That looks tellingly like an Unamerican.com sticker to me.

Srini, what the fuck?

Like I said in one of the umpteen SLUT threads, there are very good safety and practicality reasons why driving a Formula 1 race car on the Seattle streets would be a very bad idea. Yet somehow people seem to think riding race bikes on the streets is just fine, and any danger is the fault of the street design, not the fact that they're using the wrong machine for the job.

"This Machine Kills Hipsters" is a sticker supposed to go on bikes...

Statements like that on a car are, well, scary. As much as I don't like hipsters clumsily riding their fixies, I don't want them run over by cars!

@4 - of course, we can't use gap riders like every other major city with streetcars and bicycles ... that would be ... prudent ...

I'm slightly weired out, about 30 minutes ago I had a flash mental image of Guthrie's guitar with that slogan on it (probably because I was listening to a Billy Bragg song) and then I see a picture of it here on the Slog. Spooky!

Um... to conflate the "hipsters" of today targeted by this sticker with Woody Guthrie is pretentious in the extreme. Please. Don't.
