Please Explain This to Me
OK, I mean, I get that this is supposed to represent the family that owns the car. There is a pencil-necked dad, and a vacuous mom, and a teen-age girl with a spiral on her t-shirt (representing that she's spiralling out of control, maybe? That she has an IUD? That she suffers from vertigo?), there's the roller-skating tween of indeterminate gender and rubber-armed boy who loves baseball.
My question is "WHY?"
Really. Why the fuck would you want to advertize that you have underage children available for abduction in the car, and even give strangers a chance to know what sort of bait to use? Who's business is it, anyway, how many people are in your family? Why should I give a rat's ass about the fact that you overbred?
And these things are everywhere... although I've never seen them for sale anywhere.
You can specify your recreational choices. You can add your pets: I've seen dogs, cats, fish and birds. There are toddler stickers and baby stickers. I've yet to see a pregnant woman sticker, or a car with two women and a child. Lots of single parents out there, advertising that they can be met at any Little League park, ballet school or hockey rink.
The RLA and I want to produce add-ons, so that we can vandalize these things, which almost always sseem to be associated with Jesus fish or W bumper stickers. Maybe that's the secret: they are handed out at tent revivals and Republican party meetings.
Yeah... stick-on piles of dog poop, S&M paraphenalia, dreadlocks, jail house bars, beer bottles and bongs. You could accessorize strangers' car windows to your heart's content.

don’t forget the “speech bubbles.” What do you think the daughter is saying to mom? to Dad? ooh - to the dog! if that’s supposed to represent a family, then it’s up to us to divulge their darkest, filthiest secrets….
Actually, I think the roller-skating tween is supposed to be a girl (skirt, flowered shirt).... unless, of course, they have a GAY child who’s into kilts… or maybe just into kilts… or maybe…
OH YES YES YES as regards the modifying speech bubbles.
You need to jump on marketing those—and FAST.
The cheery little soccer mom in your photo needs one that reads, “If I have to fuck this tool on my right ONE MORE TIME, I’m gonna swallow a handful of razor blades.”
Bubble for the kid:
“Another man! Mom is SUCH a slut! No wonder my brother is wearing a skirt and my sister is dropping acid!”
