Car stickers
“#Baby on board, something something, Burt Ward#- this thing writes itself!”
Homer J Simpson.
So we’ve moved on from “Baby on board” stickers here in Shanghai:
Hmm, fair enough
Do you actually want me to hit your car?
(as seen previously)
Butterfly is slang for prostitute
As spotted on the motorway towards the airport.
The mind boggles, let’s not even get started on why there’s a manically depressed Optimus Prime sticker underneath.
If you liked that, you might like...
The spice girl one is in Japanese, so you can’t blame the Shanghainese for that one.
I love the Be Sharps
Baby on board, how I’ve adored
That sign on my car’s window pane
The bounce in my step, loaded with pep
‘Cause I’m driving in the carpool lane
Call me a square, friend i don’t care
That little yellow sign can be ignored
I’m telling you its mighty nice each trip’s a trip to paradise
I can and do blame the Shanghainese for it, cos I saw that sticker on a Shanghainese car in the car park of my office in Shanghai!
Personally I prefer the later stuff, when Barney’s Japanese girlfriend helped him take barbershop to strange new places.
Number 8- belch
I’m more disturbed that someone would spend money to buy a Peugeot 206!
Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s welcome celebrity commentator – star of BBC’s “Top Gear,” Jeremy “WoAi” Clarkson!
LOL @ T. Yeah he HATES Peugeots!
can I comment yet?
Yep- although it seems to be pretty unpopular lately.
The worst thing about car stickers is imaging the moment of that person on his knees, concentrated sticking that shit on his car…It´s really sad.
Anyway, that “Baby on board” stickers are so stupid, because it´s like “oh! There is a baby on board? Lucky that you tell me because I was about to FUCKING HIT your car before seeing it!, but now that I know that there is a baby on board, i´m going to hit another car withou´t one it, thanks!”
…I made myself clear? xd
I imagine myself driving in the dead of winter, just before Christmas.
The windscreen wipers are struggling to keep up with heavy snowfall, my car windscreen is steaming up and the traffic is heavy as everyone tries to get home to their families.
Just as I round a steep corner, I see a crowd of lights ahead- three lanes of traffic have stopped dead in the road because a deer has been hit. I slam on the brakes, but the surface is icy and I can’t get traction.
As I start to slide inevitably into the rear of the cars in front I panic but everything turns to slow-motion and whilst I cannot stop the inertia of the car, I can choose which way I slide.
Making a split-second decision, I scan the stickers on the back of the cars in front and think:
“Meh- Mama’s are a dime a dozen, there are only 5 true Spice Girls”.
My rental car also has the optimus prime sticker. One day i took my driver drinking, after a few drinks the secret came out: it’s a secret symbol for shanghai underground black society. These guys meet every once a month and listen to Cindy Lauper. It’s all true.
Sad Optimus Prime seemed to be all over VWs in Beijing. I think the transformers are real and are slowly taking over the northern provinces.
