Is this a south Florida , or southern thing ?
I've noticed these stickers on the back of mostly pick up trucks and ricers, and mostly since 9/11...but are these window stickers showing up in any other parts of the country?

"In the memory of...(insert deceaseds' name...and the dates they lived)"
....like a tombstone on the back of the car window.

Again; I just don't get it. To me that's a bit disrespectful to the person who passed away....like people on the road want to see this????

I understand the "Remember the NY Firefighters."; but "Remember Chocolate Vinny"...????? Again no disrespect, but to me this is not the right place for a memoriam.....and who wants to see it?

Lack of taste and decorum know no geographical boundaries.

It happens out here too. (AZ) I don't know. I think it's kinda like biker patches that say "In memory of Spider" etc., just a wider audience. The one I didn't get was the one that said "In memory of Steve P. Miss you big brother. Loud pipes, Big rims" which I would have somehow understood if the car in question looked like Steve's beloved ride of whatever type; but it was a bone stock Toyota...

Markers, decorated with faded plastic flowers, memorializing a traffic death. I never saw those anywhere when I was a kid except in MX. Now they're all over. Is this a custom introduced by our southern neighbors?

Unfortunatly, white trash permeates our society. Look at what's on cable tv. Florida has it's fair share. When my family(from western europe) came to Florida to visit Disney they were horrified. Florida is a cesspool, I wish I could catch the guy who has been stealing my garbage for three years. I am pretty sure it's the hick that lives a few houses down.

WOW. That is SO refreshing to hear.....I am from NYC; and horrified is an accurate word to describe the trash in Florida.........

Now I want one that says, "Remember the Night Rider."

Maybe I can get it from Mel Gibson's publisist

The trash isn't esclusively white......take a look at the people who were looting New Orleans....

Trash knows no racial bariers. Its equal oportunity.

The "In Memory" stickers on rear windows isn't a geographic thing, we have them out here. There was an article in the newspaper about them. It turns out that they are the result of improvements in the sign printing business. With the advent of computer controlled die cut equipment, sign makers have been promoting the rear window decals.

True. However white trash has a unique attitude that must be witnessed to believe. Along the lines of: POT KETTLE BLACK.

Are you saying the black people in new orleans are trash because they were 'looting'. Looting is a subjective term when describing what they were doing. I remember seeing pictures on Real time with bill maher showing blacks and whites in new orleans.There were 2 white people who were in waist deep water holding bread and something else. The caption below it said something to the extent of them 'finding' food at a local store to feed themselves. While a black kid with the same thing as 'looting' food from a local store.

anyway,

Are you a racist?
