Bumper stickers used
to make political point
AMARILLO (AP) — In Amarillo,
Mark Morey is about as close to be
ing considered a good neighbor as
maybe Frank Zappa or Andy Kauf
man.
He enjoys being an irritant.
Rather than making people feel
good about themselves, he’s more
interested in skewering certain so
cially cherished ideals. The more
pompous and self-righteous the
claim, the more he loves to deflate
it. And one of his sharpest lam
poons is his own car.
“I hate bumper stickers, actually.
I guess you could say that the car is
an extreme case of reaction forma
tion,” he said from behind his desk
at the Amarillo Art Museum, where
he is the curator of education.
His car can be seen as a Darwin
ian progression from his first stick
er, a plain AAA identification. That
one decal has mutated into a
wicked herd of pop culture run
amok. The front fender commands
you to “Kill Your Television” and re
minds you that “We Are The Veal.”
The trunk boasts a sizable pink tri
angle with the slogan “I’m Straight,
Not Narrow-Minded.”
“One of the reasons I started
putting stickers on it was to identi
fy it. I can’t tell one car from anoth
er because of all the blandness and
conformity,” he said.
He sees his car as a literal mov
ing target: a lightning rod for the
wrath of those who take themselves
too seriously. Whether the car is on
the road or parked at the mall, it
continues provoking and perturbing
its viewers. But he can be perturbed
himself, he said, by the roving slo
gans on the minivans and sport util
ity vehicles wheeling around town.
“I’m offended by bumper stick
ers I see on other people’s cars.
There’s a kind of hateful smugness
implicit in the one that says, ’My
child is a good citizen at such-and-
such school.’ What it really needs to
say is, ’My child is a compliant
sheep, and I wouldn’t have it any
other way,”’ he said.
Morey said he saw a PBS docu
mentary about people and their
bumper stickers and that he felt a
kinship with one man featured in
the show.
“This guy said something to the
effect of ’Why do you need to share
with everybody on the road who
you voted for or that you heart cock
er spaniels?”’
The sarcasm is all well and good
for adults, but Morey recently found
out that children may not want to be
as culturally forward as their daddy.
“We pulled up to a place in
Wolflin Square, right between like a
Mercedes and a Lexus, and my
youngest, who’s about four, said,
’Can’t you have a normal car?’ She
was troubled by it, but she came
around,” he said.
Another PBS documentary about
art cars helped his two daughters
shed some light on their father’s
mobile masterpiece, he said.
A drawback to driving an eye
catching car, particularly one fea
turing scantily clad biker chicks, is
that people feel the need to reach
out and touch the stickers.
“I have people assault my car.
The devil girls are a hot rod cultur
al motif and they are big-chested
and nude. I put stickers, little smi
ley faces, over the private parts and
people will come and pull them off.
I have to do a bumper sticker check
everyday. But, I have found that
when I cover the parts with little
American flags, they’re left alone.
People seem to be loathe to dese
crate the American flag,” he said.
Morey aspired to the satirical
pantheon of cartoonists who make
their living by regularly slamming
the status quo. But, as fate would
have it, he did a stint in the Air Force
and came out realizing that he would
be better suited to working in the art
world from behind the scenes.
“I found out that people would
pay me and willingly listen to me
expound on art,” he said.
He worked for the Dallas Muse
um of Art before moving to Amaril
lo in 1981, where he met his wife and
raised their two children. He teaches
art classes at West Texas A&M Uni
versity as well as filling in art’s back
ground for patrons and docents at
the Amarillo Museum of Art.
