Bumper Stickers have a strange role in society. They espouse to all that can see and read the opinions, political views, sports affiliations, hobbies, and social practices of the owner.
After researching, I found that the bumper sticker was first invented after 1927 (when Ford decided to put a bumper on the Model T and call it a Model A-still only in black). The bumper sticker was first made of metal, like a license plate and affixed with a wire. After WWII- technology not only changed the world it changed our bumpers also. An adhesive was invented for military purposes but also put to home use. The bumper sticker transformed into a vinyl strip that can be applied directly to the bumper.
I wonder if a bumper sticker can decrease the value of the vehicle. What happens when a bumper infested car is trying to be sold. Let's say an agnostic meets a believer during the test drive. The agnostic approaches and reads "WWJD" and says to the owner "You could have sold this car had the bumper sticker said, 'Militant Agnostic-Idon't know and neither do you.'
I truly believe that bumper stickers can instantly tell me if I would like the person driving the car. For instance, I have seen and wanted to talk to the people with the bumper sticker that reads....."A PBS mind in a FOX news world!"
