Those car decals of the mean little boy peeing on <insert brand logo here>
Wouldn't it be interesting if the boy were a girl instead? :evilgrin:

1. Well girls can do it the same way
It's just most men don't know that.

2. Actually

That mean little boy is in most cases, Calvin, from the Calvin and Hobbes comic. Which actually confuses me how they can put him peeing on so many things. Are they just 'tweaking' Calvin to suit the gimmick or was he actually liscenced out for that crap?

...and yes a girl would be very cute and amusing. I'm sure people would find that a hundred times more offensive, which suits me just fine. :evilgrin:

5. Exactly!
In a male dominated society, seeing women doing the same things as men is often construed as offensive, even if the system is geared so they get paid less!

Personally, I think it would be a real hoot if a "Calvinette" was crouching over something, letting the whizz fly... Hmmm, Calvinette peeing on Calvin's pee-tube, now that would be quite the logo for some anti-men group, who I'd give real money to despite being a men just for having the guts to show it! :evilgrin:

3. Bill Watterson, who created, wrote and drew "Calvin and Hobbes"
didn't merchandise the strip beyond books of the strip, so all those stickers are illegal. Wish Watterson would sue. Those stickers are so ugly.

7. Yes, they are ugly!
And tasteless! And offensive!

I wish Watterson would sue, too. But not before someone comes out with Calvin peeing on a bush. ;-) (Or have they?)

8. Except that girls
don't need to crouch or squat...they can pee the same way as boys do.

Standing up and aiming forwards.

Actually the only time women sit down to do it...is at home.

9. Do they have one of a little boy
peeing on a bush? It would be a very subtle statement.
