Hippies and Axe Murderers
by Slack, on October 16th, 2008
So, I’m driving to work today, listening to You Look Nice Today (a journal of emotional hygeine), and I’m taking note of all the political bumper stickers. Let’s face it, putting a political bumper sticker on your car is kind of a douchy thing to do (hopes none of his friends are guilty of doing douchy things). Let me explain… Ok, perhaps douchy is not the right word. I think I just wanted to say douchy. More to my point it’s a dumb thing to do. … But, that’s not quite as colorful… Let’s explore.
First, nobody cares. Guess what, you aren’t swinging the vote with your bumper sticker. Most of them aren’t even entertaining! I mean, at least make it so the rest of us can get a laugh out of it. Something like, “Save the Drama for Obama!” or “I’m a Maverick, Bitches!” You know, something other than, “McCain ‘08″… Wheee!
Second, 95% of you aren’t going to remove these stickers after the election, and THATS when it becomes a douchy thing to do. Now you are just driving around in an old car…. You know?
Ok, but, I digress… That was not the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make — which is more of an observation than a point — is when I looked at the Obama cars, they all looked like hippies! You know, the steroetypical-just-smoked-a-joint-hippie. Those cars also had a shotgun blast of other opinionated stickers on their cars too… All the McCain cars had intensely serious and focused looking people. But, not intense and focused like they were concentrated on being good drivers. It was more intense and focused like they had a body in the trunk. … Just a random morning observation for you guys…
Have a great Thursday!
My my my.. How quickly we change. :)

It’s nice to see that someone else thinks bumper stickers are dumb. When you see Clinton for President stickers or Bush it tells you that they owner doesn’t own a hairdryer to take it off, or they truly are living in a time warp. Geez!
