I was hoping this thread would get turned into "what kind of lame sayings can I photoshop onto this sticker"
you know for the sake of bad jokes and neil hamburger. I don't personally have anything against trackstar for making a lame sticker.
... wait, did he say "we won't be this pretty forever"??

i dont get it... is that a turn around on "dont be a dick" or another way of saying "dont be a *****".
either way basing a sticker like that around a inside joke is kinda weird to sell to the public. I find it kinda offensive, It would have been better to keep it withink a group of friends than to risk having people say "dont be a vagina" because they feel its somehow associated to the whole "scene" around fixed riding.
whatever, im dumb... ill buy 2... one for my bike and one for my penis

Not even worth it.

Stupid stickers rule.

i thought this sticker was pretty stupid too. but, then i thought, that is the point of it. it is so stupid that it's funny. now i have one on my bike.
it really does capture the essence of those trackstar guys.
cali's huge "vaginas are way cool" sticker also cracks me up.
well, i gotta go fight captain hook now.

to the over-sensitive PC-types, it's a sticker. lighten up. they have a shirt sitting a few feet away that says "i like riding bikes more than boys." why the hell do people take themselves and everything around them so seriously?

I don't think its that funny... I think its just the delivery... maybe one that just said "VAGINA" would be more concise... Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, stickers should be brief.

You people think too much. It's a fu**ing sticker, why are you critiquing the f**k out of it so much? It's not some grand philisophical statment, it's just a gag for the people that work there so I don't think they sat down and had a long brainstorming session involving focus groups and public polls before deciding on the sticker.

actually, I'd say there's a real good argument for critiquing the f*** out of it on many, many levels. But that's waaaay beyond the realm of what's discussable with the people on this forum. It's obviously confrontational, and it's no surprise that it has ruffled some feathers.
