Due to immense pressure
By sovknight | May 17, 2008
Not really. I just thought I’d say that.
I have had a couple people ask about the sticker though. I’m going to re-post it, but with a disclaimer.
These stickers are really popular in Utah. They depict a little family, with a mom and a dad and some kids and maybe a dog or a cat. Outside of Utah I’ve seen them with five or so members, but here in this state the bloody things cover the entire back windshields of SUVs. Mom, dad, eight or nine kids, four dogs, two cats, and I’ve even seen a pet turtle. In some other cases, I’ve even seen them with a dad and two or three moms and kids. Probably a joke I’m sure. At any rate, family is big here.
Even so, I’m not sure everyone realizes how people from other places look at these. Perverts and criminals see them as lists for kidnapping subjects. Lots of people even depict their family complete with names below them. Almost an advertisement for unsavory people.
Those of us that aren’t sick-minded (at least not in the criminal sense) see them as highly amusing and a more than a little odd. I mean, I love my family and all, but I don’t need to display them in effigy on my car for everyone to see. To each their own though.
My sticker was just a humorous little take on road rage. It wasn’t meant to be perceived as a hit list. It’s just a joke.
So here you are.

I’ve never seen those stickers before. Are we driving on the same roads? Your version is pretty funny in a sick twisted little way.

We got some here in the OH but not that many and usually its just the four and maybe a pet. We have a lot of the ones with like a big soccer ball and the kids name. You those kids probably suck at the sport. I find those more annoying than anything. At least the little family doesn’t take up 3/4 of the back window like the soprts themed ones do.
Oh and I promised myself that I would never put stickers on my car that advertise my family. Its just silliness.

I haven’t seen these either but I’ve seen a new one cropping up that says “Utah, Life Deviated”. Which makes me feel warm and fuzzy, since I’ve “elevated” my life about as much as I can handle.

Haha that’s awesome. If those things were as popular here as they are there, I’d want one.

[...] not for traffic violations though. Maybe they simply weren’t displaying the proper sticker in the rear window. I don’t [...]

HAHA! I’ve seen some parody ones. X96 has it’s own set too of their DJs.
I want to get a set that looks like Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and then two or three Jawas. lol
