Internet Bumperstickers


You know those image-button-link things that you put on your website? Like the ones further down my blog for blogger and dreambook. Thene there's probably the most famous one of all (which I don't feature - I'm just not hip enough ^_^); The 'Netscape Now!' button which has been perverted and rehashed for everything from 'Anime Now!' to 'Rank Furry Dead Animal Sex Now!'. I like to think of them as my own personal internet bumpersticker.

Of course, nowadays people use those things on the rear windshield. With the economy running at breakneck speed, people are always buying and selling, and having little sticky bits of socialist propaganda permanently attached ot the paintwork or trim of your prized vehicle can lower the value somewhat. In fact, the only people you generally see with genuine 'bumper' stickers stuck to their 'bumpers' are poor festering students who are studying music technology or something else so misunderstood by society at large, that they will never be able to afford a new vehicle and will be forced to drive their 7th hand 70s era Honda hatchback that smells like a cat peed, then rolled in the pee, then peed some more, swallowed it, choked and died, causing it's bladder to reflexively open and expell more pee to surround it in it's final resting place, for the rest of their natural lives.

Or until the car breaks down. And they have to apply to social services for one of those motorised cart thingies with the crappy novelty number plate on the back, and the big fluoro orange flag that says, "DANGER!! Old person approaching! Run away or else you'll contract his infectious age!". Or something.
