elfsYesterday, while Omaha and I were driving around, we spotted a car with a bumper sticker and in big letters it read, "Cars Don't Kill People!" and then underneath it in much smaller type... well, we couldn't make it out.
I pulled up next to him and Omaha tried to read it. We were at the optimum distance possible for reading his sticker, and the most Omaha could make out was "Cars Don't Kill People, People Who Drive [unintelligible] Kill People."
Omaha said, "People who distract you with really tiny type kill people!"
Look, if you're going to make a statement, make it in a way that helps your cause, okay? At 96 DPI, a bumper sticker should be at least 48 points per ex, folks. Capital letters should be one full inch in height. Otherwise, you're just going to piss people off.
