So essentially, in an oblique way, the bumper sticker is just another oblique way of saying “I’m white.”

This is dumb. I know several black people who were offended by Rev. Wright’s words. I thought they were stupid and racist, contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ and spit in the face of the ideals that America stands for (although I freely admit that we have not always lived up to those ideals), and it’s not because I’m white, it’s because they were stupid and racist and I don’t like stupid and racist things whether they come from blacks or whites.

I never understood the “God is my copilot” stickers. Excuse me, aren’t you supposed to be a follower of God? Isn’t he your Lord? So why have you relegated him to the subordinate role? Shouldn’t God be your pilot, Sparky?
I nominate that one for the “just not thinking it through” category.

I’ve seen “If God is your co-pilot - switch seats!” around here.

Haw. One of the very funny things in a very UNfunny movie–well, actually, it was in the outtakes, in the extras–Steve Hahn, the Funniest Human Being Ever, is adlibbing to nature footage. We see a Moose, and his voiceover is something like: “The Moose is a very stupid animal. In fact, if the moose had a Porsche, it would have a vanity plate that said, PORSCHE.”

Word. I’ve never understood why people get a vanity plate that merely repeats what their car is. “MY VETTE”, for example. Well, yeah. Of course it’s yours. You probably wouldn’t have paid for a vanity plate for someone else’s car.
If you do something clever with it, you’re exempt. “5TH ROK” on a Saturn. Clever. Or the guy in Salem with a black VW with the Batman logo painted on the sides with " BATBUG". Awesome.
I make a slight allowance if you put in the year, since not everyone knows years of cars by sight. But it’s still stupid, in my opinion.

Yeah, don’t tell me not to cut the throats of everyone I meet who is in any way different from me, 'cause anyone who’s in favor of peaceful coexistence is a self-righteous, preachy asshole who’s interfering with my right to believe in genocide.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don’t get the problem with the “Coexist” stickers. I don’t mean mine in any self-righteous way. I actually wish that people could coexist. It’s a sincere sentiment. I also have one that says, "All people are equal members of our ONE HUMAN FAMILY. ” It’s the Key West sticker.
If you do something clever with it, you’re exempt. “5TH ROK” on a Saturn. Clever.

Saturn would be the sixth rock, unless we’re not counting Mercury or something. And it’s not really a rock, either, if we’re really nitpicking.
I saw a vanity plate every day at school for years before figuring out what it was supposed to mean. “AUILOX” in a car driven by a blond woman. Clever and sneaky, that one.
“FOLLOW ME TO CERTAIN DEATH” stretching across the back bumper.
There was a radio station prank a few years ago where the crew had a guy driving around with “I DARE YOU TO PULL ME OVER” across his bumper. He was pulled over. A lot that day.

There’s a Maserati tooling about town with a license plate of DZ ONE 85.

Au is the periodic table symbol for “gold,” so decoded, it says “goldilocks.”

I used to see a car around a lot that had a “Question Authority” bumper sticker.
It made me want to print out and slap on a sticker reading “Why?”

One of my lesbian friends has a “What would Xena do?” bumper sticker on her car.
So naturally, I slapped a “Fuck Bush” sticker right next to it!

The plate owner’s error, or yours? Saturn is the “sixth rock” (assuming you’re not counting any of the satellites or asteroids) from the Sun.
