45. Worst I ever saw:
For years, someone who obviously worked at the school off of Sycamore Street in Arlington sported this sticker. I walked by it almost daily on my way to the Metro.

On the left side, it said "Abortion Takes A Human Life."

And on the right side of the sticker, there was a frightening graphic of a mutant child with a snout and flippers.

Every day I would walk by that car and grumble to myself, "you're damned right I don't want some mutant-ass baby with a snout and flippers."

Now, I have to admit I'm not the brightest guy in the world, so it was about a year before I realized that the graphic was not of the baby from It's Alive, but it was a picture of a fucking baby seal.

Postscript: as I was writing this, I decided to see if I could find it, and in fact I found what must be descendant of that original sticker, with a more coherent message and the same frightening graphic. But I swear it didn't say that back then. So look at this and imagine what it used to say, and tell me you wouldn't be a little freaked out by it:
