Support your local farmers!

I like that one too.

I found the gas pump and enlarged it and smoothed it and added the black text at the bottom and printed it out and stuck in on a sign, covering up some weird "Chicken DJ" sticker I didn't like. I covered the front and back with clear packing tape to "laminate" it. The front tape goes over the edges of the sticker and sticks it up. I'll see how long it lasts.

'Guess who's really DRIVING the Iraq war?'

'Are you dying for cheaper oil, or getting our soldiers to do it for you?'

"DYING FOR CHEAP OIL?
OUR SOLDIARS ARE!"

Short and sweet, remember it has to be read in less than a second.

I did a sign once for a comix shop - traffic went by at 50-60MPH and the sign blank I had to work with was triangular. I did "SUPERIOR COMICS" on it looking like the Superman logo, and often, while hanging out in the shop, people came in and said they'd seen "Superman" outside and that's how they knew it was a comic book store!! Tragically, the colors faded after a while, which disappoints me, that paint was supposed to be good for generators and farm equipment and everything, said so on the can!

The point is, short and sweet is the way to go! You know Reagan's "Points Of Light" thing? Well, that was originated by the anti-helmet motorcycle activists, the "points of light" were originally their lighters as they demonstrated by collecting en masse outside the Governor's house in California. But, it was catchy, and since it could be adapted to almost anything, it was.

"Burn oil, we boil" for global warming,

something,

we need all the catchy sayings we can come up with because I honestly think that the more peak oil is known about, the less of a hard crash we're likely to have.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Leanan', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')eah we tried the same bumper sticker...

The censors at CP said no...


Which bumper sticker did they reject?

Do they actually inspect every item in every store, or did someone complain?


No I spoke to the person that purchased it. It got printed, then the product was rejected (meaning no one else could order it). It still got shipped though.

I went out and did it!

I upgraded to the professional shop, so now I can have as many bumper stickers as I'd like in the store.

Several of the ideas that people have mentioned are now on display. If anyone has another slogan that they would like just let me know.

Where do the profits go? Do they support this site?

I like the slogans, but you might consider offering other colors. Perhaps consult a graphics artist? (There must be some who hang out here!) I understand why you chose red, but red text on a white background is the worst color combination for readability.

Interesting Bumper Sticker

Unread postby PeakOiler » Sun 23 Jul 2006, 10:29:01

I saw a bumper sticker on a small cattle trailer pulled by an F-250 the other day that stated:
"One American Farmer Feeds 53 of You."

How many farmers would it take to feed 53 people if the farmer used biofuels to power his farm equipment and trucks, (assuming biofuels are even available)?

Reminds me of that other bumper sticker...
"If you own it, it came on a truck."

Ahhh, what cheap oil has done!

If biofuels aren't available to a farmer, who could grow them, you tell me who.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.
