Fun With Stickers

As all my truly loyal fans know, putting stickers on cars is a questionable idea -

Well here's another reason - you put the sticker on your car, and like everything else around us, the details eventually blend in to the background. How often do you crouch down to proofread your My Kid Is An Honor Student At Whogivesadamn Elementary .sticker?

Survey says: "Never!" Ding ding ding!

What if some diabolical vandal, some knave, some jerk with a computer and too much free time decided to edit your sticker? Would you notice? Probably not.

Example: Mr. Ron Paul, that is Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is a Republican United States Congressman from Lake Jackson, Texas, a physician, and a 2008 U.S. presidential candidate.

His bumper sticker:


Here's an innocuous little sticker I just created, completely legal to carry on your person and even onto a 747 bound for Seattle.

Next, the result of the innocuous little sticker's application to the original sticker...


And now, instead of announcing to the world their adoration for a conservative, constitutionalist libertarian, they're telling all and sundry of their love for drag queens. Fun With Stickers, indeed.
