1. Good idea...
I'm not promoting vandalism but everytime I see one of those I feel the urge to grab some spraypaint.

:evilgrin:

2. Great. I have been thinking about carrying a black marker
since I am in Texas a lot. And draw a circle with a cross through it whenever I see a bumper sticker. Is that illegal? Also, buying some of those B** Cheated and put it on top of the other one so it fits exactly. Is that illegal? I mean, in that case you are giving the person something, right?

4. If you put it where they had a sticker, they couldn't claim you
vandaled their car - there was already a sticker there!
And, you're not stealing, you're giving.
I wonder how many miles they would drive before noticing they've gotten the present.

LOL!

8. Yes, it's illegal.
My understanding is - it's called "tagging" and in most places, not very serious. Misdemeanor?

10. Techically, the car is not your property, so it would be vandalism.
Though, as a misdemeanor, it would hardly be worth having CSI run your prints.

I personally don't think this is a good idea, just because it engenders hatred. What we need in America is to regain the notion that the states are united. Recognizing the cultural gap that currently exists, we should endeavor to bridge the gap rather than blow it up.

I personally have joined a local church. Granted, it's the most liberal church I could find, has a woman pastor, a membership of mostly lesbians. and I applied as an employee, but that's what it took for me to stomach the hypocrisy that surrounds the institution of Christianity in America. I'm taking lemons and making lemonade, as Tammy Fae Baker has so wisely counseled us.

Being pro-active means making friends, not enemies.

No offense to you, Laura. I'm just addressing your topic. I'm glad to be on the same side of the fence with you. :)

18. Hatred is GOOD
We need hate. Hate will destroy them like nothing else.

14. May or may not be illegal.
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 10:40 PM by D__S
Fucking with other peoples personal property? WTF's wrong with you? How old are you?

Wow... a misplaced "sticker" and/or Magic Marker hit...

Way to go, dude... that will bring the troops home.

If that's what rings your bell and passes for passive protest... then go for it. Just don't be surprised if you lose a few teeth if you get caught in the act.

You'll get no sympathy from me.

24. Don't do it
It's childish, immature, and I would assume it's illegal.

Someone once put a "Sportsmen for Bush" sticker on my car. It felt like someone was violating my property and pissed me off greatly.

Liberals should be above defacing other's property (though I know that the property is already defaced having a "W" or "Bush/Cheney" bumpersticker).

I personally like the idea of getting a "W" sticker and either having an "F" next to it, or a "W" and an "F before and after the "W".

5. in answer to your question
YES!!!!!!!!!! In fact my daughter went ballistic when she saw one in HOllywood one night. I had to tell her 'Not here'; she was so livid.

i hope your stickers get lots of circulation.

6. Those things really creep me out.
Especially the big flags they had at some of the election parties. Does anyone else see how incredibly fascist they look?

9. Why not just get another sticker.....
...with an anchor on it and stick it underneath the other.

W + Anchor = Wanker!

26. Stickers...
... are available at cafepress.com. Also, mugs, mouse pads, etc - you get the idea:)

And BTW - "Smug" is the perfect word to describe that #$%#$ W sticker!

12. I made one that says . . .
W
ORST
PRESIDENT
EVER

I used Quark and then printed it, then trimmed it with scissors and put it on my car with 2-inch clear cellophane tape. I'd save it as a .eps or .jpg and show you the actual bumper sticker here, but I don't know how to do that. Just imagine the black background, the big white "W" and the "ORST PRESIDENT EVER" in small white capital letters underneath it.

13. It's really sad
The "W" was a perfectly good letter. Now, however, i'm beginning to hate it; I almost see it as hate speech.

16. Yeppers, You Nailed It
I've got one of the last KERRY-EDWARDS stickers showing, on the back window, driver's side. It hasn't faded and is neatly placed and displayed.

In the past week there have been two, totally stereotypical Ws irritated: Both were SUVs, with older white, clinically obese males. The one that was most smug was with his wife driving. They pulled up even to me (so I didn't know the W was in play), and the old dude, who looked like a LIMBOsevic clone, looked down from his perch into my window with a pitying, disdainful look, something like from right before the French Revolution. Then they pulled away, pacing themselves so that their W would be in evidence. At the next light I pulled up even with them and beat time with the radio, looking straight ahead and smiling away. They pulled off in a huff.

21. How about
'W'hat 9/11 warnings?

with the huge "W" and small wait-to-get-closer text for the rest.

22. I think from now on, both sides
in each election will send out millions of mini stickers like the W ones.

They've got to be the most used political bumper stickers ever.

And yes defacing someone else's property is illegal, not to mention childish. If the W is next to an NRA sticker, it could be dangerous too.
