Anyone been lucky enough to see one of these on the back of some *kitten*'s car? Makes me want to take a sledgehammer to it.

Imagine if there was a similar sticker referring to another group based on appearance. I can think of a few examples that would not be legal. These should be illegal too I reckon.

    I find those stickers to be very handy. Now I definitely know to avoid those guys.

    Illegal? Why? Because you take offense to it?


    "being fat" is not a protected class, so it shouldn't be illegal.




    For the record, I don't think they are funny in anyway, and most of the guys you see with these stickers are not exactly top of the class.

    I'm just saying its exactly the same as any group - "disabled people", "black people", "asians", "midgets", etc. These groups experience discrimination. There would be a major reaction if there were stickers referring to such groups. Fat people experience discrimination too, so similar logic.

    This is the logic that got Obama elected. Twice.

    Its called freedom of speech. You can read about it in the US Constitution. While I personally think you are a turd if this is on your car, i also feel you shouldn't have your right to look like an idiot infringed upon...

    Never seen one. Heard of them, but never saw one.

    But it's not the same thing as those, the above are all protected against discrimination by our pesky little government(& they should be).

    I understand completely the point you're trying to make...I get it.

    People experience discrimination for a lot of different things...you can't make them all illegal.

    I think the fake testicles hanging from pick-up trucks are worse personally.

    Actually, it isn't illegal for someone to discriminate against any group. Someone can refuse to date, marry, kiss, or give a ride to anyone they please based on whatever criteria works for them. Personal discrimination isn't illegal.. yet.

    which bumper stickers referring to which group would be "illegal"?

    It's disgusting, however, it should be protected as free speech. Of course, I also believe someone like that should have a hammer taken to their genitals .

    It was probably a really fat dude with the sticker, I bet?

    Ah yes....bubblegum fascism. Not quite as appalling as the real thing, but it's a sweet little start.
