Ann Cannon: Bumper stickers are hardly the word of God
10 comments | Read story
So if I read the sign that says, "Baby on Board", I'm thinking there's no need for a pregnancy test. Got my "sign" straight from heaven. That's the best economic news so far. Free Pregnancy tests people! Just keep your eyes on the road!
And Ann, were you listening to the Christian radio station? Or just flippin through? I'm curious.
Others of note: "Who says crime doesn't pay?" and "Drive it like you stole it." (Is that begging to be pulled over or what?)
And btw, your columns have been so great. I look forward to them every week. I especially LOVED the one about the boy that carried your flowers for you. I hope someday one of my sons is so service oriented.
Best bumper sticker I've ever seen:
My letter from Hogwarts didn't arrive so I'm moving to Forks to live with the Cullens.
I must tell you my daughter's favorite bumper sticker: "Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?" Pretty much says it all.
And I have to add that your last column about the THONGS had me almost rolling on the floor. It was hilarious.
"I'll keep my car insurance, my mortgage, my health insurance, and Obama can keep the 'Change'!"
Right on Ann. How apropos. Just last week I wrote my first letter to the editor. The one that pushed me over the edge was about how "if God were alive he would have wanted us to use up all the oil in the ground." I paraphrase liberally.
I am always squeamish when someone says, "if the founder fathers were alive today". That comes from both sides. I like that music, art, writing, means different things to different people depending on where they are now, or their life experiences. But to put words in someone Else's mouth seems wrong.
Earlier this year there was an article about Ted Hinckley, (who I like a lot, and admire his work), about his doing soundtracks for movies, and he said, "if Mozart were alive today...". And ruined the article for me.
Regards, Jack
I enjoy reading the signs in front of various churches, like "Free Faith Lift", or this one seen at Christmas time, "God Is Making A List and Checking It Twice."
