'Funny' window stickers.

The sticker means "If you tailgate me, I will brake for no apparent reason". It's a variation on "I brake for hallucinations", not a variation on "powered by fairydust".

So basically it says "I'm an utter tt"

It amounts to "if you are a tt, I'll be one back (and it will be your insurance which pays up)"

Pretty stupid, though I would imagine usually a vain threat from someone who is simply sick of having mouth breathers attached to his back bumper.

I think it's a bit wrong, I joke about most things but that's a bit gross, I just don't get who you think would look at that and think "what a great joke" Before you say it I get it it's just IMHO not funny.

The Spunk I found in petrol station shop and was instantly reminded of the SLR vs Powerboat Top Gear episode in which JC tries it. I can certainly confirm, Spunk does not taste nice. At all. I didn't swallow.

FWIW, I'm not bothered about the bear and don't find it any more offensive than the previously mentioned Brass Eye/Monkey Dust jokes. If people want to get excited and go all Daily Mail attacking paediatricians with rage, it's up to them. I probably won't be losing any sleep over it, but thanks for your opinion. I'm sure I can find other things to worry about.

No, iirc it was the underground carpark of the DAS Hotel in Hamburg.

Family friendly estate with teddy bear sticker, what's not to like? Right? Those that know about it, get it. Those that don't, don't.

Anyway, just for you Kerrly, to show I take my bears seriously

I'm with Zippy on this one. Wonder what your passengers think.

You wouldn't drive round with an 'I love Gary Glitter' sticker in your car because you might get your window put in.

The irony is as not many people actually know what the bear sticker implies, or will make the connection between the estate car being a family car, you feel 'safe' enough to display it.

Can you imagine having to explain it to someone who asked what it meant

Although it is kind of funny that I know everyone in the family before I meet them.

That's an impressively organised kill list?

My passengers either don't know/notice it (95%) or are aware of the paedobear meme and find it amusing.

The rather major difference between Glitter and the bear is that Glitter is actually a genuine real life paedo, whereas the bear is a cartoon character mocking the 'OMG peado!!!1111eleventy' type response.

Are people really struggling with the concept that paedo bear is not a 'pro paedo' symbol? I wonder if people are reading WAY too much into this.

99% of the people out there, won't care at all as they will just think it a teddy on a family car. Those that know about the meme (ime never think it offensive) find the irony of it on a 'family estate' of particular amusement.

Anyway, it's staying on. And if it saves just one single life annoys one single moaning PHer, it'll have been worth it.

The bear character may have initially been used to 'mock' paedophile hysteria on various internet chatroom forums but it is now considered in the mainstream to be a symbol of paedophilia.

Not really "Window" Stickers, but the guy who lives across from me owns 2 Vauxhall Frontera's, one of which is about 2 metres off the floor, Scuba Snorkel Exhaust pipe, a huge winch, Orange flashing lights and 8 huge halogen lights on the roof (looks like something off Jurassic Park!) but he has stickers plastered all over it... my personal favourites are "Hell Razor" under the drivers window, and "Attach your stranded little toy to my tow bar" with an arrow in bright yellow letters on the back. I just dont understand.... :/
