Bullet Holes ???

[David]

I travel the road alot, and I have noticed lately what appears to be a new, but weird, trend: People placing "bullet hole" stickers and decals on their vehicles!



What's up with this?

Has anyone else noticed this new "bullet hole" trend as well?

 

[Rebeldon]

Yes. I think it's a tad bit silly.

I found this photo of what I am talking about:

These have been around for quite some time. MadOgre had a great rant about them a couple of years ago.

 

[Mark Tyson]

Seen 'em. They're tacky.

 

[HogRider]

I thought they were cool when they first showed up, but as always the newness wears off real quickly and now they are just another annoying attempt to make uninteresting cars look annoyingly interesting which I personally find rather annoying.

PS: I think this is the first time I managed to use the word annoying 3 times in 1 sentence.

Saw them the other day on a new H2.

Gangsta, hood crap. If anyone really shot at any of these fools, they'd cry all the way home.

Things like these decals don't usually get my blood up, but my first impulse every time I see one of those bloody things is to go up to the vehicle's owner and offer to give them some real ones, in .38, .45 and .30 caliber.

Truly odd what some people think are "cool"...

 

[luxone]

If they would ask kindly , I would give them some real holes for free!

Didn't we just cover this extensively a month ago?

David, where you been, man? they have been around for a while now. Perhaps they are just now making it into your region. Where are you at, your proffile shows you as incognito.

 

[David]

How did you know?

I am in Incognito, USA !!!

I wouldn't put them on my car. I did have some the "bullet holes in glass" on the front of a microwave oven for while. And putting them on the side of a computer seems like a natural....

Don't need fakes

Once, on a slow day, I counted 119 patched bullet holes on 1 side of a helicopter I was to fly. Gave up before counting the right side. Don't see the need for fakes.

I know a Deputy Sheriff in Clallam County who has them on his patrol car.

 

[P95Carry]

They seemed to hit up here about 2 years back ....... temporary fad!

Harley ........ annoying trend you's developing there!!

 

[willyjixx]

People who do that are usually wannabes who aren't fortunate enough to live in a city or neighborhood where real bullet holes are commonly found in vehicles.

They were around back in 1965.

 

[Gunslinger45]

I bought some decal bullet holes over 30 years ago. About 20 years ago I put them on the mirror in my bathroom. They looked fake.

It's the Hip Hop culture several famous hip hoppers have been shot, I can't even count all of them with my fingers on both hands.

Idiots abound.

 

[lycanthrope]

Oh come on guys. They aren't a serious statement and they've been around so long no one thinks they're real. In the right context, it's humorous.

 

[James Bondrock]

How about hats?

There is a baseball cap with a black-ringed bullet hole in the forehead that says, "My Gun Cleaning Hat."

"In the right context, it's humorous."

I guess I'm not contextual enough...
