Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Against Obama Before It Was Cool

Here’s a funny bumper sticker idea from Nicole B.:

i saw a bumper sticker that said “i was against bush before being against bush was cool.” the bumper sticker irritated me because it was dumb. being against bush was always already cool. [editor’s note: I can confirm this, having witnessed/attended a large anti-Bush protest in Austin on his 2001 inauguration day]

so i thought it would be funny to have a bumper sticker that said, “i was against obama before being against obama was cool.” is this funny? i think it’s funny bc like nobody is against obama, and being against him is definitely not cool, which means that it would be more believable than that stupid bumper sticker that i saw today about bush.

I love this sticker, because it sounds like it was either written in a possible future where Obama hate is hip, or it is just making a wildly incorrect assumption that it’s long been trendy to hate Obama (which obviously hasn’t).
