SpDyKen said:Okie, I have to admit to you, I really wanted to buy a BUNCH of stickers, to distribute far & wide. But I learned, about 35 years ago, from my dad, that the word "sucks" is, indeed, considered by some people as very offensive.
I did indeed contemplate this for quite a while; ultimately deciding that I didn't want to use something that some people might consider offensive to express my objection to what I feel to be offensive.
I am truely sorry that the interest was not there. I have even considered printing my own "LOUD STINKS!" stickers. It really is a good, and necessary, message.
I agree with you, 100%, on the "Ride Stealth" tag line being perfect! Best I can remember, the stickers, read "Loud Sucks! Ride Stealth".Krabill said:If you're worried about being offensive, go with the "ride stealth" tag line instead ;)
I tend to like "loud sucks" myself just because I want it to get attention, but "ride stealth" is pretty darn cool, too. "Stinks" just sounds kind of childish to me.
my .02 - take it for what it's worth.
My father was cast out of the same mold it would seem...I am still amazed how fast that man was when needed to get a holt of me. :whoa:SpDyKen said:I personally, do not have an issue with the word "sucks." My memory of my Dad's reaction to it, when I was around 14 or 15, however, is still crystal clear!
Yup, Ken, one of my childhood friends still brings up my Dad's speed from time to time when I see him. Then, while he NEVER struck anyone with his bare hand, that I saw or heard about, ever, there WAS the fact that he was a 3-time Golden Glove boxing champion, who lost a split decision in the final match of the U.S. Olympic tournament. :cool: :boss:knowiam said:My father was cast out of the same mold it would seem...I am still amazed how fast that man was when needed to get a holt of me. :whoa:
I need another shirt or two....
IMO, Ride Stealth causes people to stop and enquire.... In contrast, "loud Sucks" has the same impact as "Shut the F--k Up" Albeit, both are "in your face" slogans-they just don't seem to foster further meaningful conversation.
Count me in as a supporter!

Krabill said:Well, then how about instead of a whole forum and the relate fees that go with it, just a simple web page with a mission statement and possibly a couple different stickers and t-shirts for sale on it?g It would give those of us who want to spread the word a viable page to link to?
