I think that bumper stickers are okay. How else can you advertise all of your beliefs and opinions to complete strangers? Personally, I am afraid to get bumper stickers. What if someone decides to rear end you and/or set your car on fire because they disagree with the witty phrase that is adhesively attached to your vehicle? But with my luck, I imagine that it might go like this:
Me: I love this bumper sticker! How could anyone not love this "Baby Dolphins are Cute" bumper sticker? I'm going to put it on my car and drive around so that everyone can see how much I love helpless baby aquatic mammals!
The One Crazy Guy on the WHOLE PLANET who hates baby dolphins: That woman has a bumper sticker that says she likes baby dolphins?!!?!? I eat baby dolphins for breakfast! Baby dolphins killed my family with their unbearable cuteness! I'm going to rear end her and/or set her car on fire!
So, you see how even the most innocuous things can lead to your car being set on fire.
With this in mind, I have to wonder about the wisdom of putting more than one bumpersicker, or a few at the very most, on the back of your car. First of all, it looks tacky and screams "I am either still in college or am pretending that I am!" Second of all, with each sticker you add, you increase the risk of someone wanting to set your car on fire:
Me: I'm going to put this "Giraffes are Nifty" sticker next to my "Baby Dolphins are Cute" sticker.
The One Crazy Guy on the WHOLE PLANET who hates baby dolphins: I WILL DESTROY HER CAR!
The One Crazy Guy who takes his lack of happiness out on giraffes: Giraffes are not nifty! I must teach her a lesson!
So... now there are two people who want to set my car on fire!!!
I guess I should think twice about adding that "The Duck Billed Platypus is Wicked Cool" bumper sticker:
Crazy guy who hates the duck billed platypus: How can it be wicked cool?? It isn't a reptile or a mammal! It needs to make up its damn mind!!!!
So, just keep the bumper sticker madness to a minimum people.
