Wombat: The full text of the billboard is "Do naked mole rats have nightmares about wearing #####?" and it's for the zoo.

Whenever I read the title to this thread I want to call the bowling alley and ask them if they have 16 pound balls.

Unlike Onstad, who of course will put his doodles on anything to make a buck.


Which is vastly more dishonorable than designing websites, flipping burgers or providing legal advice to a government agency to make a buck.

To say nothing of appearing on a damn gameshow!

True, but I never claimed that I wasn't a total man-whore.

Of course, neither has 'stad.

I hate when folks start charging for shit that I'm used to getting for free. Even though I'm just as guilty as anyone else of slamming people who complain about this, free shit should remain free, and it should be delivered in a timely manner. And it should be cutting-edge funny, too.

The free section remains unchanged. The paid section has no ads and has extra non-newspaper content. Like Smoove B.'s blog and shit.

I'm pretty sure the "Calvin Praying" sticker was an attempt to fight back at the "Calvin Peeing on Everything" trend.  Like the "Truth" giraffe eating the "Darwin" giraffe.  I love how American's now attack eachother's opinions on the backs of our vehicles.

While Calvin isn't really a prime candidate for being co-opted by the religious of America, he is named after a religious leader, and the idea of the little boy praying to the man God is a bit more fitting than the image of him urinating on the Ford logo.  I mean, Ford may not be the best cars in the world, but pee is still for toilets, bushes, and fresh snow.

Personally, I don't think the end will come until we see a sticker depicting Calvin peeing on Hobbes.

Whenever I see one of those stickers, I like to assume that the operator of the vehicle has a urine fetish. And then I like to ask the operator about said fetish.

I demand they mass market "My God Can Beat Up Your god" bumper stickers. I also found that was quite effect to yell at the people praying outside the March last week.

Yeah, i'm sure that the Calvin praying sticker is meant as a refutation of the crassness of the pissing on variety.  It's like pretty much every other aspect of modern religious pop culture, which is basically a parody of secular pop culture.  Whatever you care to name; there is almost certainly a smarmy Christian alternative.  I think it's simply an attempt to recast the Calvin image so Christians can get in on the craze, but I think it sends a strange message.  Of course it's entirely possible i'm the only one that sees it this way.

I actually started taking pictures of these bumper stickers once upon a time with the intention of making a photo study which I was gonna entitle "America's Holy War."

Before the Calvin praying sticker came into play I was thinking the logical religious equivalent would depict Jesus pissing on sin.

The idea of Calvin-pissing bumper stickers being adapted to the Protestant thinker is glorious. I'm really tempted to go make one right now.

All that made me think of was a sticker of Luther peeing on the pope, which would nevertheless be a fine sticker indeed.
