Million Dollar Idea

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I had an idea for a new product that should be developed, and if someone could figure out how to make something like this, that person would make a million dollars. I've noticed that a lot of times, I'll be driving down the road or I'll be in a parking lot, and I'll see a stupid-ass right-wing bumper sticker, and I think, "Oh, I've just GOT to respond to THAT nonsense!" But that's the thing about bumper stickers. You CAN'T respond to it OR the person who is polluting the world with its nonsense. But what if you could?

I think someone ought to invent a "bumper sticker responder" that would allow you to give a response to bumper stickers that are obviously DYING for a response. For example, today I saw a car with the "Don't Tread On Me" sticker, the "I'll keep my guns, freedom, and money...You can keep the CHANGE" sticker, and one that I would have LOVED to respond to. It had a picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and it said, "America was founded by right-wing extremists." Oh, the things I could have said in response to that (most of them along the lines of, "Didn't study your History very much when you were in school, did you?")

So if there's anyone out there who could figure out a way to "post responses" to bumper stickers, you could make millions. I had an idea of a bumper sticker that you could put on the back of your own car that could change text, so you could type in your response, it would show it, and then you could get in front of the other driver and "respond." But ideally, it would be something that the person with the sticker would carry along WITH the sticker they have so OTHER PEOPLE could see it. If there were a way to do this without resorting to vandalism, I would be all for it.

Any ideas?

1. permanent marker

post all the slogans here and let the DU community figure out funny ways to alter them with a sharpie. Vandalism to a bumper sticker can't be worth court time.

...there may be other manufacturers but the design about the same.

3. GMTA: As you can see They already have scrolling LED car displays.

Here's one I found for under 60 bucks on google. I'm sure there are probably more advanced units out there as well.

Now it doesn't change their sticker but if you are willing to risk your life cutting in front of them...you can get your message seen....

4. That's what I was thinking...

...you read their bumper sticker, race to get in front of them, type in a message and then he does the same thing.

Sounds like a real good idea.

you might be able to shoot it and cover it with paint. Might cause some other problems.
