I've come to the conclusion stick figure families are the 'baby on board' decal of this generation

[DainBramaged]

why do they think we give a rat's ass?

[hedgehog]

1. I understand the stick families; I don't get the memorial decals;

what happens when the car is sold?

[Logical]

2. The baby on board signs were annoying. But I love the sticker you showed. Funny. n-t

[loli phabay]

3. i dont think they do it for you. ive found its more of a kitschy type of thing tbat families do

My kids were the ones who adorned their moms vehicle with them.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Grumpy!

[Skittles]

23. LOL

[CurtEastPoint]

5. I love this one...

[bullwinkle428]

6. LOL...I just drove about a 60-mile stretch of the interstate earlier today,

and couldn't believe how ubiquitous those things have become!

"My sticks can beat up your sticks"

[Initech]

7. After season 4 of Dexter, I will never put those on my car.

[Tree-Hugger]

19. This

is exactly what I think every single time I see them.

[Initech]

20. Heh the Trinity Killer might be the most bizarre villain ever created.

[Tree-Hugger]

21. Very true and John Lithogow was phenomenal nt

[Initech]

33. Yeah that was a very well played and very memorable role.

[union_maid]

26. Yes, that's what I think, too

It seems like they're presenting an inventory for anyone with bad intentions.

[LAGC]

24. I saw that episode.

Very creepy.

[xmas74]

8. My brother has Star Wars.

They sell them at thinkgeek.com

It represents their family more than a stick figure.

[DainBramaged]

9. yep

[xmas74]

17. That's it

Just not as many and no Jedi-they appreciate the Dark Side .

[DJ13]

10. I'm seeing this more and more

[gollygee]

11. One of my kids wants me to get those

and I refuse. I think they're annoying, and you're right, just like the "baby on board" signs were. I didn't do those either.

[Fumesucker]

12. Yep...

[SharonAnn]

14. Like my "Able brothers": Hardley, Barely, and Un (It's their nickname for themselves)

[benld74]

16. I KNOW that family!!!! No really I do,

[tblue37]

13. Who wants to announce to every potential creep in the

world that they have a certain number of little kids, or that, as one set of figures I saw indicated, the woman is now divorced and living alone with her kids.

I think that is just asking for trouble.

[niyad]

15. that is my thought, as well--have not seen the divorce one yet. wayyyy too much information

[tblue37]

32. I have seen it done two ways. One shows the whole

family, but with the Dad crossed out with a big "X". The other shows the whole family, except that there is an "X" where the dad is supposed to be.

[DollarBillHines]

28. I saw one of those a few days back.

Back in the Baby on Board days, I had a beat-up old van with a 2X4 bolted to one of the back doors. I then took a life-size baby doll and screwed it to the board with a 3/8" lag bolt thru its chest. A little red paint and Voila!

People would get pretty pissed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. ...

[Tien1985]

22. Doesn't bother me.

We don't have them, but I don't dislike them. I haven't seen the baby on board sign on an actual car (only in cartoons), but why would that bother people?

The memorials strike me as odd, because I can't imagine if you had to scrap it off to sell the car--or when the car died... I think that would upset me if it were on my car, but it doesn't faze me much otherwise.

What's the problem?

[PasadenaTrudy]

25. I hate them!

Breeders can be so conformist.

[sharp_stick]

27. Stay Classy Toots n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Really? I'm a breeder and I've yet to see stickers on the back of my car...

[one_voice]

34. Breeders?...

WTF?!?! We're not fucking dogs.

fucking classless comment.

[Dreamer Tatum]

38. Like your parents, for starters. nt

[TlalocW]

30. This is one from the Sheldon comics store

Gramps and Arthur the Duck saw in a Sunday strip.

The image.



The comic.

31. I don't know. It still beats Calvin and Hobbes urinating on a Ford n/t

[ManiacJoe]

35. The 'baby on board' signs were useful.

They are the equivalent of 'distracted driver'.

[DainBramaged]

36. That was the late 80's early 90's

It was like 'WATCH OUT FOR ME I HAVE A BABY ON BOARD I'M SPECIAL GIVE ME ROOM'



Bullshit, those kids are part of the me me me generation now.

[Fumesucker]

37. I have a neighbor that actually has a Baby On Board sign in their car

They even have the baby too..

[ManiacJoe]

39. I am sure that is what the purchasers thought they meant.

However, given the typical driving behaviors, they quickly became "distracted driver" signs.

[Terra Alta]

40. I find them somewhat annoying

Why would you want to announce to the world how many kids you have?

I wonder if mega-families like the Duggars have these. Their entire back window would be covered with stick figures.

[DainBramaged]

41. Where I live there are two indicators of Fundies in my Red county

the stick figures and Star 99.1 small sticker on the rear of the car. Star 99.1 a service of Pillar of Fire, a not-for-profit 501-c-3 organization that plays Christian music.


The sticker and the stick figures go hand in hand around here. Rarely are they seen separate.


They also have an 'approved' business listing that their listeners can go to .......... http://www.star991fm.com/Business/All

[Dash87]

42. I hate those stupid "baby on board!" decals - especially when the person driving the car

is driving like a maniac.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

43. That one was parodied as "victim in trunk"
