Sigh. Kentucky distinguishes itself again.

Do you think these bumper stickers were self-made or is someone actually marketing these gingoistic slogans to racists everywhere?

Why does the rest of the world hate us again?

As cheezy as they look, I would bet that these are "professionally" made and sold at retail to rednecks throughout the country.

I'll never forget the sight I encountered in an innocuous-looking tourist trap in central Arkansas. There was a huge display of bumper stickers with some of the most disturbing race-baiting slogans I've ever seen. I can't remember any of them off the top of my head--I've done a good job of putting it out of my mind.

Anywhere you find hillbillies with pickup trucks, you'll find this kind of racist nonsense.

I thought maybe this was a creation of some sort, but the location of the shadows seems to be correct.

Idiots.

You ever wanna see the cesspool of humanity, check out any of the Yahoo forums accompanying any news story. Any story - doesn't matter - it will inevitably contain the dumbest, most racist and offensive comments you're bound to hear regarding any issue. What's almost funnier/more pathetic are those who try to be serious and reply to the trolls and obvious idiots... :roll:

The northern part of my county is known as "Clarktucky County" in Washington State, and I've seen similar bumper stickers up there.

A friend of mine saw a bumper sticker in Mississippi that said "If we'd known it was going to be some much trouble, we'd have just picked the cotton ourselves"

I think the hippie they show is one of the guys from the Freedom Rock ad.
