Thread Name: BS: American Bumper Stickers
Subject: RE: BS: American Bumper Stickers
I'm surprised that bumper stickers are still so popular in the U.S. They made sense when bumpers were chrome-plated, and a sticker wouldn't ruin anything on the car. Now, most bumpers are painted plastic, and I imagine bumper stickers would ruin the paint (or at least stop it from fading evenly. Even though I support the idea whole-heartedly, I think a Democratic and Proud of It bumper sticker would make it hard for me to sell my used car to a Republican...
But then, Republicans probably wouldn't buy a car from me, anyhow. What would they want with a car that gets 35 miles per gallon and doesn't take up a lane and a half on the freeway?
