On the way to work this morning in Raleigh, NC, this new, sparkling, beefy, gas-guzzling truck was in front of me on the beltline. The bumper sticker on the right declares, "Don't be a girly man. Vote Republican."
In contrast, in my old neighborhood in Takoma Park, MD, you mostly saw Democratic-oriented bumper stickers, such as on the dirty, beat-up Chevy truck below. The messages on this car included: "I love my country, but fear my government"; "The last time we mixed politics with religion, people got burned at the stake"; "Go ahead and take my civil liberties. I wasn't using them anyway"; and "the best way to predict the future is to help create it."
My guess is that the owners of these two vehicles are both men and both are cultural archetypes.
Is that what you called advertising trough trucks, sticker on the ass "of the truck". It really sounds funny but somehow it makes sense.
