Have any of you seen those stickers on cars that say “serial killer”? I see these things all over the place. Most of the time I’m pretty up on pop culture, but this is really stumping me. What the hell do these mean? Are they a brand name? Is it just shock value? What’s the deal? ---

Is “Serial Killer” the name of some musical group the youngsters are listening to? It never ceases to amaze me how many young drivers think it makes them “cool” to put a sticker on their car that says “Korn” or “NIN” etc. Do they think I really care if they like some certain band?
