Car stickers you hate.

[donco6]

The sticker that makes me involunarily gag is the one with Calvin bowing to a Jesus cross. Having been a fan of Calvin and Hobbes, I just can't see it.

Of course, the less-ubiquitous-of-late "W" stickers are vomit-inducing as well.

NRA stickers make me wary.

Jesus fish of any variety make me snort. Especially on a smog-belching SUV. Jesus loves those.

Here in CO, we have "Respect Life" license plates - supposedly to remember Columbine, but really a bone for anti-choice types.

How about you?

[marmar]

1. Any of those W stickers...

I make a point of driving up alongside of people with those W stickers to give them a nasty, scornful, "How could you?" look.

[donco6]

2. I pull in front of them (when I can) . . .

so they can see my anti-W sticker.

[marmar]

6. That's a better idea...

I need to get an anti-W sticker.

[donco6]

12. They have some good ones at Carryabigsticker.com

No that's not a shameless plug! I just got some funny ones there a few weeks ago.

[Mad_Dem_X]

97. That's what I do, too

I try to get in front of them if possible and stay there as long as I can so they can read all of *my* stickers. :7

[Chiyo-chichi]

35. Saw a "w" sticker ahead of me

in my neighborhood yesterday and couldn't stop laughing. I guess I'm just in the Fitzmas spirit.

[Dulcinea]

118. "Happiness is a President with character."

Gag. :puke:

[theantirobot]

3. Fight Terrorism - Vote Republican

[donco6]

10. Gag, haven't seen that one.

I did see a banner on a funeral home the other day - big American flag with "Faith, Hope, Victory."

What does that mean, exactly?

[peacebaby3]

17. WOW!!! It's suppose to be CHARITY. This is a good example of how twisted

this country and the faux christians have become.

They have replaced charity with victory.

Dear God, save me from your faux followers!

[donco6]

41. Oh, that's right! Faith, Hope Charity.

Man, that is twisted.

[sinkingfeeling]

30. On a funeral home? What have faith we'll bury you? Hope you can

pay for it? And victory for death?

[donco6]

42. Snicker.

Hope you can pay for it. That's good.

Yes, it's on the mortuary at Logan and Alameda for anyone in Denver.

[Clark2008]

117. Well, with BushCo. in office, business booms for funeral homes.

Sadly.
2000 servicemen and women
100,000s Iraqi citizens
3000 WTC and Pentagon workers
1500 in Louisiana

And the thousands more from cuts in help programs.

[Flying Dream Blues]

4. There's one that says, "W" and "The President" underneath./

:puke: :puke: and :puke:

[LondonReign2]

36. Retaliate with

"F the President"

I have. :D

[donco6]

44. We had a flap in Denver with "F*** Bush" sticker.

A woman had one on her truck and a policeman told her she had to take it off. She, of course, refused. It was in the papers and on TV at the time.

[CottonBear]

5. Confederate flag stickers along with a W The President sticker.

:puke: I know it's a free country, but damn. Usually it's young, white, frat guys who have this particular combination of stickers.

[Dem Agog]

"God is Pro-Life"

I'm not religious, but I think it's the ultimate in sinful hubris for religious wingnuts to dare to speak what "God" is...

... And after Katrina, earthquakes, etc. I am not so certain that if there is a God, I'd believe she's pro-life either!

Dumbass bumper sticker.


Another creepy one I've seen here in Charlotte, on the back of a Mercedes no less: "Don't be fooled. My real reward is in Heaven."

I wanted to puke on that wingnut.

[Nikki Stone1]

66. Actually, God seems to be even money on life and death

I was going to put a note on someone's car to that effect, explaining that God killed as many as he gave life to--that inheritance pattern of death and all--but I got nervouse about someone tracking me down and charging me with some kind of crime.

[donco6]

93. Welcome to DU Nikki Stone1.

That's a great idea!

[Orrex]

115. I think he's demonstrably Pro-Choice, as a matter of fact

But I guess this isn't really Leak-related...

[kahleefornia]

7. Any "Calvin peeing" sticker

"It's a child, not a choice"

Magnet Ribbons. As if it weren't pretentious enough to think a ribbon on your car was going to help support anything, they have to make it a magnet so that there won't be sticker goo on the car when they have to change to the next "ribbon cause" that comes out.

Luckily, I don't see too many conservative stickers here in LA. Most are liberal, and many don't have any stickers at all because they don't want to mess up their luxury car.

[donco6]

16. Magnet ribbons are kinda dying out here.

I think their "stickyness" is fading and they're falling off in the car wash. Good riddance, IMO.

