A small device, mounted under the front of your bumper, loaded with bumper stickers. Inch close to the driver in front of you and press the red button.
A padded mechanical arm reaches out, applies a bumper sticker, and quietly retracts, leaving the other driver none the wiser.
Comes pre-loaded
with your choice of stickers, ranging from "Honk if you love Jesus" to "My kid can beat up your honor student", and everything in between.

As seen yesterday on the road: New, black Hummer; chrome wheels, tinted windows. And in the left-hand side of the rear bumper? Small "Greenpeace" bumper sticker. |
|
| |
Evidence of the Surreptitious Bumperstickerator having been baked? |
|
| |
How close do you think you should be
when utilizing this feature? maybe a
grapple setup that fires darts for each of
the corners of the sticker. it would slid
across on wires, be attached, and then the
whole thing would release. that way you
wouldn't have to tailgate the monster SUV. |
|
| |
For use at traffic lights only. |
|
| |
What I usually see between those two bumper stickers is a camo colored ribbon and a Bush/Cheney'04 sticker. |
|
| |
[methinksnot] Oh the irony! |
|
| |
"Only a fool breaks the two second rule" |
|
| |
i want one loaded with "I Cause Traffic" Stickers |
|
| |
Some Hollywood star or other (I think they're all the same person anyway) bought a Honda Prius after finding a bumper sticker on her Hummer that read: "I'm changing the environment - ask me how.". I always thought that was really funny. |
|
| |
You could try putting "I (heart) my Geo" on some huge monster trucks. |
|
| |
This may eventually get traffic to move faster, with everyone afraid of the person behind them getting too close. |
|
| |
Here in Red Sox-ville one of the more popular stickers reads "Yankees Suck". A stack of these in New York should do the trick. ;) |
|
| |
Does it account for bumper height differences? |
|
| |
Why, of course! You want to be able to bumperstickerate SUVs, don't you? |
|
| |
Hoorahs for besticklering. [+] |
|
| |
[epic], If Google is any judge (it really shouldn't be, but it is) then you have just invented a new word. Congratulations. |
|
| |
astute readers will note that [DesertFox] was also trying to create his own new word. |
|
| |
No, not Bumperstickerator |
|
| |
I was thinking of "Surrepetitious". |
|
| |
(Typo fixed in the title, as moderators do.) Is a surrepetition what happens if you
you repeat a word without anyone noticing it? |
|
| |
Well, I don't really know. |
|
| |
Like it. Reminds me of the covert stickerating that used to go on at school.
"Kick me hard!" |
|
| |
....I'm imagining a back-bumper version, to retaliate. You slap one on my back, I slap one on your front, repeat. |
|
| |
Seeing cars with little arms slapping each other when they get too close would seem just soooo appropriate somehow. |
|
| |
[jutta], only if if no-one notices. |
|
| |
This reminds me of a comedian on the Bob And Tom CD who listed a series of bumper stickers to put on other people's cars - I Hate Cops is the one that sticks in my mind. |
|
| |
if it uses something sticky/corrosive, the bumperstickerator could become the next wave in revenge, perhaps even replacing the bleaching of clothes or keying of cars (as featured in "Judge Judy") |
|
| |
[UnaBubba] et al, thanks for the witty surrepartee |
|
| |
A Gay Pride sticker on that pickup with
the Confederate flag in the back
window... |
|
| |
Would that be a Surrepublican? |
|
| |
"Honk if you love horses" |
|
| |
[+] Hahaha. This would be amazing! A firm
favourite of mine is |
|
| |
"How's my driving? Call 0800-EAT-SHIT". |
|
| |
This device must already be out there somewhere - as i see plenty of Bush 2004 stickers... Now that's a mean sticker to dupe one with! ;) |
|
| |
"I've Been Bumpered by Mr Phase" |
|
| |
"Quiet. Cell phone in use."
"Slow. Eyesight 25/450"
"Not my sticker. This car sucks."
"Ashtray broken. Lungs still work. Keep back 1/4 mile" |
|
| |
Repetitious ... repetitious ... I'd wear this out quicker than the "off" button on my TV remote. |
|
| |
"My other car is also a Hummer" |
|
| |
DO NOT REMOVE
This sticker is the only thing holding my car together. |
|
| |
Don't forget "Pave the Bay" for the tree-huggers and "I hate bumper stickers" bumper sticker. |
|
| |
the defense against this would be bumpers
that ooze oil. sticker slides right off. |
|
| |
[tcarson] Well, we'll just have to add some sort of de-oilification spray, won't we... |
|
| |
Either that or a nail gun. |
|
| |
[jutta] //Is a surrepetition what happens
if you you repeat a word without anyone
noticing it?//.... then once it's finally
noticed, and everyone gets to hear
about it over and over again, does it
become a surrapetition? |
|
| |
[+] for the orginal idea, [DF] that I
meant to pick up on earlier. |
|
| |
ha ha, it's back! [desertfox] then we need
an anti-de-oilification device. |
|
| |
So why/how does this idea have a image included? Was this an old feature of HB? Did Jutta add it herself? Looks nicely hand drawn |
|
| |
Help page --> Illustrations section |
|
| |
So follow up question, how come the "graphic illustrator" stopped? I haven't seen a illustration on an idea in years. In fact the only ones I know of are evil laugh activated hand dryer and this one. I always thought it was just a fluke. . . |
|
| |
I have one too! Lucky me. |
|
| |
I thought of a similar idea to this today and had
forgotten that this idea exists - a classic idea |
