I have the unlucky position in life of living across the street from a vehicle that has a set of these hanging off the back of the truck. I was going to go on and on about this, but I have decided that just a quick comment stating that I truly consider these eye pollution and a total gross out, is sufficient. These people across the street are very good friends and their children have been born and raised with my son. In his younger days they have even played over our house, attended birthday parties, etc. The boy is just a year older then my son, but they are no longer friends. I think I can figure out why.
On a wider scale and not just ragging on the neighbors...don't even get me going on vehicles that have the entire family named on the back of the window or a tribute to a dead person also on the back window of a vehicle, to constantly remind someone of a major loss in their life. It all just seems a little extreme and in the case of the names of the people, potentially dangerous.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I just wish those things hung somewhere else, besides in my front yard.
Whatever...
Somehow I've never actually seen a set of those, either "in use" or for sale, so the concept is entirely new to me as of about 30 seconds ago. However, I'm pretty sure I'm with you in that something like that is definitely not to my own taste. I've often noticed, though, that my personal line separating good from bad taste often gets crossed long before others'.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly I've never cared even a little bit for those ubiquitous decal depictions of Calvin maliciously relieving himself on specific iconic images of various auto manufacturers (or any of the other alternative thematic representations I've seen).
Thanks for mentioning those. I forgot all about them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn good news, they seem to be around a lot less then they used to be. A good thing.
whaah. i had never heard of those nor seen them, if even so in just a picture. would be the same if women then start to wear silicon breasts on the hoods of their cars, eh?
ReplyDeletei have to erase that from my mind. and those bumper nuts too. lol.
I am telling you Gina, his are the only ones I have ever seen and it just makes it more awful to have to see them EVERY single day.
ReplyDeleteForget I ever mentioned them, okay? :-)
