The Ten Most Obnoxious Bumper Stickers You Will See In Madison

Just one of them from Atomic Trousers:

“COEXIST”(spelled out with various religious symbols)- If some of the followers of the religion represented by the crescent moon “c” on your cute little bumper sticker would stop hijacking planes and blowing up buildings, coexisting would be a little easier.

Which gave me the idea to make it a bit more realistic:

Coexist With The Commies And The Nazis, You Smug Little Twerp!
Coexist With The Commies And The Nazis, You Smug Little Twerp!

Raises the bar a little bit, eh?

Comments

The idiocy of these people never ceases to amaze.

Radical Islam is flat out evil.

How do you coexist with someone who just wants to kill you?

Hee-larious! It's subtle, it's perfect!

Fred,
Perhaps you could enlighten me as I am not that familiar with religious symbols. How can you tell that the symbol represents the "radical" variety of Islam is particular?

Mr. McMahon,
Yeah, I think that's a good point. I think this highlihts a good point about bumper stickers and sound-bites in general (i.e. War is not the answer, Islam is evil etc.) There are few issues so simple that they can be addressed adequately by an 8 inch sticker.

Love the updated bumper sticker! Where can I buy a few?

War is the answer when Islam is the question.

How about replacing the traditional Christian cross with the cross-in-circle favored by neo-nazis?

"Where can I buy a few?"

Cafe Press is only a click away, Mr. McMahon....

One niggle--rotate the hammer and sickle 45 degrees clockwise to emphasize the "letter e" aspect of the symbol.

And if you have the time, I'd love one that states "Celebrate Victimhood" over the rainbow colors.

kthxbi

I put a few other different ones on my web, including the "Evil Empires: One Down, One to Go".

Your comment to the bumper sticker "Coexist" is very offensive. You really need to read up on the Islamic faith tradition to see that only extremists of this faith do things like hijack planes.

Coexist is a belief that all regions should be at peace with each other so it's offensive to me that you added ideals like nazism and communism.

Please take the time to study what you say to keep from being offensive.

Dear Rebecca,

Has it ever occurred to you that National Socialism and Communism were also secular "religions?" They had their own theologies, their own saints, their own martyrs, their own sacred mysteries, their own holy scriptures, etc.

Rebecca, I think it's you who needs to "study what you say." Why don't actually try going through the Qur'an: the more you read it, the less you'll like it. After all, can you immediately think of any other religion which mandates death for "apostates?"

Rebecca, why are you unwilling to coexist without requiring people to "study what you say" and "keep from being offensive"?

You should be willing to live in peace with other people.

It is inappropriate to alter the Coexist sticker with white supremacy.

Also, to a larger extent the problem with Islam is that you have a large uneducated population that will be blindly led by extremists.

Iremember when I first saw the co-exist bumper sticker... it was on the car that cut me off in traffic, gave me a very angry finger, and when suddenly scared that I was following them to extract my vengeance (I was just going the way I usually do to the office) suddenly pulled of the road, and pointedly displayed her cellphone ostentatiously pushing 9-1-1 to save herself from the Dangerous Rotarian (the only sticker I have on my car).

Hilarious.

I have long held one simple thought about bumper stickers: Those who can get their thoughts on an issue into a bumper sticker probably aren't thinking hard enough.

Too bad you couldn't get a symbol of the religion of environmentalism in there (although the hammer 'n sickle could qualify.)

Also, given the link to terrorism, maybe the cross should be burning.

I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't have much of a problem with the changes given the number of times the Lefties who embrace the original format also tend to march around with folks who equate Judaism with Nazism.

See: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250710,00.html

Equating Islam with Nazism? Gee, the Religion of Piece (of Arm, of Leg, of Torso) aided and abetted the Nazis during WWII.

And we have supported regimes that practice that religion. Are you equating the US government with Nazism, Peter?

Get a grip.

Inappropriate?

Rebecca, you don't seem to get this "coexist" business.

What about replacing the peace sign with the "recycle" symbol made of the three bent arrows?

Yes, I am equating Islam with Nazism. Islam is just a modern day version of Nazism and must be destroyed in the same manner.

Er, that's not what I asked. And Islam has been around for juuust a little longer than Nazism.

Oh well.

Tom: I am glad to see the outrage from Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee. Keep up the good work. I have been complaining about this Coexsist bumpersticker and have gotten face to face with many a liberal over it.
