But they’re much funnier in Texas than those lame-ass Nova Scotians. The hilarious thing to do in Texas is stick a decal on the tailgate of your pickup that makes it look as if there’s a woman tied up in the back of the truck.
Geddit? Killer funny, right?
At a glance, the decal is extremely convincing and acts as an optical illusion to make someone think there is an actual woman tied up in the bed of a truck.
But a closer look reveals that the optical illusion is simply a decal, and there is no woman in distress.
The decal is the handy work of Hornet Signs, a marketing and advertising company in Waco.
According to Brad Kolb, the owner of the company, the sticker was put on an employee’s truck to gauge how realistic their decals are.
Well of course. And they couldn’t have made it a decal of bags of groceries, or a rocking chair, or bales of hay. No, for purely technical reasons, none of those would have gotten as much attention.
And, of course, it has to be an obviously white woman. Because if any other type of woman was in peril, it wouldn’t merit notice or concern.
Ok…but…why? Why do this? I don’t get it. Who would think of this shit? I just don’t understand this fucking species.
Wow, that’s fucked.
It’s sad too, the idea of decal that makes it look like you have something crazy in your truck is a good idea. I would want like an R2D2 back there or something.
But no, they had to go to the tied up woman.
Why not a child? THAT would be “edgy” and “hilarious”!

I’d love to see buckets of radioactive or toxic waste that were spilling and eating through the bed of the truck.
Let’s see them make a sticker of a tied-up cop…
Or a dead cop.
When a dead deer is not enough.
Because what ever is enough for assholes?

That’s exactly how I felt after I saw the “ex-girlfriend” target dummy that bleeds when you shoot it thing. Just, what? Who could possibly look at something like that and think it’s okay? And think of the number of hands these products had to go through, from conception to design to placement and sale, the artists and manufacters and all the various people associated with a business, and no one pointed out how deeply fucked-up it was?
smh.
(hope this is ok to post, they say feel free to be contact them with any questions or concerns, after all.)
Couldn’t have gone with, say, a pair of large dogs, nope. Had to go with the tied-up woman…
The neutrality of the linked article is squicking me out almost as much as the decal itself. Yuck.
“Alccording to Brad Kolb, the owner of the company,”
Hey Brad is a male name, a guy would not likely think up something like that, must be a woman put him up to it, probably one of those feminists. They’re always trying to make us guys look bad.
Everything’s bigger in Texas. Including, apparently, a basic lack of empathy.
I didn’t think it was possible but a Texan has found a way to make truck nuts look refined and tasteful when compared with this decal.
Seems like there’s only one reasonable response: Whenever you see one of these, call it in to the police. Give them the license place, description of the car and tell them you saw an unconscious woman in the back of the car.
After the guy (and let’s not play around; it’s a guy who does that) have been pulled over a dozen times, he might think better of it. He won’t learn common decency because of it, but that’s probably a lost cause anyway.
I saw this when it was being passed around fb. Its disgusting in the extreme. >_<
