Ever since I’ve started participating in iPhone Photo Phun, it’s like the craziness has come out of the woodwork, begging, “Take my picture and post it! Puhleeze!!!”
And for some bizarre reason, for me, this craziness tends to come in the form of bumper stickers. I cannot explain it.
Anyway, these are the gems I found this week.
You’d expect to see this kind of sticker on the Honda you drove in high school, covered in Grateful Dead bears and on its 10th owner, but not on a late model Acura. I saw this one while driving, so of course I tailed the car to a stop sign and got a picture. iPhone Photo Phun has me freaking out drivers all over metro Charlotte. Seriously. And yes, I tweeted it. But not while driving, of course.
Next up:
Braking for moose. Not all that much of a gem on its own, but let’s zoom out a bit, shall we?
Why, yes, that IS a McCain/Palin sticker above the “Brake for Moose” sticker. Perhaps my memory is hazy, but I seem to recall Palin bragging in 2008 about being the only Presidential candidate who was able to field dress a moose. I’m no hunter, but my understanding of field dressing is not that you put clothes on a moose in a field. It’s more of a knife-wielding thing.
So what message are these two stickers sending? I’m confused because first, you don’t get a lot of moose in North Carolina. Assuming you were to encounter one, though, I think the owners of this minivan want you to slam on the brakes and swerve.
So they can get out and shoot it.

Seems perfectly logical, no?

HA! I think you have a fair assumption here. People and their bumper stickers…Ugh. They just never come across as intelligent sounding no matter what.

That is a great idea. And the Palin irony too funny. The funniest one i’ve seen around here is “Python: the new white meat.” ugh.

That Honda looks to be in pretty good shape! I don’t get that sticker at all.
JamieAnne says
Ha! People are funny.

These things crack me up.

Iphone Photo Phun! FUN! Cute pics. I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago and I seriously can’t imagine how I functioned with that crappy Blackberry. It’s mystifying!
