nice or naff? the sticker family

No doubt you've also been seeing these all over town?


The Sticker Family - 15 options of Mums (shopper, worker, breeder, sporty - not a jelly belly in sight), 15 kinds of Dads (including a Muscle Mary), various kiddies and babies and pets.



I'm not sure how I feel about them really. They've very ... white? Middle-class? Suburban?

If we had a Sticker Family it would've looked like this this morning:

Sticker Dad on bike - looking well-groomed and calm

Sticker Mum in tracksuit with cap over unwashed hair (not pictured) carrying ....

Sticker Big Sister out to the car, crying 'cos she didn't want to go to school, under mistaken impression that if she stayed home her morning would be full of TV and ice-cream cones and devoted mummy-time ...
AND, under the other arm ...
Black plastic motorbike which MUST GO EVERYWHERE WITH US AT PRESENT.

Sticker Little Sister trailing behind happy and bright until she realised she wasn't able to actually sit on black plastic motorbike in car whereupon she screamed and thrashed and planked while Sticker Mum tried to do up her car seat belts and Sticker Big Sister whined on and on and on in the background and Sticker Dad looked cool and Sticker Dog tried to take advantage of general distractedness to escape out the gate to check her wee-mail.

Maybe that's what I've got against the Sticker Family, they all look so damn happy all the time.

What do you think? Nice, or naff?

  2. :) This made me laugh!
    As they are, I'd have to say NAFF.
    If they were to include "Sticker Mum in tracksuit with cap over unwashed hair" etc
    then I'd maybe think they're quite cute.

  5. Totally naff. I drove by a van once that had eight people and umpteen pets. Fish even. My fish don't even have names...

  6. Naff, totally naff. I am still waiting to find the time to make a baby sticker for my car that says: Satan on board.
