(Unless, of course, they eloquently and humorously express my precise opinion :) However, I don't believe that people display bumper stickers to convince or persuade others; I think it's merely a vehicle for stating your opinion, in a world where a lot of people feel unheard. In keeping with a WWTW blog last week, I think the jury is still out on how effective sarcasm is for persuasive communication.
