ok, i keep seeing yellow ribbon magnets SIDEWAYS
...so that they look like yellow Jesus fish. Usually on an SUV, so they can't claim to not have enough metal to accomodate them.

3. I figure it is so
people can read the "Support Our Troops" slogan. Mine is verticle, like it is supposed to be.

4. I saw a really disturbing Jesus-fish - it was eating a smaller fish
Seriously. I was one the highway, and tried to get close enough to see what the smaller fish symbolized - couldn't. But it was clear that the bigger fish was a Jesus-fish, and it was clearly eating a smaller fish.

I find that...regrettable.

And yes, I think you're right that some folks put the yellow ribbon sideways to mimic the Jesus-fish.

6. Jesus fish, baby on board, window flags, magnetic junk
how about the cute little stick figure representations of the freeper family with little dogs and birds for the back tinted window of the SUV?

Where does this shit come from?

11. Thanks for the explanation of the "freeper family" stickers!
I have seen them, but I had no idea wtf they were. I thought they were some sort of code or something - I have seen some cars with these stick figure freepresentations of kids and pets all the way across the back window.

12. Those things must be everywhere!
I don't know where they get them. It was like the first year that people used the icicle lights at Christmas.

13. lol!
I noticed that about the icicle lights a few years ago - you just weren't "in" unless you decorated with them. Same thing with those spiral trees.

10. They probably "fit" better that way.
No conspiracy.

15. I thought they did that so they could read it
It does get confusing trying to read something that's tilted. :P
