I was watching Discovery the other day, and they were talking about how electromagnetic fields interfere with navigation instruments aboard ships and airplanes in the bermuda Triangle, causing disorientation and disaster.
Is it possible that electromagnetic disturbances created by enough magnetic ribbons, could create the same resutls in automobiles??
It's not just the magnetic stickers it's also the stainlees steel coffee mug. They need to be in close proximity to each other to get the right zen detachment from the traffic.
My favorite I've seen was one that just said "Soccer".
Just Soccer. I don't get it. I mean, sure, those ribbons were nice at first, but now they're just like any other sticker. Quit it, like really.
hard-left folks (with the anti-Bush, anti-war, etc. stickers. A subset are the Gay Pride folks with the rainbow stickers, the "I can't even think straight" stickers [I know, there are conservative/right gay people, but the few I know don't feel the need to advertise their life choice on their car])
stoners, who just think it's cool to have bumper stickers from all the bands they skipped work/school to go see.
The ribbons-on-the-car seems to be mainly the over 50 set here. (I saw a white Pope John Paul II ribbon the other day - not sure what that was supposed to indicate.)

Same goes for bumper stickers.

There are people who have more than one?

I like the two ribbons I saw on a site last week. They say:
"I support ribbons."
or
"I support more troops than you do."

Why do you hate our magnetic ribbons?

If I have to remove my magnetic ribbon, the terrorists have won.
Confession, I don't actually have one - just a bumper sticker that reads "Warning: unsocialized homeschoolers on board."

The more magnetic ribbons on a car, the farther Right the driver/owner is.
The more bumper stickers on a car, the farther Left the driver/owner is.

The best ribbon I've seen on any car:
"My ribbon is more important than your ribbon."

I'm waiting for this one:
"My ribbon can kick your ribbon's ass".
It could happen.

Actually, where I live, there are THREE groups of people who are likely to have masses of bumper stickers on their cars:
hard-right folks (with anti-abortion, prayer-back-in-the-schools, Bible verse stickers)
hard-left folks (with the anti-Bush, anti-war, etc. stickers. A subset are the Gay Pride folks with the rainbow stickers, the "I can't even think straight" stickers [I know, there are conservative/right gay people, but the few I know don't feel the need to advertise their life choice on their car])
stoners, who just think it's cool to have bumper stickers from all the bands they skipped work/school to go see.