[BlueIris]

43. Yeah. Calvin peeing on the word "liberals" is what makes me the nuttiest

It's a nice personification of their juvenile attitude.

[Warren DeMontague]

81. I want Calvin Peeing on Calvin Peeing on Calvin Peeing etc etc etc.

Or Bill Watterson peeing on the words "Copyright Infringement"

[uppityperson]

119. Calvin peeing shows real class

not the kind of class I'm attracted too.

[ClusterFreak]

8. "Baby On Board"

...that one always gets me. It's like, "Oh, I see...you have an infant travelling with you. I guess I won't ram your vehicle through the intersection then!":crazy:

[zalinda]

27. The original reason for those is

you usually always keep your car seat in the car if you have a baby. When you get in an accident, if you have one of those signs on your car then the police can look for the child that may have been thrown from the car. So, you were supposed to put it up when a child is with you and take it down when the child is not there.

zalinda

[Warren DeMontague]

75. Now that I actually have the experience of driving a baby around

I have to say, anything that even has the remotest possibility of waking up some of the shitty-ass, obnoxious, self-centered drivers in massively outsized Trucks and SUVs to the fact that they are NOT the only living beings on the road, much less the planet-- strikes me as an eminently reasonable idea.

Nevertheless, I don't have one on my car- and back in the day when those things first started appearing, I thought they were absurd.. I think I used to have one that said "Deadhead on Board"

[hootinholler]

96. 15 years or so ago when they were really popular..

I saw one on a garbage truck. I wasn't sure if it was a political comment or a joke.

-Hoot

[WildClarySage]

9. My least favorite sticker ever was one I saw a few weeks ago.

It read: "Having an abortion doesn't make you un-pregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby."

Having had a miscarriage years ago, this made me feel a tad bit sad, and I can't imagine how someone who is dealing with a painful, recent pregnancy loss would feel seeing that. What a fuckwad! making a political 'point' at the expense of someone else's pain.

[donco6]

18. That's just plain old cruel.

But, not surprising.

[BlueIris]

46. Woah. That one is EVIL.

That may just top my worst anti-choice sticker ever ("Real feminists don't kill babies"). Maybe.

[HughBeaumont]

11. Right here - this one boils my BLOOD!

Uh, assholes? What blood is HE spilling? Has he ever served hour ONE in actual COMBAT?

[donco6]

23. Megapuke.

I haven't seen that one around here. Thankfully.

[HughBeaumont]

34. Seen it TWICE.

As if that simian unibrow is worthy of our sympathy, like he's going through SUCH hardship.

[donco6]

39. Yes, the poor dear.

Those mean lawyers and press people just keep asking him all those nasty questions. Make them stop, Unka Dick, make them stop!

[TahitiNut]

52. That's like saying "I Support the Rapist and His Victims"

It's fucking nonsense.

[lumberjack_jeff]

59. "I support Col. Sanders, AND the chickens" n/t

[LittleClarkie]

91. I'm going to get a bunch of magnets one of these days

that say "Sorry, you'll have to pick one." Or something along those lines.

[stanwyck]

13. Well, they do serve a purpose

Someone pulls up in front of my house with one of the mentioned stickers and I know NOT to buy the firewood they're selling, tree removal service, yard work...whatever.
And I'm more inclined to let you into my lane if you DON'T have one of those stickers.

[donco6]

24. Yes, me too.

Phone book ads with Christian fish symbols get passed over.

[CTD]

14. The worst (IMO)- "W stands for Women"

Jeez, lady, could you be any more ignorant.

[donco6]

26. In what alternate reality is that true?

Jeez, talk about doublespeak.

[Mad_Dem_X]

100. I was in Florida during the 2000 election...

And I remember driving past one polling place where a woman was standing outside with a "W Stands For Women" sign. Even back then, with little political knowledge, I couldn't help but groan, "Oh, puh-leeze!" :eyes:

[wellstone_democrat]

116. "yeah, I guess he is kind of 'femmy' when you think about it"

that is what my mother in law (!) said to an acquaintance during election season who pointed it out to her thinking m-i-l would agree.

We were hysterical because "femmy" didn't seem like a word she'd even know! She said: "I watch TV, I read, what's the mystery?"


loved it loved it loved it

[Cats Against Frist]

15. "these colors don't run"

Bravado at worst. Stupidity at best, i.e., would also go for the French flag.

