Police Say Parody Of 'my Family' Stickers Offensive

Police say noose sticker parody of 'My Family' stickers offensive but legal | The Courier-Mail

A CAR decal meant to parody the popular "My Family" stickers has been condemned by police as offensive and distressing - but not illegal.

Sold online for $9 each by StreetFX, the sticker depicts two adults and two children hanged from nooses in what the Brisbane-based manufacturers admit is a "tasteless joke".

In an explanation on their website titled "a note to hate mailers", StreetFX states "a sticker saying that we are sick of some other type of sticker is a pretty funny concept in the scheme of things".

"At no point does StreetFX actually hate your family, nor suggest other people hate anyone's family - and the typical buyer of these stickers doesn't hate anyone's family either," the statement reads. "They hate the family stickers!"

Although police said the stickers did not appear to breach any laws, Inspector Ray Rohweder from the State Traffic Support Branch said they "would be offensive to a lot of people".

"People should really be cogniscent of the fact what they think is funny may be quite hurtful or in fact distressing to other motorists," said Insp Rohweder. But police would only ask motorists to remove stickers that blocked road views.

"If one person found the matter offensive, that in itself would not necessarily be cause for a police officer to remove a sticker," he said.

StreetFX did not respond to calls or emails from The Courier-Mail.

People need to lighten the #### up and have a laugh, stop taking life so seriously.

It gives me shits when a certain group or minority deems something unacceptable and wants to ban everyone else from using it.

Personally I think it's hilarious, people can put whatever they want on their car and I couldn't car less. If you don't like it don't look at it and don't put one on your car.

[Jesterarts]

I find it offensive having too look at those "My Family" sitckers.

Kind reminds me of this scene in Family Guy.



But, just as its these peoples right to advertise they have 3 kids and 4 goldfish, they should respect the right of other to have the "offensive" stickers.

Creator of anti-My Family stickers defends controversial Street FX noose parody | The Courier-Mail

That was the best reply ever... "If we can discourage just a few people every week from putting those stickers on their car, we have potentially saved a family from being robbed, assaulted, a single mother attacked, or a defenceless goldfish stolen from its tank,'' said Mr Trueno.

Brilliant.

That's kinda what the response from Street FX was talking about....

[ASAUTE]

Exactly. People with these stickers just make themselves look like no brain idiots.

I can't wait for one of these drivers to give me an excuse to do you know what.
