#18 You make some great points. My personal theory on bumper stickers -- born out from no scientific evidence whatsoever, just having a bumper sticker site -- is that the impact of a sticker is inversely proportional to the number of people who get it.

So yes, you may be right, most people who see the sticker in passing will think of it as a pro-McCain sticker, but to them it will be "just another McCain sticker" Where as the people who do manage to "get it", it will really resonate with them, and they'll tell other people about the sort of subtlely subversive sticker they saw. Part of the broadcasting power of a sticker, after all, isn't just it's ability to be seen, but it's ability to get people to talk about it.

#24: This is the #1 criticism of my site. The thing is, I want people to see telling other people where the sticker came from as a value-add: That way, the stickers can spread throughout the world in a viral fashion. The good memes will multiply, etc. Plus, I like the idea that the web address shows that somebody somewhere is accountable for a sticker's message. I get a lot of email that I wouldn't get from people who are outraged over a sticker they saw. They get a chance to vent, and I get a chance to remind them that I least I put my name on the message, instead of anonymously hijacking their consciousness. And, if we want, we can have a debate. (Although, most of the time, people write in with complaints that I personally disagree with, too, and the debate start's with Voltaire's "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend your right to say it...." etc.

Though, your right, in the age of ubiquitous Google, putting the site name on every sticker may be a little overkill. Still, it's a way of saying "find us online. There's more to this media experience than just a sticker."

Bottom line is, there are a jillion make-a-sticker sites out there that *don't* include their name in bold letters as part of the sticker. So everybody can get what they want.

This Kyle is the submitter, (Kyle from Bumperactive). I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who are sending in awesome concepts for further states -- so many, that I won't be able to reply to them until later this evening. Please do keep 'em coming!

In a recent Peggy Noonan column (I know, I know), Peg Wrote:

"it comes up zero if you Google 'Thatcher' and 'You're just picking on me because I'm a woman.'"

Since she was writing for wsj.com as well as the Wall Street Journal, I found that a profoundly asinine statement. So I've decided from henceforth to include the text 'Thatcher' and 'You're just picking on me because I'm a woman' wherever it's mildly apropos.

Now, whenever you Google 'Thatcher' and 'You're just picking on me because I'm a woman,' Not only will you get Noonan's column in which she proclaims you'll get no such result, you'll also get the Margaret Thatcher Teapot.

My favorite is some Rightwing Republican Grammer who has a blog, who simply typed:

Peggy Noonan does it again: "it comes up zero if you Google 'Thatcher' and 'You're just picking on me because I'm a woman.'"

Yep, sure does. Feel free to join in if you like.
