What bumper sticker needs to go away?

I found a funny article in TheOtherCritic.com about your bumper stickers, and what they really say to others. They break it down from stickers that are acceptable, to stickers that are extremely annoying.

In the highly or extremely annoying category are stickers that are religious or identify a political affiliation. You're saying all they need to know.

Also in that category is the sticker that brags about your kid being an honor roll student. Even worse, the sticker that tries to parody the honor roll sticker by stating: "My child can beat up your honor student."

They say the absolutely WORST sticker you can ever place on your car is any reference to someone's ability to drive their own vehicle. Stickers like - "I Brake for tailgater," or "Do You Follow Jesus this Closely," or the worst, "The Closer You Get, The Slower I Go. It's That Simple."

What have you seen that needs to go? A few ideas:

-Any presidential election stickers that pre-dates the LAST election

-The cute stick family holding hands....awwwweeee... STOP!

-Any sticker with a cuss word. Your five friends think it's hilarious, but the rest of us think you need anger management.

-Stickers about quiet women not making history. We get it; we shouldn't mess with you.

-"26.2" -- yes, you're fit.

-Finally, the one with the kid peeing on, well, anything.

Stickers that are kind of cool...for now

-The ones that look like a hockey puck is stuck in your window.

-Bullet holes in your trunk

-No sticker.
