Saw a massively disgusting bumper sticker yesterday
It had a peace sign on it and the words "Footprint of the American Chicken"



I'm amazed that the concept of "peace" has come to have negative connotations to it.


Very, very sad.

15. Yep
Usually appeared in tandem with "I'm Not Fonda Hanoi Jane" or "America: Love It Or Leave It!". :puke:

5. And that's the meaning I derived from Chickenfoot, Sammy Hagar's new band.
Hagar is a right-wing asshole, so I'm sure that was the intent behind the band name and logo...

22. I tend to agree
A quote from the band bio page - "It's a silly name for a band -- and album -- that kicks a donkey's ass six ways to Sunday and back again."

You're right he is a complete a-hole.

8. That bumper sticker is ANCIENT
I saw it on many a pick-up truck here in TX, back in the late 60s--early 70s.

10. Well, that explains it
Along with the fact I was living in a small town at the time. :rofl:

Even when TX was a blue state, it had a real red state attitude.

13. That's an old one.
It was stupid in the 60's, and it's stupid now.

14. That's a sad relic of the Vietnam era
Seems like it has made an unfortunate comeback after 40 years.

20. The odd thing
about the peace sign is that lately and especially during the spring and summer, the peace sign was all the latest craze in fashion. It was everywhere. SO these idiots are way outnumbered.
