Actually, I didn’t make it. I got it from a thread on the Something Awful forums, but I don’t even know if the guy who posted it there was the one who made it originally or not.

Will somebody think up one that is FUNNY?

Give me a break. You all are too desperate, and will laugh at anything as long as it slams McCain, Palin. Is it possible that ALL presidential bumper stickers were this unfunny and I never noticed until this year?

Get funny, or I will be forced to look elsewhere for my amusement, which I know you don’t want!:eek:

Hell, throw McCain/Palin in there somewhere and I’d laugh at _that_!😃

I’d say the quality is better, as all the bumper stickers I’ve seen are just the boring I’m voting for so and so type.

But anyways, I did find the earlier ones funny. The latter ones not so much. But I’m not sure that’s not because I was getting tired of the joke.

I can’t thank you enough for this. “Mooselini” made my day, if not my entire political year. I laughed so hard I thought I would herniate myself; it woke up my wife, who wanted to know what the hell I was going on about. When I told her, she cracked up, too. Just thinking about the name makes me chortle, and with your permission, I’ll be using it in future correspondence.

McCAIN (pig)  
PALIN (lipstick)

A series of “Lipstick and The Pig” T-shirts, as if it were a 70s-80s TV show (ala Jake and the Fatman, BJ and the Bear, etc.) might be cool. I’ll have to play with PhotoShop later.

I love you, **Sampiro**! In my head I hear it in a “get off my lawn!” voice.
