Ever Notice?

Posted by Ro on February 5, 2010

These stickers are taking over our society. They are an ingenious idea – prey on the modern American family to show their familial pride! No idea what these cost, but damn, they must be profitable.

There is a definite trend to the stickers you see above. I have only ever seen them on large SUVs and minivans. It may be worth noting that I have never seen a single person or a couple on the back window. I have, unfortunately, seen a couple with a dog. If Alli & I ever do such a thing with our puppies, please tell us how ridiculous we look.  Friends don’t let friends look like jackasses.

Just a little observation to get rolling.
