. I am constantly doing thing around the house which require hauling materials such as flowers, shrubs rocks etc from the home improvement stores and gardening places. It has saved me from spending money to get things delivered. Also live in a snowy, mountainous part of the state and have to get to places like work and clients whether the weather is good or bad.

[kohodog]

17. Didn't mean to pick on SUV's

It's just that sometimes it seems like they are factory installed. I have the same reaction when I see one on a Toyota.

[sadiesworld]

26. Hummers are in a class all their own.

On edit: It helps to remember the original post when responding.

Yes, people have legitimate reasons for owning SUVs.

But I question the need for a Hummer.

[WMliberal]

35. depends. I don't mind it on my friend's mom's SUV

A gigantic Denali. 12 mpg...
But she actually needs it, since she's an archaeologist and typically carries beaucoup tools, artifacts in it.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. I flip them off every time

But then I flip off every W sticker I see, and yard signs too.

[Warpy]

12. Only because the little bitch driving it was cutting everybody off

in traffic. Otherwise, I know the stupid will always be with us. Make them aggressive and stupid, and I want to ram them.

(of course, I'd just be helping Darwin along, you understand)

[libbygurl]

13. Makes me want to hurl. MOST huge gas guzzlers that bear stickers...

...have the exact, same "W" sticker on them, too. The B-C stickers are all uniform, just like their lockstep (goosestep?) manner of "thinking"!

[bleedingheart]

14. I see Kerry/Edwards stickers on SUV's and Pickups as well

and it balances it out...

Sorry but SUV owners aren't all republicans. I know a few outdoor types including hunters, kayakers and naturalists who favor SUV's to go out into the backwoods...

[arwalden]

16. I Flip Them The Bird As I Drive By

Your visceral reaction is not unusual. I think it's normal and healthy.

[hiphopnation]

34. E tu, Alan? n/t

[luzdeluna]

18. Better than a finger...

... last week my neighbors Great Dane jumped his fence and ran across the street and peed on a Bush '04 lawn sign.

I now keep a big box of Milkbones at my front door.

[hatrack]

36. GOOD DOG!!!

Yeah, good boy!!!

[newyawker99]

39. Hi luzdeluna!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[gulliver]

20. I think it's good for Kerry.

Put a W04 sticker on a threatening, gas guzzling SUV and get some asshole to drive around intimidating and cutting people off. Where is Kerry going to get better advertising than that?

[diamond14]

52. didn't know what it was....saw a few and thought it was a European

Canton sticker...then someone told me that it was for bush*...and I laughed out loud....how stupid....people don't even know what it is....

what better way to advertise a candidate than to have NOBODY know what it means.....typical reTHUGlicans....only other reTHUGlicans know what it is, and even they don't know....stupid advertising....typical bush*, STUPID....

[Cat Atomic]

21. Yep.

The other day I was behind a huge Excursion... or whatever the really enormous SUV is called. Huge thing. It had a sticker that said "I support our troops in Iraq". I was like, "no shit you do- vroom vroom".

I couldn't help but picture a fox with a "free range chicken is best" sign around it's neck.

[BiggJawn]

22. No, a "Digital reaction"

I make the "You gotta little DICK" sign at them. Even the women. Doubt they're smart enough to reflect on their latent penis envy, but oh, well, if they were smart they wouldn't be using an Urban Assault Vehicle to go to "Curves" anyway...

Justify your UAV any way you please, you'll never convince me that you drive it for anything other than the thrill you get from driving the next biggest thing on the road.
You should seek help for that condition, before it escalates and you trade your Exploder for a Navistar CVT....

I'm still aghast at the quote under the picture of the H-2 in the "Peak Oil" issue of National Geographic:
"...Besides, anything I bump into, I WIN..."

[Eye and Monkey]

45. "even the women" - ROFL

[Mrs. Overall]

23. They have made "W" into a symbol of all they believe and I find this

very disturbing. It reminds me of a swastika or a cross, where just a simple symbol carries such emotional and idealogical weight.

