so we have all seen them. the bumper stickers that have spread like wildfire. a very simple and clean design that started with W.. representing the Presidential candidate, who would of course win (twice). but now.. i've got a problem. because you see, individuals (who usually mean well) have taken this great design and have ruined the appealing aspect of it. They are everywhere. There is just about every letter out there representing so many different things :: C - the River, D - the Party, J - the Messiah, even with two letters :: BR - the Governor, Al - the University.

I know that the creators of these stickers wanted to provide a cool and trendy emblem for their vehicles that made a statement, but they have forgotten the key aspect to the design.. the W is what the President is known by!! No one calls Bob Riley - BR. No one calls the Cahaba River the C. and yes, I'm ALL about my boy JC.. but still.. can we as Christians not get original in our designs for our Savior.

Elections are on the horizon. Individuals are looking for new ways to advertise their candidates.. all I'm asking is please, let us lay to rest these design. It has had its run. Lets call it The End. other than one using the letter F, there was nothing close to the original.
