Leon,
Haha, yeah. At the bottom of the magnet it should say “(Soon to be replaced by something that looks better on my Hummer.)”

Allen,
Oh no! Not Negativland again! I normally only have to hear about them when someone mentions U2.

Alden,
Don’t talk about my mom that way! (Just kidding, my mom never received one of those bumper stickers. She didn’t have to worry about looking like she was in denial later.)

i also don’t like the “Proud parent of a XXXX Middle School 6th Grade Honor Roll Student.” it’s like when a parent clings onto the one good thing their kid did before resorting to a life of crime…. “But but but… they were in honor roll in 6th grade!”

I agree in the extreme with what you stated.

Given that, “Puns are the lowest form of humor.” and “Bumper stickers are the lowest form of self-expression.”, I think you might actually spill some blood when you see bumper stickers with puns on them.

I’d like to at this time advocate the use of one of my favorite bumper stickers of all time, which would likely get a person a lot of attention at this point in time. The bumper sticker says, “Car Bomb.” It’s from Negativland, and I think it should have an exemption from being the lowest form of self-expression.

worse than bumper stickers are those bumper magnet ribbons.

“Support Our Troops”

what it is really saying:

magnet == not that committed… empty gesture… “I don’t want to ruin my paint job”

regarding your second observation. Any one who doesn’t carpool, but drives a hybrid with one of those carpool stickers is a schmuck.