It is more black and white, simplistic thinking, like summing up the complete war on terror by saying, "They hate us for our freedom," and sadly, many non-thinking people buy this. They have now packaged "W" in this same way, and I think it is a disturbing trend.

[Cat Atomic]

25. I've thought the same thing. The "cult of personality" quality is eery.

[Mr E McSquare]

24. No not really....

I think to myself how its like a neon sign that screams I"M A STUPID FUCKING IDIOT!!!!

[graywarrior]

27. Same here. I see them as drivers with low IQ's so I steer clear.

[LibDemAlways]

28. When I see one in a parking lot

I'm always tempted to write "ANOTHER IDIOT FOR" on a post-it and sitck it above the chimp sticker. But I figure these people are already advertising their stupidity with no help from me.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

29. Yup

Makes me want to print our photos and bios of all our soldiers who have been killed in Iraq, and attach them to the windshied with a "Are you happy that this poor Latino kid from Arizona died so you can drive this behemoth?"

[leftofthedial]

30. I have developed tendinitis

in the middle fingers of both hands

[drdtroit]

31. I have a visceral reaction when I see an SUV

period.

It is a crime to have these big pieces of shit gobbling up gas, generally fucking up the traffic flow and killing inocent drivers in their normal automobiles.

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. It's not pretty.

I totally lose it. I think my husband thinks I'm nuts. :7 I can't help it! i makes me so angry that there's even ONE person in this country who supports that asshole. I was on the interstate one day and actually gave the thumbs down as I passed someone who had a W 04 sticker. First time I've ever done that.

I hate those people. I just hate them. I admit it.

[Delarage]

46. I hate them, too.

And I can't help it, either. It kills me to think that they've made me be hateful like them, but they're ruining this country.

I generally try to get in front of them and make the suffer with my Kerry-Edwards stickers.


P.S. I have an urge to run over Bush-Cheney signs near the side of the road, but I haven't done it yet.

[hiphopnation]

33. Why?

It's a perfectly sound and reasonable reaction in the face of such myopic overwhelming greed and ignorance. You reaction is spot on and the only thing for it is a dose of DU, some Pepto Bismol and a good Sci Fi feature that tries to accurately paint future Earth as some decimated industrial wasteland, which is what it will be if these dipshits win. You're fine. :bounce:

[Cleita]

37. I stifle the urge to

get some red tape and put one of those little circle/slash things on it that means no W04.

[GoneOffShore]

38. If it's parked

I get out my stash of Avery labels printed with the following message.
Oops, somebody put a Bush/Cheney sticker on your car.
Vote Democrat.

[dietdpfan]

44. Excellent idea!

I wish I were that creative.

I might try that. There are a lot of SUV's with those stickers on them so I will try it.

edit: stupid spelling error

[robertpaulsen]

48. I really hate VIVA BUSH. The fuck does he think he is, Che Guevara?!

:puke:
:puke:
:puke:

[tinanator]

54. sported by white folks looking for sucker votes

saw one yesterday. how transparent and desperate.

[MODemocrat]

49. Supporting Bush seems obscene to me

He's going down anyway, so they're riding a loser. I am amused by those who sport around in their SUVs. Being a loan officer at a savings and loan, I witnessed the way most of the applicants who drove those big gas hogs, were in debt up to their hocks and could barely qualify for a real estate loan. They truly set their priorities a lot differently than most of us; hence supporting Bush.

:crazy: :eyes: :boring:

[mmonk]

51. Absolutely

My blood presure for sure goes up. I've never really felt this way before (can't even remember feeling this way during Vietnam). I don't think its entirely healthy but I can't help it.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

53. I start talking toward the vehicle and hope they can read lips....

...because I cannot remember when I've been SO pissed off.

[Bluebear]

55. It bothers me more on an '86 Geo Metro

With a mom and 3 kids pulling out of WalMart...
