Sticker lampoons new state slogan

[atommom]

Some political-minded Lawrence residents are having a field day with the state's new advertising slogan, "Kansas: As big as you think."

Concerned about the state's push toward a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, a Lawrence attorney this month printed and began distributing thousands of brown and yellow bumper stickers with the phrase "Kansas: As bigoted as you think."

"I guess I just wanted both to have a voice in this and to provoke people to think, because I don't want to see discrimination written into the constitution of my home state," attorney Jennifer Newlin said.

Newlin ordered 2,500 of the bumper stickers and has sold about a third of them. She said she was selling them in bulk locally and wanted to distribute them statewide.

1. How about:

"Kansas: We don't suck, as long as you live in Lawrence"

Anything's better than "The Land of Ahhhhs". I mean, come on..
