False Advertising

How often do we see a sticker on a car and pull up alongside it at the lights and find a pretty obvious case of misleading and deceptive conduct?

When I see a "Magic Happens" sticker I want to see Dumbledore crammed in behind the wheel, his bejeweled hat on the front seat (or at LEAST a hippy with crystals). Not some 30-something guy in an Andy Sipowicz shirt-tie combo in a car with an exhaust that rejects the belief in a mechanic, let alone magic.

When I see a Playboy symbol I expect to see a hot 20-something chick with impeccable hair and makeup and "built in" airbags. Not the overweight and lanky haired 18 year old with stupid plastic white sunglasses driving with a death wish.

And if a guy has the "No Fat Chicks" sticker, then knowing a man's aversion to hypocrisy, I naturally expect an Adonis with Brad Pitt like abs lounging across the front seat, his intoxicating natural scent wafting through the open window. NOT the pimply faced fat virgin slurping his maccas coke and listening to the Venga Boys.

And don't get me started on the "Baby on Board" signs, asking for drivers to be cautious while the driving parent speeds and weaves with gay abandon.

In this fast paced world am I asking to much to be able to rely on the representation a person makes on their rear window? Should the stores selling such stickers not be held accountable for ensuring that people satisfy the criteria of displaying such propaganda? I can live in hope.

Now I just need to find a "I just realised I have baby spew on my shoulder" sticker and I'd be telling the truth 99% of the time.
