By the by, Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, of course has nothing to do with this epidemic of "Calvin pissing on things" window decals - he's never really licensed the characters for anything. It must be so odd: To lose control over your creation, forced to watch it perverted and debased, and there's little you can do about it.
I'll say this though: Bumper stickers/decals are excellent clues in making snap judgements about other people. You can tell so much about a person from what they choose to stick on their car. Or hang from the bumper, in Truck Nutz cases.

I'm voting for irony. I can't imagine a redneck having the word "testicles" on the back of his rig. Also, the rig looks like a hipster vehicle: an International Harvester Scout? As driven by Dr. Jack Shephard. Also, who hates Dale Earnhardt? Only people who love Osama Bin Laden hate Dale Sr.
I hope so! But I could see it go either way.
If it is a hipster, than kudos to you, redneck hipster.
Lots of people hate Earnhardt - I've seen Calvin pissing on the number 3 plenty of times up here.
It does look like a Scout.
I don't think anywhere in New York City will you find the number 3 on a rear windshield or Calvin pissing on it. Maybe Staten Island. Okay, now you've given me things to look for.
Not in Boston, mind you. North. But now that I think about it, it was just a couple of years ago I learned what these silly numbers meant (oh! NASCAR!), so maybe I've gotten it wrong.
First one with another picture of Calvin pissing on 3 wins a big prize!
