Bumper sticker

A bumper sticker is, usually, an adhesive label or sticker with message attached to, or designed to be attached to, the bumper of a vehicle (almost invariably an automobile, van, pickup truck, minivan or the like), for the purpose of being read by the driver and/or passengers in following vehicles. They can be political, humorous, or in support of a sports team. They may promote or attack a particular stand on any issue. Most bumper stickers are about 3 inches by 12 inches and are often made of vinyl. Due to the movements/wind of a moving vehicle, they have to stick very well; however, the George W. Bush Online Store advertises an "easy to remove" bumper sticker,[1] and magnetic bumper stickers also exist, occasionally made to be used as pranks by putting them on someone else's bumper.[2] One way to remove a sticker is with WD-40.
