The first bumper stickers were mainly designed to attract tourists. For example, in the 1940s and 1950s, famous destinations had cat stickers made to recreate their official signs. The staff would simply walk around the parking lot and attach the promotional sticker to every car that came to visit.
However, people soon realized that this surface could be used for other purposes as well. bumper stickers to express political support were introduced in the 1952 presidential election between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson II. Now they can be commercial, religious, secular, in support of various sports teams and other organizations, and, of course, funny bumper stickers.
Bored Panda has collected the best of the funny stickers and made this list to celebrate probably the only thing in traffic that doesn't suck. Do you have a picture of a funny bumper sticker that has not yet been submitted? Upload it below!

Bumper Sticker For Adults
Originally the idea of the "baby on board" sign was so that if you were in an accident the emergency responders would know to look for a child (and if you didnt have the child in the car you should take the sign down). On another note, I should hope there's an adult in the car - kids shouldn't have a licence O_o.
Baby on board sticker on a windshield doesn't mean that the driver asks you to not hit his car. He asks you for forbearance for he would drive slower and more carefull because he has a precious load on board.
Yep. Agree with this one. I'm an adult and I wanna live too! :)
Bumper Sticker Wisdom
HILARIOUS. But it could mean that the reason nobody understands you, is simply that you're an idiot.
That fact that this sticker is on Bored Panda is a bit freightening...every 10th or so post starts with "As a truly self-taught artist in..."
Haha, four comments, four comments with downvotes. Obviously only humorless visitors so far. To a humourous picture series. :o

Bumper Sticker Found At My Local Wal-Mart
The LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil, but money in itself isn't bad. If you're going to quote the Bible, please do it correctly.
But, wait. You didn't even quote it correctly. "Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness..." You should heed your own advice. Churches and Pastors "begging" for money, while living in million dollar homes is the point of this particular pumper sticker.

God is simply an imaginary friend for grownups...as every religious person just picks and chooses which parts of the Bible to follow
There you go, b****s! Stick THAT in you pipe and smoke it, you bible thumpin' a******s!
The first commandment states: “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” But two of the seven deadly sins are vanity and envy. F*****g Hypocrite!
Thas right Emily! Tell 'em! Money can be used as a tool to bless many people. It all matters who has it...and a good church does not 'beg' for money!

I'm a minister and some of my favorite people are witches and lesbians. We all play on the same playground and dance amid the same moon light. :)
We cannot all relate to this one! Feel sorry for this person really. JESUS is TRUTH and LOVE! Folks just looking for it in all the wrong places and getting hurt over it. :( Sad

People that don’t use their turn signals are so lazy, it’s right there, they think that they are safe drivers.

One Bumper Sticker I Actually Agree With
Obama compared himself to Lincoln for no good reason, won a Nobel Prize for no good reason... so why not compare him to Jesus for no good reason?

Ummm, no, most people do not use the King James Bible. Christianity has the largest number of adherents world-wide, but the largest percentage if Christians are Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox, then Protestants (hundreds of denominations), and we don't use the King James Bible (written by 47 scholars and Protestant clergy members in 1611 CE.)Of the world’s major religions, Christianity is the largest, with more than two billion followers. Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and is approximately 2,000 years old. Its largest groups are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the Protestant churches, and its sacred text is the Bible.(not KJV, see?)
Despite the political bias and atheistic themes, good collection. Have fun in Hell. See you there!
