W

Posted by Eszter

We’ve discussed bumper stickers here before. A friend of mine recently said she’d like to find a sticker that is simply a W crossed out. I picture one of those country letter stickers, but with a strikethrough. By the way, no need to search aimlessly for your preferred fender decoration, there are services that allow you to make customized ones. I used one such service to create a Crooked Timber sticker:) and was happy with the outcome.

UPDATE: I couldn’t resist. Get your W oval bumper sticker, T-shirt, baseball cap and many other goodies here.

That is a very nice, elegant bumper sticker. Would make a nice T shirt and sweatshirt emblem, too.

In Bloomington, IN I’d not seen topical bumper stickers since 2001, that I recall. Now they’re proliferating, and literally not one I’ve seen is pro-Bush. “Re-Defeat Bush in 2004” I’ve seen 3 times this May. I don’t think the campaigns fully account for this phenomenon.

Excellent design. But you should definitely do the W in baby-stuff. I’m needing a few baby presents right around now.

Very neat; very cool. But for the fact that I’m a Republican, I’d buy one.

Fred, are you saying you’d prefer the baby stuff with the W instead of the cute helicopter design?
* sniff * ;-) I know, those helicopters are very non-political, they’re just cute (or maybe that’s just me..;). I can only post one design per item (unless I try their paying service, which I don’t think will be worth doing, I’m afraid). Maybe I could do one W baby item.. okay, done.

Brad, I don’t see the issue here.;) Seriously though, I have Republican friends (I know, perhaps shocking) who are definitely anti-W.

I saw one in Andover, Mass. where I live:

W (slash)—Let’s not elect him in 2004 either.

Perhaps it’s cliche, but I’d suggest offering, as well, the traditional circle with diagonal slash version. If even a few people prefer it, why not?

Good idea Gary, done.

Eszter-

I’ll admit that I’m considering political infidelity in November, but if it happens, it will happen secretly and furtively, in a little booth-like room with a machine. I can’t quite bring myself to broadcast my infidelity on my chest or my forehead, as aesthetically pleasing as the logos may be. Your side will just have to take when you can get from folks like me.

Home made political symbology is GREAT!, I heartily endorse this endeavor. I have two home made tee shirts these days, or rather Sharpie additions to store-boughts. One you have probably seen, it has Bush as a cowboy branding a jackass. On the back I put “W:TCB” An older shirt, a young Communists for Gore (you’ve got to see it to appreciate) I have added to the front “ABBK” I doubt that is too obscure for this intelligent scrum.

Excerpt: It were Crooked Timber who got me all fired up about bumper stickers, and now they direct us to the jackpot. My favorite is the one that says "BUSH: born on third base, thought he hit a triple."...Read more at McCord
