My Family is all that matters (apparently). Images of Canberra

Picture please! 🙂

This is a valid point. I have seen a few with single mums and a number of young children, one of these is regularly parked in a driveway of a house down the road from me and it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to put 2 and 2 together…’Aaah, single mum, no man in the house….I think I’ll watch her’.

You are basically advertising to anyone what your family demographic consists of. It’s stupid!

I like the My Family stickers. They have personality and convey an upbeat image of the occupants inside and their interests. Much better than those other stupid car sticker crazes of years gone by, namely the frangipani stickers during the noughties and the Bad Boy Club stickers of the ’90s.

Still doesn’t beat my “economists do it with models” rear window sticker.

Great photo!

Great! My daughter put some on our car a couple of weeks ago. I thought they are a bit naff, but harmless.

But now I know it irritates the hipsters I’m all for it!

The hipsters put the stickers on their cars fixed-gear bikes ironically.

Hahah – way to go Justin!

A more subtle take: http://bit.ly/sNTE7M

Add a sticker of Calvin peeing on them for maximum mash-up winnage!

These stickers are a lot like tattoos. They were cool and interesting until the bogan masses discovered them.

Werent they meant to Identify the highclass nobility such as yourself?

No. No they weren’t.

Of course I am not going to bring up that that is the only area clean on the car, as the person probably just purchased the stickers and did not want to stick them to mud, but here is a good set of stickers for the car;

I reckon they have more character and appeal, specially for the every day Canberran.

I’ve watched as these family stickers have slowly creeped down into the ACT- I first saw them on the Gold Coast this time last year, and they’ve slowly spread south down the east coast, like a vehicular cane toad or somesuch.

dunno i might prefer the toads

I don’t get the hate for these little guys – they’re a little bit of personality on otherwise dull, conformist boxes. Are they really so offensive you have to froth at the mouth about them? Wish I’d thought of the idea of making them myself!

Unlike those wretched frangipani stickers, Eureka flag or “Australia – love it or LEAVE” bumper threat that immediately mark the owner as an airhead teenager, irredeemable bogan or mindless thug, the “family” stickers cover all the demographics.

My favourite so far is a tossup between the little Hyundai with just a teenage girl and a horse on it, and the low-down-on-it’s-springs Tarago with Mum, Dad, 6 kids and a couple of dogs and a cat. Had I the spare money and time I’d love to sneak into where the local high school parks their bus and put 16 teenagers and a driver right across the rear window. That’s just me though.

lol, why would anyone else on the road care you have 2 kids, a dog, and daddy can ride a bicycle?

Takes the time to ensure folk can see his Sadipani family. But doesn’t bother to think of their safety by ensuring he can see out his rear windscreen. Speaks volumns.

Struggling to believe that someone got their Toorak tractor/child killer dirty.

Aerosol bulldust, surely? Or has the GDE already deteriorated to this degree?

Not sure about the GDE, but I think they were ‘resurfacing’ the Tugg-bound side of the parkway today (near Weston turnoff). So get ready for some gravelly off road action on the way home if you live down south!

The weirdest My Family sticker i’ve seen on a car would have to be two adults (mum and dad i assumed), and a baby with wings and a halo… not sure if it meant the baby was a ‘little angel’, or it had gone to heaven 🙁 …pretty morbid if it was the latter.

I am torn between intense loathing of those stickers, and gratitude that the Frangipani madness has stopped. What the hell is wrong with people?
