Someone in my neighborhood has a bumper sticker that says, “God doesn’t believe in atheists”. It’s not offensive, just annoying, but then I realize that they were trying to be annoying and it worked on me, so then I’m extra annoyed. Bastards.
My wife has one like that, but it reads “God said it so that settles it whether we believe it or not.” I think it’s pretty stupid but not really offensive.
I find the fish eating the Darwin fish to be pretty ridiculous, maybe offensive.
I figured someone would try to make this point.
Fortunately, the company parking lot is their own private property, and the bumper sticker violated the company’s non-harassment rules. There was no “punishment” involved, so your point is wrong and vacuous.
But thank you for playing the “intolerance of bigotry is the same as any other intolerance” game. It never gets old.
And I actually have always interpreted it as “stand in front of our troops so they can shoot you”.
WOW is short for Whip Them Out Wednesday, which was a promotion by the radio hosts Opie and Anthony. The idea was that you put a WOW sticker on your car, and on Wednesdays women were encouraged to show you their breasts.
Yes, that was a thing that happened. Aren’t you sorry that you asked?
There was no harassment either, and I say that as a liberal who hates gun nuts and stupid bumper stickers.
I took the sticker to be calling for a firing squad for anyone who doesn’t parrot talking points based on military worship.
I took it as an unappealing invitation for pacifists. No thank you, I’m fine here on the sofa watching HGTV, and besides I’m pretty sure they don’t want me interrupting their work.
Yeah, this. It’s dripping with hostility and threats of violence if you don’t “support the troops” like they want you too
The bumper sticker violated the rules of the workplace, for being contentious, aggressive, offensive, divisive, insulting, and for using a vulgar word. I was right to report it, and they were right to ask it not appear in their parking lot, given that it is their own private property.
The Nazis have the right to dress up in uniform and parade publicly down the sidewalk. But they don’t have the right to walk into the Starbucks or McDonalds.
“I’m Ready for Hillary”-about as scary as they get.:eek:
“It takes a village to raise a savage.”
But how is it offensive? It doesn’t call anyone who’s not “ready for Hillary” names or anything.
Yup. That’s exactly what I meant. You said it better.
Most offensive, “Mike Hunt is on Fire!”, but “Not of This World” makes my stomach turn.
And how about, “In case of Rapture, this car will be abandoned.”
And you know those stick figures on the rear window which show members of the family? I saw one that showed a mom and dad and four kids, but one of the kids had a halo above her head!
“Earth First! We’ll log the other planets later.”
Okay, it made me laugh…
Way back in the day, during a weed smoking session, a few friends and I started talking smack. As the smack talk went around the room, the level of depravity increased. When it was over, we were left with: “My dead grandmother’s maggots can kick your dead grandmother’s magott’s asses.” This went on a bumper sticker that, I believe, 3 people on the planet owned. I was the only one who actually put it on my car. I used to really enjoy being stopped at a red light, and looking in the rearview mirror.
Ahh, those were the days.
There is a car in my apartment complex that has one of those bumper stickers that’s made of all religious symbols, but it reads “fictional”.
“My (dog breed name) is smarter than your honor student” Just obnoxious and patently false.
“No Fat Chicks” on a POS truck.
the nobody rides free version I remember goes “Gas, grass or ass: nobody rides for free”
I don’t know. I’ve known some very smart dogs, and some not so sharp honor students.
