While we’re on the topic of dumb bumperstickers, rather than me and my brilliant OP (and why aren’t we? ) how 'bout the utterly idiotic one:
Mean People Suck
Um…well, duh.
Way to take a stand on a morally tough issue, dude. How 'bout going out on a limb and saying “Hitler was bad” or “Nun-Beating is wrong”? (Of course, if this is some sort of bitterly ironic commentary or a riff from a movie or something, I’m gonna be embarrassed. But at face value, it’s possibly the most vapid bumpersticker in the history of mankind…um…with the possible exception of Nuclear war hurts people and other living things. :rolleyes:
The other one that just drives me bugfuck and if I were a psycho, I’d follow people with this bumpersticker until they got out of their car and beat them with a baseball bat with nails in it whilst making them repeat “Being smart is GOOD” over and over. (Lucky for everyone, I’m as gentle as a lamb, innit? ) :
My kid beat up your honor student or the even less charming varient My kid beat your &@*#ing honor student 'till he cried (which I just saw on a trip to New Mexico).
What kind of asshole denigrates intellectual achievement? Like I said: if I weren’t the soul of gentility (and I am) I’d happily commit acts of grevious violence against these troglodytes.
Wow, I forgot all about this thread. You know, I think my first post on the previous page is one of the best I ever made on the boards. And on this page: one of the worst.
Fenris the anti “my kid is an honour student” bumper stickers are not against a respect for inteligence, they are against the fact that someone is so conceited that they would put a sticker on their car saying their kid does well at school. It would be all right if the good kid stickers were all for significant achievements, but they seem to be available for just about anything.
(My current car has a rainbow squiggly and a plush Stitch in the rear window. My old car, however, had a rainbow license plate in the front, a pink triangle with rainbow beads hanging from the rear view mirror, and a pink triangle, rainbow sticker and rainbow cowboy boot [plus a UU sticker and SCA sticker] on the back. It was called the Fagmobile. I used to joke that I was going to paint a charicature of Oscar Wilde on the roof so that low-flying aircraft would know I was a homosexual.)
