Standard package comes with a variety of sizes, to be
used for covering (or slapping across the middle while
leaving visible most of the original message, if censorship
isn't your cup o' tea) offensive bumper stickers.

I think it's a conceptual [m-f-d] i.e. to mark an
unwelcome bumper sticker for deletion from
someone else's car.
|
|
| |
An alternative would be the No! roundel - not sure
what it's called, but imagine the Ghostbusters sign
without the red circle and slash - it's just a ghost -
and then imagine splashing the red on top - it'd be
a reasonably satisfying feeling I think.

I don't tend to see that many bumper stickers
round these parts, so I haven't had the time to
build up any great annoyance from them - but if I
did, a stash of these would be great. |
|

[+] except for the text "marked for deletion": too much of an in-joke. Despite the bun I will giggle if a mod deletes this post based on a quick look at the title. |
|
| |
How about a transparent 'pixelated' overlay sticker? |
|
| |
This is an obscure cult-culture reference that would almost
immediately catch on with 30 billion self- styled hipsters
have absolutely no idea what it means.
|
|

I want one. T.G.F.J. also wants a line of T-shirts
emblazoned with the cloven croissant and a selection of
the choicest taglines (but no mention of the Halfbakery
itself). Unfortunately, we both know we can never have
these things, because that would mean crass
commercialization of something beautiful and unspoiled. |
|
| |
[Alterother] <link> A little bleach, and you're all set. |
|

Hmmm...I was under the impression that some automated system in the HalfBakery scanned text of recent Ideas, looking for the key phrase that would trigger deletion. That would doom this one, regardless of what the moderators think about it. |
|
| |
Oh... Well, there ya go. Thanks, [mp].
|
|
| |
Oh, and, [Jutta], when I said 'crass commercialization of
something beautiful and unspoiled', what I really meant
was 'inspired and artistic way to fund something beautiful
and unspoiled'. |

Vernon, my understanding is that all it does is trigger a
notification to alert a moderator, who then looks at
the idea to determine if it's [MFD]-compliant. If the
moderator agrees with the MFD, then the moderator
either contacts the author of the idea via email, or
deletes it him/herself if the idea is super-offensive.
Jutta deleted a post of mine once, titled 'Bolshevik
Bangers', because she found it highly offensive. |
|
| |
I rather like the idea of an easy-to-apply bumper-sticker invalidator, which is why it annoys me that it will show up in the mfd pile at some point unnecessarily. |
|
| |
Really? She thought 'Bolshevik Bangers' was offensive? And
this came as a surprise to you? |
|
| |
I thought it was a decent weapon idea... |
|
| |
Well, many weapons, like bumper stickers, can be
offensive. Some more so than others. I just hope you
learned your lesson. |
|
| |
I'm just hoping that someday some of these folks will
kindly remove their Gore 2000, Kerry 2004,
McCain/Palin 2008 etc stickers eventually. |
