An indecent proposal
January 14th, 2008Speaking of bad drivers, I just got done shopping today, and was in the far left turn lane making a left turn, when the car to my right (in the other left turn lane) veered into my lane, completely unaware of my existence. Now, I never honk to punish a driver. I learned that in Driver’s Ed. I only honk to prevent an accident and that’s why I honked.
The driver quickly realized what she did wrong and corrected herself to prevent from making me swerve into the center divider to not get hit by her. She then sped up to avoid further embarrassment. As she sped up, I noticed an Obama bumper sticker. And it hit me. Eureka! Negative campaigning.
Think for a moment of your least favorite political candidate. Take one of their bumper stickers and put it on the back of your car. Then proceed to be the biggest jackass on the road.
Drive ten miles an hour under the speed limit in the left lane right at 8:55. Double park your car in prime real estate right at peak shopping hours. Cut someone off, then flip them off, then speed off. Pretend to gab on your cell phone and almost hit the person to your left, notice them, over-correct, and almost hit the person to your right.
That bumper sticker will be the thing they remember that night, and it will leave a bad taste in their mouth when they go to the polls.
Yeah, you would remember the bumper sticker.
Kate - That’s what I thought.
Of course, this is satire and I hope nobody does this in real life, but I’m sure someone who doesn’t know what satire is will stumble across this site and get all butt hurt.
great idea….know where i can pick up a hillary bumper sticker?
I think that’s how I’m gonna vote this year. The candidate with the least amount of idiots sporting their bumper sticker gets the vote, baby!
Thanks Zombs.

Lime - Get one at CafePress. Proceeds don’t go to her campaign.
Ben - Heh. Sounds like a more logical plan than pretty much anything else I’ve heard this month.
Hey. Good morning to you sir…LOL.. Anyway on to bigger and better things. You know its been a while but we almost got clipped by a woman with a cell phone to her ear and it wasnt even election year.. Stupid people. And you are right that would stick in my mind really. The bumper sticker. Yikes.. A terrible dream almost.
Hell, kids do that now all the time.
ROFLMAO!!!!
Lime’s right, where do you go to get HC bumperstickers in Canada???
Tweetey - Yeah, drivers on cell phones (and cell phones in general) was one of my previous rants.
Beach - With bumper stickers?

ZS - You just might be on to something there…
Obama can kiss my ass. The bad driver can kiss my ass too.
What a brilliant idea!!!
As I am not involved in American elections I find your post hilarious and clever, what good ideas you have!
When I see candidate bumper stickers I always kind of peer into the person’s car. Are they messy? Can you see [insert political issue] written all over them? Would you never think that person would vote for [insert candidate]. Now I see, some people have been on to your plan!
:::Goes to buy a Huckabee sticker:::
I say we lock them all in a big house for a month…With no access to speach writers, campain managers or election handlers of any kind. Put a cameras on them to follow and observe their every move…and sit back and watch.
That is reality TV that might actually be entertaining. lol
Negative campaigning . . . brilliant.
I like Jen’s idea the best! THAT’S what I call campaign reform!
Heh heh…I wonder if the candidates’ PR teams have taken this into consideration? They really should. That’s the kind of thing for which they are overpaid.
It’s the “Baby on Board” bad drivers who freak me out the most.
SME - Baby on Board drivers may be the absolute worst. And most annoying. Almost as annoying as my child is an honor student drivers.
Tshsmom - Yeah, I like that too. Except they’ll probably enjoy the spotlight.
JACC - Thanks.
Jen - If they’re not good for us, they might as well entertain us, right?
Courtney - So it must work. I should actually do that and take notes.
Kitem - Thanks. You’re not missing much.
Kathleen - Thanks.
Leslie - They pretty much all can. It’s usually who I dislike least who I end up voting for.
Miladysa - We’ll see if it works…
Tee hee hee thanks for the link, Zombieslayer!!! I love the ‘Anyone but Billary’ one!!
Bridget - Oh, there are several on that page I want. You can guess which ones (and you’d probably be right).
