GOD BLESS RONALD REAGAN!
Edited on Thu Jul-08-04 08:31 AM by funkybutt
This is a bumper sticker I saw yesterday! I found it to be quite odd since the guy didn't have any other stickers on his car. I really wanted to get the guy's attention so that I could speak to him about it. But what should I have said? help me DU :)

1. Calvin peeing on "Kerry"
A co-worker stopped me on the way in and said he saw a window sticker of Clavin (coyright infringement BTW) peeing on the name "Kerry" (in the same font as the actual bumperstickers).

3. Thanks for mentioning hte copyright thing
Its something I have been meaning to bring up. I particularly get a kick from the Calvin praying ones. Its ironic in that it violates one of the commandments (stealing). The artist has never given permission for any of the various Calvin stickers that are around.

15. That's why he quit
Bill Watterson quit drawing Calvin partly because of all of the Copyright infringments. Calvin peeing. Calvin shooting the finger. Calvin using a beer bong...

Watterson was unhappy about it and that was one of the reasons he quit and the best cartoon ever to be written was gone forever.

9. Yes he has
He decries their use but has decided to take no legal action. It is theft and is all the more ironic when it is theft that has Calvin in prayer.

2. I suppose it's a nice thought since Reagan is undoubtedly in hell right
now if there is such a place.

14. A town founder with a well developed sense of humor
Or so the story goes. Me and my GF take day trips to Hell everyonce in a while. The UU church we used to go to (we moved since then) used to auction off motorcycle rides to Hell and back to raise money for the church. One of our early dates was the result of one of these rides (by that time more options had joined the auction including a model T). So we are able to say that our relationship can weather anything as we have been through Hell together. :evilgrin:

5. Back in 2002
I sacrificed one of my DU stickers so I can cover this Bush/Cheney sticker on some annoying republican's truck who lived in my apartment complex.

I know it's not ethical or whatever but damn it always brings a smile to my face when I think about it.

13. I committed a similar offense
I knew it wasnt' right but I put a "Axis of Greed : Bush , Cheneey., Ashcroft" sticker on a car at a home that had a Bush/Cheney Yardsign. I checked back a week later and the sticker was still on the car!
