CRAP or NOT CRAP: The act of putting band stickers on your car. Hell, I guess any stickers apply here, really. I'm curious about popular opinion on this one for some reason.

I'm thinkin' NOT CRAP if it isn't excessive.

On your car, crap. In the tollbooth bucket? Not Crap! Who needs a "street team" when you have the Interstate working for you?

If done tastefully - Not Crap.
As a moving billboard to advertise your personality - CRAP.

Since it seems to rarely be done tastefully, i'll vote CRAP.

I can definitely appreciate band stickers put in strange, unexpected places. I put one of my own band stickers on the outside of the Eiffel Tower, from the second floor. You'd need binoculars to even see it, but just knowing it's there cracks me up. I hear they paint it every few years or so...

Strangely, i've been seeing more and more band stickers appear on the inside of urinals and toilet bowls. That takes a commitment i will never have.

unless your car is a total reeking abortion disaster heap, stickers make it look cheaper. even if it's your friend's band, stickers on cars = crap.

I thought band stickers on cars was crap. Until I saw someone with a Ted Nugent sticker beside a NRA sticker, just under a "stay-home dad" sticker. I then realized i like bumper stickers on cars because they are a warning that whoever it is that drives this car, should be completely avoided at all costs.

Totally. Band stickers on my car are CRAP. Band stickers on others' cars are NOT CRAP because they serve as a clarion call, a shouted warning, a bright glowing neon sign that the occupant is NOT MY KIND OF PEOPLE.

Worst. Stickers. Ever.:

Jeebus fish next to Rusted Root and Amy Grant.

Dokken (!) next to Calvin pissing on Ford (or Chevy? can't remember.)

I like band stickers on your van when you are on tour. I think it is funny to beg someone to rip off your stuff while you are sleeping.

Best sticker for this (as it is also best T-shirt design to let people know you are in a band: "Zildgian"...it's a classic. Better than walking around a club with your drum sticks in your back pocket.)

I'd like to go around town placing "Live simply, so that others may simply live" stickers on the bumpers of Hummers and H2's that I see....

Oh, the Irony :twisted: :roll:

I did see a "Sierra Club" sticker on a Ford Expedition once, I shit you not.

Oh Yeah,

Band stickers on your car = CRAP

Except maybe a "Harmonicats" or "Ray Coniff" sticker on some old guy's Cadillac, then = NOT CRAP
