God Bless Our Vacuous Slogans (ribbon magnet)
The original “God Bless Our Vacuous Slogans” ribbon magnet decal. It’s a timeless message that never goes out of fashion, no matter what your political leanings.
These are high-quality vinyl covered magnets, about 3.5″ × 8″, just like the ones you’ve seen on car bumpers everywhere — but with a better message. They’re very durable: The one on my car lasted through three years of harsh New England summers and winters before it finally began to peel apart and needed replacement.
If you live in the US, just send me a postcard (with your address, please!) and I’ll happily send you one free of charge:

If you send me a nice postcard, I’ll add its front to the Postcards archive. If you send me a photo of your magnet on your car, I’ll add it to the Cars photo archive.
(If you live outside the US and would like a magnet, please order them from my online store. Alas, I can’t send magnets free of charge overseas — too expensive!)
So, spread the word! Participate in the genesis of a viral meme. Get a free magnet now, or copy the above design and make your own. I hereby submit the entire notion to the public domain.

This magnet has been stolen off my car twice, and off my friend’s car once. WE’ll keep asking for more, so whatever.
Also, I recently was at a red light in Austin when a homeless woman approached my car and started knocking on the window. Being a recently transplanted Bostonian, my instinct was to stare ahead, grip the wheel, and pretend to notice nothing. But she was laughing and pointing at the trunk of the car, so we chatted for a few. I gave her a buck. She’s a fan, too.
Thanks!
@Jess: Nice story. And you’re welcome!
