This is a bumper sticker I saw today.

Pretty pathetic isn't it?

omg i might have to drive straight into a car with that sticker

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:23

No it's quite amusing tbh

TeddyMcardle · 18/05/2011 18:23

Eugh.

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:28

Tell you what, lets' not laugh at anything! Let's all be misery bastards with no sense of humor.

Let's not not play with words and make puns. Why should we, that will be too much like having a bit of fun. Let's take everything dead serious.

For Fucks Sake Miserable fuckers!

I really want one of those for my OH's car!

FabbyChic · 18/05/2011 18:29

It's not too sad at all.

Get a sense of humour.

BelovedCunt · 18/05/2011 18:29

get a grip upahill

cheekeymonkey · 18/05/2011 18:29

Don't get it Blush

Takeresponsibility · 18/05/2011 18:29

"Divorce changed my husbands". Can you get that on a bumper sticker?

squeakytoy · 18/05/2011 18:30

I cant see what is so bad about it. Confused

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:30

Grin @takesresponsibility!

I know, I though Zumba looked like fun when I have been sat BF-ing my DS watching info-mercials. I thought it was a new thing, so am surprised at this carppy bumper sticker. It just seems like such an old-fashioned very dated sexist joke.

I had to do a double take- there was another sticker on the car that said in hot pink- "Whores Wanted" Shock then a web link- but the link was to tiny for me to read.

Made me think the driver of the car was an idiot.

Why beloved?

geraldinetheluckygoat · 18/05/2011 18:31

what IS zumba, exactly?

pointissima · 18/05/2011 18:31

I don't understand......

BelovedCunt · 18/05/2011 18:32

zumba is aerobics

penguin73 · 18/05/2011 18:33

It's a form of exercise based on dance such as salsa, flamenco etc - really good fun. Think aerobics meets the latin bits of strictly come dancing!

CandiceMariePratt · 18/05/2011 18:34

I went to Zumba for the first time the other night and legged it out the fire escape halfway through, just couldn't do it

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:34

Sure I can get teh 'Whores wanted' being 'off' but not the Zumba.

Also this is dead true, and I nearly said it before a bloke at work has been going on about his wife doing Zumba at home every day for a few days and then a day off and following some diet and loving it. He was saying how infectious the music is and how she is loving dancing around. So perhaps it could have been Mr .......... driving round with that sticker!!

ongakgak · 18/05/2011 18:35

It is just another cheap pop at women supposed to look good for their husbands or else they might lose them!! It's that kind of "Take my wife, no I mean take her!" type of humour. I think it has had its day, and women do not need to hear that kind of crap whether it is in fun or not.

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:37

Give over ongakgak!!

geraldinetheluckygoat · 18/05/2011 18:39

ah ok! I would be really shit at that, can only just keep it together coordination-wise at aqua aerobics...

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:42

Well to be honest ongakgak when you say women do not need to hear it, I liked it, Fabychick thought it was funny, penguin liked it. Just texted a few friends with it and got lols and happy faces back so speak for yourself not for me.

pingu2209 · 18/05/2011 18:45

It is a man's joke. I don't think it goes down well with women.

upahill · 18/05/2011 18:48

No it's not a man's joke. It is a joke! It is a play on words. It's not detrimental or demeaning to women at all.