[donco6]

29. Funny thing about those . . .

Red ink always fades (runs) in sunlight. So every time I see one of those stickers, I think, "they may not run, but it looks like they just fade away".

[Sabriel]

62. Try an alternative: "These colors don't run...the world."

I think northernsun.com carries that one.

[Loonman]

19. "The Street is not an Ashtray"

Fricking hippy...

[Warren DeMontague]

78. Actually, I agree 100% with that one.

I mean, I understand it costs extra to get an ashtray IN your car, but sometimes a little sacrifice for the common good goes a long way.

Not to mention the fact that some of us live in fire-prone areas. Always nice to see some pinhead toss a lit butt out a car window when it hasn't rained for eight months.

[tularetom]

20. Bingo - ditto with the "Calvin peeing" decals

There was a segment on one of the radio morning shows where they ripped those decals and most of the people who called didn't evem know who Calvin was or that there was a comic strip called Calven & Hobbes. Of course the type of people who would put a decal of Calvin and the cross or Calvin peeing on a Ford logo would not be the type of people who ever would have read C & H.

I also despise all types of Jesus fish and I've noticed that drivers who have them on their cars think it somehow protects them against harm no matter how stupidly they drive.

The magnetic support the troops ribbons don't piss me off quite as bad except when I see a car with 3 or 4 of them on it. WTF do they think - this means they support the troops more? Gimme a friggen break.

[donco6]

33. True about C&H.

Anyone who was ever a fan would know why the kneeling thing is preposterous. Completely antithetical to Calvin's philosophy.

[DrRang]

21. "Lubya, Dubya" with a heart. n/t

[kahleefornia]

51. that's really bad! ouch. nt

[Mad_Dem_X]

101. ((urp)) Pardon me while I throw up!

:puke:

[Jara sang]

22. The Hanoi Jane ones

Give me a fucking break already. Leave Barbarella alone!

[Mad_Dem_X]

102. I saw one that said "I'm not Fonda Kerry"

:wtf:

[datadiva]

25. An Army of One

Below that Support our Troops, now mind you, these are on a huge SUV.

[msrbly]

28. Two I've seen and hate:

"There are americans and there are liberals."
and
"Taliban <check>,Saddam Hussain <check> Trial Lawyers unchecked
Two down one to go"

As an american and a trial lawyers these are two I just can't stand!

[lonestarnot]

48. This one doesn't count when appointing Presiding Judge

for SCOTUS.

[Touchdown]

31. "Annoy a liberal. Go to work and be happy"

...or some shit like that. As if liberals don't work. Hell, I'm at work while I'm loafing on DU right now!;)

[davidinalameda]

53. you too huh

:bounce:

[PatriotGames]

63. Yeah, that one really bugs me. Like all I do is sit around at home all day

waiting for my welfare check to get here so I can go get a six pack.

[cbear70]

74. just saw that the other day

and it really pissed me and the hubby off. What the hell is that supposed to mean??? We have three jobs here and the repug we work with only has one and is so lazy..

[LynzM]

32. "Freedom Isn't Free"

To balance that, there's a great one that's often in the lot at school where I park:

"If you can't trust me with a choice,
How can you trust me with a child?"

[donco6]

37. I hate that one too.

Like Iraq has anything to do with freedom. If anything, it would make sense with an Iraqi flag, maybe.

[TimeChaser]

38. "Your mother was pro-life"

Funny... my mommy's very much pro-choice.

[peacebaby3]

40. I've seen one that looks like a hunting permit to hunt "libruls". The

sub-human that owns one of those has to be seriously demented.

Anyone have a picture of one of these?

I have just seen it on the back of a couple of vehicles.

[donco6]

45. Ugh. That's downright creepy. eom

[PatriotGames]

64. Any of these at this link...

http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff

[HughBeaumont]

95. "Backhanding the left into submission"

What is it with them and kinky sex?

I beg, BEG them to try and backhand us. Those 7th Cavalry Keyboarder's asses will be beaten unmercifully.

[lanlady]

47. "Charlton Heston is My President"

Of course, that was Clinton era but I still see it on pickup trucks in Virginia (nowadays though it gives me a chuckle).

[donco6]

50. That pushes the NRA sticker right over the edge.

I can only think of CH holding up that ridiculous old musket.

[RayOfHope]

99. I saw a new-ish looking one of these on a truck just the other day n/t

[ceile]

49. It's a child, not a choice.

The UN and Al Qaeda, the real enemies of the US.
My boss is a jewish carpenter.

[LibDemAlways]

54. I once saw "I'm Proud

George W. Bush is My President"

It was all I could do to keep from sticking a post-it on it saying, "You must be a bigger idiot than he is."

