In the history of the world, has anybody ever looked at a pro-life, pro-choice, anti-president, whatever kind of politically-oriented bumper sticker and had some kind of epiphany?

"Oh my God, despite putting an entire lifetime of thought into figuring out that I'm very strongly pro-choice, now that I see that bumper sticker... it IS a child and not a choice! Thank you, bumper sticker, for changing my mind."

What purpose does a politically-oriented bumper sticker serve?

I used to have some hilarious ones on my old car.

One said "Abstinence pays, who wants genital warts?"

The other had a picture of a baby seal and a human fetus on it and said "Guess which one is protected?" People would ask me about being pro-life and I'd always tell them I wasn't pro-life, I was pro-clubbing baby seals.

That's hilarious.

The funniest one I ever saw said "Sportsmen for Bush".

It just gives me targets for people I really don't like...and when the day comes when I finally snap, there is going to be a lot of pro-death going on

They certainly don't make me change my mind about anything, but some really are pretty funny. I saw one down here a while back which said something like, "Guns kill people like forks made Rosie O'Donnell fat". Made me laugh! Welcome to the South.....

That's pretty good. That type of message might be good for someone on the bubble, or to just get someone to think a bit.

That and the gw04 stickers. I was going to comment on this.

In certain cases the message I draw from political bumper stickers is:

"The driver/owner of this car is stupid as hell."
