Wow. There's quite a bit in there. Some sentiments I agree with, but I'm flummoxed as to why one would willing give up a means of communication.
I hate words on clothes in the literal sense for what it means, and I agree with the oft repeated Warhol quote, but I feel this whole article is some silly moralization.
Plus I know plenty of dull dressers that are, in fact, themselves very dull. My experience doesn't bear out this idea that the most interesting and unique people don't exercise "visual signalling."
I don't wear clothes with slogans and try to avoid visible logos. I prefer not to be a blatant billboard for companies that aren't paying me to advertise. But it's also just an aesthetic thing. Logos and fonts on clothes are usually just ugly and distracting. Nor do I feel the need to embellish my car with bumper stickers letting everyone know my political and religious affiliations or the bands I like or the fact that I love cats or hiking.
Haha. Yeah.
What about a pattern that incoperates lettering?
Like a subliminal message hidden in the pattern?
Great new avatar btw.
Telling, then, that most of the ones I see are Dem. Heyoh!
Zing.
But to be fair, it seems a pretty even split. Depends on where you're driving of course. Either way, I DON'T CARE!!
Well, yeah. Of course. That would be hidden by my trouser leg.
If I ever get my old truck painted, I do kind of want to put a Kennedy/Johnson bumper sticker on it, just to complete the look.
I must conclude from the article that the Amish are to a man (and woman) interesting people. Satmar Jews, are as well.
You know who I find tedious and uninteresting? Judgmental people. Moralizers. You know, the modern day barbarians.
Hahaha. In hindsight, it seemed somehow futile.
HAHA!
