Mark a Winless Season in Sports With a 0-16 Bumper Sticker

The Sticker — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:03:22 +0000

The oddness of American culture is exposed by our interaction with sporting. Sports teams around the country are celebrated… for perfect winning seasons. Then “we” won with “our” team and it shows the superiority of “us” and “our city” or “our school.” Losing teams in football, baseball, basketball quickly become “them,” and “they” are ignored as not reflecting “our” good city or school. As the Detroit Lions face the planting of a perfect 0-16 season in the firm cement of history this Sunday, how will we react? Will fans turn their faces? Counteract the alienating amnesia of loss by noting the negative exception:

… then reassure the aspirational part of your soul with this mathematical truth: there is no way to go but up.

During last night’s debate between Barack Obama and John McCain, McCain dismissively referred to Obama as “That One.” In less than a month, John McCain will learn the peril of dismissing Barack Obama. Until then, show your support for Barack Obama as he runs for President with this bumper sticker:

Hillary Clinton Turns No Way, No How, No McCain into THE 2008 Bumper Sticker Phrase

The Sticker — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:24:20 +0000

Hillary Clinton’s dynamic speech before the Democratic National Convention has turned the tide in the race, moving past Clinton vs. Obama dramatics to Democrats vs. John McCain concerns. She made clear in no uncertain terms the many ways in which John McCain stands in opposition to progress in the United States of America. Her most memorable line: No Way, No How, No McCain!” will be perhaps the most memorable bumper sticker statement of the 2008 Elections. So it makes sense that there would be an actual No Way, No How, No McCain bumper sticker. And here it is.

Exxon-McCain 2008 Bumper Sticker

The Sticker — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:16:47 +0000

Over at Democrats.org, they’ve put together a sweet little website, Exxon-McCain 2008, a parody site that reveals the connections between John McCain and the oil industry. Did you know, for instance, that John McCain has put together a little $4 Billion legislative gift to the oil companies while he runs around telling the rest of us little people that he can’t afford to do anything that would help us out of this energy crisis? For shame, John McCain!

Here is an Exxon-McCain 2008 bumper sticker to help spread the meme, using the style of the George W. Bush 2004 bumper sticker to help reinforce the idea that John McCain is just four more years of George W. Bush.

The Print On Demand (POD) bumper sticker makers at Zazzle make a useful tool available to shopkeepers: statistics in rank order displaying the most-often bumper stickers viewed within a time period. The frequency of recent bumpersticker views on our Zazzle webshop (which sticks solely to bumper stickers with liberal messages on them) is an indicator of liberal sentiment about social and political causes of the day. What are these causes, and how do liberals orient themselves toward them?

The following are the ten most viewed liberal bumper stickers (not including our presidential election bumper stickers, which for purposes of clarity we rank separately) on our Zazzle webshop for the week of April 22-29, 2008:

1. Bitter: Ask Me Why

2. Customizable Bumper Sticker Against Right-Wing Congressional Kooks

3. Custom Candidate for Congress Bumper Sticker (Blue and Red background)

4. Customizable Congressional Campaign Bumper Sticker (Blue Background with Red Stars)

5. Support the Peace, Say No to War

6. Mark Twain Quote: “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”

8. Is the Earth Getting Hot, Or Is It Just Me?

9. Fight Global Warming: Get On Your Bike!

10. Veterans Against the War

These messages are what liberals are looking for now. These searches capture the frequency of the liberal wavelength that’s resonating outside the presidential campaigns right now. Ask yourself: do they reflect what’s happening inside the presidential campaign?
