So this guy:


Now that it’s hotter than holy hell here in Rhode Island, it’s nice to think back a couple of weeks to when it was cool and rainy and I pulled up behind this guy at a light in Lincoln. This guy takes the “I want to disparage the liberal media, but I still want to enjoy the convenience of leasing a vehicle” attitude of this guy and blows. It. Up. Blows it up good.

You know what? I think I love this guy. I can only imagine the thought process that brought him to this conclusion.

Okay! I’ve imagined it, and here it is:

 “Bumper sticker? Hell no. I want, like, a bumper sticker times twelve, bitches. Oh, they don’t sell bumper stickers that big? Well, meet posterboard, liberal bumper sticker manufacturers. Posterboard’s gonna take you to school. Now, I really hate this Obama guy, but how do I state it strongly yet succinctly? This isn’t Twitter, and I’m not speaking as @BumperStickersAndSocialistsAintShit when I’m driving my car. But how do I express that this President’s policies – and the man himself, I daresay – are synonymous with socialism without taking up too much space... that’s it! I’ll just say that: ‘Obama = Socialism.’ Done and done. But wait! What if people driving by me think that I think Obama equals socialism, but that I think that’s a good thing? Like, I like Obama, and I like socialism? That’d be awful. What if a liberal honked his approval at me on 95? I’d die. What I need is a graphic, a visual representation of dislike that is simple and universal. But what? What what what… of course! Thumbs down! No, two thumbs down! No one, even an Obama supporter, is going to think you like anything when it’s flanked by two downward-pointing thumbs. It just isn’t possible. Now to put this plan into action… offspring! Fetch me my Sharpie.”

This may be one of the biggest breakthroughs in communication in the last hundred years. So many complex ideas could be conveyed this way!




Imagine your own!
