Cars And Stickers

Lately there seems to be a growing trend of modified cars the streets, all sounding very much like the cars you see in the movie Initial D (about car racing).

There also seems to be a very weird trend of sticking up the car with stickers of the car owner's name and his girlfriend's name, with their blood type, for instance:

TAN AH BENG A+
CHOW AH LIAN O+

What's the fad? Sounds pretty stupid to me though. Given that those flashy MUGEN car stickers or RALLIART are already sort of overdoing it, what's the practicality of putting up these kind of stickers?

1. If you break up with the girl, you have to replace the sticker, and custom-print a new one. As if the break-up wasn't bad enough already (if you're the one who got dumped).

2. If you are the one dumping, that's even more lame. You'll be actually looking for things to spend money on (by needing to replace the sticker).

3. Attention-seekers? Or, more appropriately, attention-whores? Go on, tell the whole world who's your girl, man. Be my guest. Seriously, NOBODY gives you a flying shit as to who your partner is. Unless your sticker says (just an example, no historical accuracies whatsoever):

TOM CRUISE A+
NICOLE KIDMAN A-

or

BRAD PITT A+
JENNIFER ANISTON A-

THEN maybe I would hang around for a few hours waiting to see the real deal.

Otherwise, I simply won't give a f*** about what your sticker says. The most I would do, is to use your car as a support when that chewing gum gets stuck on the soles of my shoe.

So, given that NOBODY would give a shat about what your sticker says, why do you need it there for?

1. Are you suffering from amnesia? You forget who your spouse is most of the time, and need the sticker to remind you? You really should spend the money on a good doctor to cure your amnesia, for it might be an indication of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, you understand? Stop wasting money on those lame stickers and GET A GOOD DOCTOR!

2. Are you trying to tell other girls to get outta there, and stop trying to pick you up because you already have a girlfriend? Oh come on, you can't be serious right? Sounds like you got an inflated ego.

3. You've run out of RALLIART and MUGEN stickers to paste, and thought up of this idea? Yeah it's such a good idea that it turns me off. Why didn't you stick your name with your family tree? Then it can cover both sides of the rear passenger door windows as well? That's an even better idea right?

This is such a weird world.

The real reason would probably be that they want the nurses in the ambulance that arrives (when they get in an accident) to be able to administer the proper care ASAP. Since they have stated their blood types (clearly) on their car, they should find the proper blood bags already prepared for them when they arrive at the hospital.
