Ambiguous Advice from Your Mother

     posted 23 August 2008 by Michael Scott Moore

  1. I actually saw a very similiar, if not the same, bumper sticker the other day and my twisted mind thought, and said outloud to my wife: “Yes, save the virgins for normal 16-year-old boys who will be just as awkward!” It’s a brilliant marketing campaign. I mean, no scumbag should bag a virgin! My wife pointed out that she didn’t think that was the point. I protested a little that no virgin should get stolen by a scumbag and she agreed. So I said, “that’s the message!” She laughed. It was a funny exchange in bad traffic.

  2. This must be some internet movement or something, but we saw another of these messages tonight. I read bumper stickers (sue me)... my wife was in the grocery store and I had the dogs, so I rolled down my window and shouted support for the bumper sticker. With a raised fist! I yelled, “Save the virgins for people who aren’t assholes, they will be more tender.” The lady unloading her cart a car over laughed. The woman who owned the car didn’t see the humor, I guess, maybe, kind of, well, you know…she looked at me mad.

    Mike: Did you steal this photo someplace or is there some mass idea that this would be good on bumpers? I tried looking a little online after the second time I saw it, and I remain a finding the answer virgin. They are all slightly different, but the sentiment is that same. Save the virgins for the kids and nice people, right?

    I still laugh at how idiotic all the wording is in the quotes.

  3. This photo is the fruit of honest field research in Berlin. I took it on the way to work.
