are bumper stickers a thing of the past?

Feb 14, 2012 11:13 PM

I was sitting in traffic this morning and I saw a car that had 10 assorted bumper stickers on it. The guy was promoting witchcraft.....

As I looked around everyone else pretty much had giant car magnets or those window stickers of thier family on the back window.

Had this convo the other day - lots of people seem to be more into the 'window cling' instead of stickers. Probably helps with resell/trade-in value.

@pamfenway: From the username, now I'm wondering if yours might be that one car left in Boston with stickers on it. :P

(I kid. Heck, there's a car down my street that appears to practically be constructed out of the things.)

had a teacher once that encourage people to cover his car in bumper stickers. he believed that if you were active enough in politics to use a bumper sticker, then he was doing his job well. when asked what color his car was his answer was "yes". he had no clue what the color was under 12 years of political bumperstickers.

no, i don't believe in bumperstickers because i don't want my car keyed over a sticker.

@psaux: I wondered what you meant there for a minute! I was behind a car in Boston the other day with a crazy number of bumper stickers on it. But there sure are a lot of cars here with bumper stickers for something or another. BTW, is it ok to cut off the cars with political messages you don't agree with? People here pretty much cut everyone off anyway, so I guess this is acceptable, right?

Dude, it's an election year. Just wait for everyone on the road to get new Obama, Romney or Paul stickers and leave them on for years regardless of who wins.

Why hasn't someone invented the equivalent of a digital picture frame for bumper stickers?

@curtisuxor: they have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxU4jAnv1hg
they also make license plate frames that scroll various messages you pre-program.

@kamikazeken: I've seen the window-mounted text scrolls before and actually played with one. Sadly, they come with filters for most dirty words. Never saw the license plate ones though, that's pretty neat.

I was talking about a "digital sticker" that will cycle through manually uploaded "sticker pictures". Red text just seems so boring, especially if you aren't allowed to use bad words.

I just saw someone with a Pawlenty 2012 bumper sticker a couple days ago. It made me laugh.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