[proud patriot]

55. My calvin is whizzing on Fascism

:D

[donco6]

56. Now that I might go for.

:)

[proud patriot]

72. My husband's Calvin is whizzing on PNAC

you might like that one too

[tishaLA]

57. Calvin and the Cross?

Boy oh boy. Makes me happy I live in Los Angeles.

[donco6]

87. Oh yeah. They're everywhere here.

In Denver. I see them all the time.

[B Calm]

58. Actually I don't hate any of them. I get a kick out of people

open display of their stupidity.

[WA98296]

60. Oval shaped sticker with "W" for some reason really pisses me off.

[ryan_cats]

79. Me too.

I've had several cars pull in front of me this week and not even try to get out of the way, then I notice the W sticker. Grrrrrrrrrr!

If they're sporting a W sticker, suddenly, there's no room for them to get in front of me on the road. I know it's petty but A) They can never seem to be able to drive and B) Thanks for supporting a warmongering moran!

They might as well have a Nixon '72 sticker.

[mcscajun]

61. All the ribbons...all of them. All the Calvin peeing stickers...

Jesus fish, "W" stickers lacking the international "NO" Symbol, and the "Baby on Board" diamonds.

[Nikki Stone1]

65. I like the Jesus fish that has "'n chips" inside.

Then again, I like fried foods. :)

[1620rock]

67. Saw one of those

"Still voting Democratic? Your stuck on STUPID!" stickers that the Lush Windbag Ditto-Heads sport. :puke:

[donco6]

88. That would be GREAT!

I have to find one of those.

I have a "Born OK the first time" stickers to put on my car when I'm tired of the "/W Wake me up when it's over" sticker I have now.

[DoyBoy]

107. I have one that reads...

"Blasphemy is a victimless crime."
:evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

109. That's the one I want!

LOL!

Welcome to DU!
:hi:

[tallahasseedem]

68. These.

And the one with Reagan and Bush that reads "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys"

[tallahasseedem]

69. If you really want to be irritated...

go here: www.dirtyliberal.com

[Warren DeMontague]

82. Not irritated, just amused

That's what happens when you teach a twelve year old rudimentary photoshop.

[HughBeaumont]

94. Most. Retarded. Bumperstickers. EVER.

How the hell can anyone be THAT fucking stupid? HOW?

"My SUV can beat up your hybrid" The only thing your SUV is beating up, besides the environment, is your WALLET asshole.

"BAD Liberal! That's MY income" Yeah, being depleted over time for useless crap by the guys YOU voted in, not us.

"Imagine No Liberals" Yeah, I'm also imagining you working seven days a week for free with no benefits for the rest of your life, drinking nuclear water, eating disease-ridden bacon and dying in a car wreck because no communistic lib'ruls fought for safety standards. RETARD!!!

"We'll Fight For Freedom, You Play Your Guitar" Uh . . .uh . . . who WAS that guy strummin that guit-fiddle and laughin' up a hurricane while NOLA was in a sea of toxic water . . . oh yeah YOUR PRESIDUNCE, JUNIOR! Here's a dunce cap, now hold still while I nail it in your skull . . .

"There is no Traitor Liberals won't Defend" Well, let's see, there's YOUR PRESIDUNCE, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Libby, etc, etc.

"Support Capitalism Shop at WAL MART" Yeah, let's give ONE family ALL the cash and not MAKE anything in this country anymore. THAT'S going to make for a GREAT economy. Dickhead.

And so on and so on and so on . . . man, so much stupid on one web page. I've seen hate sites that show more intelligence than this tardster is displaying (that's the opposite of a compliment). Whatever gets you through the night, I guess.

[Thirtieschild]

70. Don't blame me ...

"Don't blame me I voted Bush" Saw that one constantly during the Clinton years, and long before Monica. Someone finally retaliated with "Don't blame me. I voted Carter."

[ComerPerro]

71. Support PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH and our troops

"Freedom isn't free"

"Its a child, not a choice"

and, my personal favorite

"Hippie Stomper"

[doc03]

73. Here's a fun idea, buy some no-W stickers

and when you see a parked car with a W 04 sticker on it cover it with a no-W sticker. Sit back a safe distance and watch the freeper go nuts.

[donco6]

86. I've been tempted . . .

but I'm not brave enough to do that! Honestly, when I see a W sticker, I think about taking a marker and drawing a slash through it!

[La Coliniere]

76. All of the above.

W, Still the President I find particularly appalling.

