What do those little "Tee Shirt Stickers" on car bumpers mean? (and some ranting...no extra charge?)

[MichaelD]

I just got back from lunch, and parked in back of a car with one of these stickers on it. You've all seen them. They are about 3"wide x 4" high and depict a "tee shirt". They come in all diff colors.

I'm thinking it means "kids on board" or something inane like that (remember the "Baby on Board" yellow signs from the 80's?) I see subject stickers mostly on familyvans and family-type sedans. What's the deal? Am I supposed to treat you differently b/c you have a little "I got kids in the back" sticker on your pitiful family van?

BTW, I call Minivans, "FAMILYVANS" b/c that's what they are. I have a male coworker who absolutes goes nuts (almost violently!) when I say "so how's the familyvan running?" He yells "it's a damn minivan, NOT a family van!" I reply "ah, you're choice of vehicle just screams LOOK WHAT MY WIFE MADE ME BUY!!!!! WAHHHHHH" Then I run away. Poor guy...all w/his ball and chain around his ankle. Sucker.

Are those shirts multicolor, like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple?

reminds me of that commercial showing guys at the gym, and over the loud speaker comes: "anyone with a green mini-van in the parking lot, your lights are on, anyone with a green minivan..." - and they all just look at each other, wondering who's it is.

personally, i'll stick with my ford aspire. much more manly

Gambit, well, kinda. They Tshirt stickers are not multicolored, but the stickers come in a variety of solid colors. So, yes.

Viewton,
Oh my. An Aspire? Reminds me of the Geo Metro Deathbox (as I called it) that I rented a few years ago while my smashed Civic was getting repaired. A car that small is UltraScary for me. Funny, I ride motorcycles which provide significantly less protection than even the smallest car and that doesn't scare me at all. Leeetle Teeeeeny Tiiiiny cars like the Aspire....make me all sweaty w/fear.

They display affiliation with very violent sects of radical groups. The american sect of the IRA is green, for example. It's best not to ask the owner about it, as people have gotten seriously hurt that way.




Actually, I have no idea.

MrBond,

For a nanosecond, you had me. I was like "wow man...the old lady in the familyvan could be armed or something....then i said "oh, I've been had". Good one.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

[MichaelD]

I live in South Texas. I've seen them in Oklahoma, Utah, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, NYC and Lousiana. I travel on business about once/month.
