Bitches, bogans and bumper stickers.

When did it become acceptable, if not desirable, to be illiterate and unpleasant? I ask this pointless, self-serving and clearly rhetorical question particularly where bumper stickers are concerned.

I will admit, I once had a (regular sized) bumper sticker declaring, "If it's too loud, you're too old." I don't recall it in exact detail but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some spelling or grammatical mistake on it. But hey, my music was GOOD! :p

I now stick to stickers from various wildlife organisations or causes that I'm a member of/care about.

There were just so many stickers to choose from, I had to pick the ones I could rant best about.

Regarding the bitch thing, they probably enjoy it for the same reason you take pleasure in your friends calling you an asshole or bastard (usually after you've said something witty but degrading to/about them).

As for the bogan thing, I agree entirely. And I love you for that rant.
