1188700 2011-03-24 02:13:00 I would buy one and put it somewhere, but having a charity sticker on your car seems to me like you're boasting about what a good person you are and that just rubs me up the wrong way. So yes and no!

Can't say I've ever looked at them in that way

1188702 2011-03-24 02:56:00 What about bumper stickers which could go on a bumper
Some think people don't want stickers on their cars these days.
.

A few years back one of the banks or finance companies in Tonga was doing a promotion which involved you putting their bumper sticker on your - if you were seen with it you stood the chance of winning a car or something (note: not sure if that's absolutely correct but you get the general idea). You ended up seeing virtually whole cars covered in them! (which, in a lot of cases, was pretty much all that was holding them together). Would that work in Invercargill?

1188703 2011-03-24 10:57:00 I wouldn't do that for a charity, no.

It's one thing to donate to a charity, that's all fine and dandy, but to gloat about it? I'm with Siobhan here.

I don't think displaying same is gloating as such.

Would you wear it year round?

1188708 2011-03-24 20:19:00 A simple sticker, yes. A large one, no.
IMHO I don't think such organisations that work away in the background get enough free publicity/promotion/recognition.
They don't go all out with bells and whistles, that's not usually their style, but if someone with a high public profile mentions any such connection that can be worth more than thousands of stickers.
Maybe I am being a little cynical, but sadly it seems to work in this world of froth and bubble.

Stupid stickers those as the car is liable to be rear ended as people try to read it.
I have never been sure as to if I am meant to drive more carefully or it is a warning to be more careful because of a distracted driver.:D