[alittlelark]

77. "Evolution is Science Fraud - fight it in your schools!"

It's on my Mom's car.

[Warren DeMontague]

80. I'm so sorry for you.

That would drive me nucking futs.

[donco6]

84. Now that's just sad.

I agree, I'm sorry!

[Mad_Dem_X]

104. Reminds me of one I saw a few weeks ago:

"Evolution: Fairy Tales for Grown-ups."

So, science is a fairy tale?????

[sepia_steel]

106. "Bush is a Gashole"

LOVE that one. :rofl:

[njdemocrat106]

83. W: Still the president

Along with the sticker that looks like the W'04 Wastika, except it says "Winner" on it. :puke:

[Steve L]

85. GET THIS!

I drove through Kentucky several weeks ago and was behind a Sheriff's cruiser with a bumper sticker that read-

OBEY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!

[donco6]

90. Interesting.

And that separates Church from State . . . ? Ugh.

[The Great Escape]

89. "Friends Of Coal", In WVa They Are Typically Accompanied By a "Wastika"

[donco6]

92. And not accompanied by . . .

Enemies of Environment?

[RayOfHope]

98. Of course there is the "Kick Their Ass and Take Their Gas" but also

"God Will Judge The Terrorists, But We'll Arrange the Meeting", with a nice big USMC seal at the bottom.

[greekspeak]

103. Florida has a "choose life" anti-choice plate

These plates have cute little crayon depictions of childrens' faces on them, and are a cute yellow color. 9 of 10 times, accompanying these are a big W sticker of some stripe. Why these plates are legal is beyond me. I am sure that if we all wanted a big "be nice to gay people" plate, it would be cursed.

[donco6]

112. I'm going to start lobbying for that one!

Be nice to gay people. LOL! That'll be the day. :sarcasm:

[sepia_steel]

105. "Republican women make great leaders -

you're following one right now!"



rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright.

[Steely_Dan]

108. Bill Waterson

I used to be a syndicated cartoonist...I know for a a fact that Bill Watterson is (was) totally against any marketing of his characters. In receiving his Reuben Award (cartoonist version of the Oscars), he lambasted other cartoonists for letting their characters be used in ads and other media...

So, I can hardly believe that he is pleased with seeing his characters used in the windows of cars showing Calvin (and/or Hobbs) doing a variety of things like peeing or bowing to a cross.

I often ask myself if he has ever filed suit against the people using his characters.

-Paige

[donco6]

111. I suspected that.

It certainly seemed incongruent with his characters.

I just saw an article about him the other day, AAMOF. He's really gotten into serious painting it seems, and is happy with his privacy. Good for him.

[Steely_Dan]

120. Wow....

I didn't know that he took up painting. I'm glad to hear that he is doing well.

When I sat in the audience at the Reuben, I couldn't believe how stinging his speech was. Instead of sounding gracious for winning the highest award a cartoonist can receive, he spent nearly thirty minutes brow-beating other cartoonists...Such as Davis (Garfield) who had his images on everything from band-aids to dish soap. He even noted how (the presumptive grandfather of cartooning) Charles Schultz had "sold out" to corporations. It was pretty ugly. He quit Calvin and Hobbs shortly after that. Certainly a man on his own trail...marching to a different drummer.

-Paige

[Minimus]

110. "Bush my Hero"

I saw it while traveling in MD a couple of weeks ago.:puke:

Also, a car with W sticker passed me the other day, it had another sticker: "if you can't feed'em don't breed'em"

I live in the South surrounded by compassionate conservative "Christians". :sarcasm:

[Leeny]

113. The Jesus fish is just plain tacky

I hate the Jesus fish. It's just tacky. Religious beliefs are personal and private and I don't understand people who have to broadcast them to the world. Maybe it's their own insecurity? Also, I've seen a number of small business owners that use the symbol in the business ads. You think that makes me more likely to call you to clean my gutters because your a "good Christian". Sorry to say, but it has the opposite effect. It makes me wonder why you feel the need to use your religion in marketing your business.

Tacky.

[donco6]

114. I agree.

A fish symbol on an ad always makes me suspicious. Shouldn't it go without saying that you will be honest in your dealings with people - regardless of whether you are a Christian or not? Do Christians have a corner on ethics? Snort.

[mzmolly]

121. "Abortion is the ultimate form of child abuse" and "Freedom isn't free"

:puke:

Uhm, how bout "WAR is the ultimate form of child abuse" and "Freedom isn't killing innocents for oil?"
