- tehWyman, on 08/19/2009, -23/+284Yup. The Yankees still suck.
- supermajic, on 10/10/2007, -7/+99From the comments: "I think the 'Yankees still suck' sticker gives this picture an extra edge. It's like "everyone is equal, Jew, Christian, Muslim... but oh yeah, no Yankees fans Funny :-)" THANKYOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!
- LoJack, on 10/10/2007, -7/+82"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mahatma Gandhi
http://sallymanda.stumbleupon.com/ - jlharrity, on 10/10/2007, -10/+58I assure you, while radical Islam might be bad, other religions have things to rival it. Don't single it out, because it's definitely not alone.
- vanquishx2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+49I like how half the idiots on here are dissing the coexist bumper sticker when the point of the story is the irony with the other sticker.
- BrainInAJar, on 10/10/2007, -14/+55I assumed you were talking about christianity actually, those jesus-freaks are crazy
- purple, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42Thank you for pointing out he was pointing out the obvious. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

The first symbol, the crescent moon and star, is commonly used to represent Islam. However, the symbol was in use for thousands of years before it was ever associated with Islam. Here is what it says on About.com about these symbols: "Most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon and sky gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana."
The second symbol is a peace symbol. The peace symbol was invented in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a London artist involved with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. After being used in an anti-nuclear protest, it gained popularity as a peace symbol, partly because it was easier to draw than a dove. You can read more about the origins of the peace symbol using this link.
The "e" is adorned with the symbols for male and female. According to Wikipedia, the male symbol (an arrow pointing away from a circle) is derived from the astronomical and astrological symbol for Mars.The female symbol (a cross-like symbol fixed to the bottom of a circle) is derived from the symbol of Venus. When used together, the symbols can signify intersexual or transgender. Read more about gender symbols on Wikipedia.
The next symbol is the Star of David, also known as the Shield of David. The symbol has been used since about A.D. 1000 to symbolize Judaism and the Jewish community. The symbol appears on the Israeli flag. Read more about the Star of David on Wikipedia.
The letter "i" is topped with a star within a circle. According to About.com, this is a pentacle: "The five-pointed star within a circle is the most common Pagan symbol, and it is typically used to identify oneself as a Pagan or Wiccan. The five points represent the 4 elements (Earth, air, water, fire) plus the spirit, and the circle connects them all. A five-pointed star without the circle is sometimes called a pentagram, rather than a pentacle. Based on numerology, the five points means the pentacle symbolizes the Earth element and can be used as an Earth symbol on an altar."
The letter "S" has been cleverly adapted to resemble the Taijitu, a Chinese symbol representing the idea of yin and yang from Taoist and Neo-Confucian philosophy. Yin and yang describe the two opposing but complementary forces found in nature. Yin is associated with shade and darkness as well as femininity, while yang is has associations with light and masculinity. Wikipedia describes yin and yang more fully.
The final symbol resembles a cross, which of course has come to be associated with Christianity and the crucifixion of Jesus. - chessimp, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27Not a religion. It's a pyramid scheme.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Something tells me you missed the entire point of this picture. Please, can you tell me why it's funny? I'll give you a cookie if you manage to figure it out.
- npsken, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23Everyone > Barry Bonds
- Beelzebub, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17i like http://www.stampandshout.com/shop/bumper-stickers/coexist.php because it has E=MC^2 for the E
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -8/+23we get it. you hate muslims. give it a rest.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+24It's people everywhere, not just religions. (Atheists included) Just look at the intolerance posted daily on Digg.com.
- khedoros, on 07/31/2009, -4/+17A loud minority. They annoy me almost as much as they annoy you.
- duality, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12He probably did. Unfortunately, the software running Digg has the habit of stripping line breaks from all comments that aren't at the top level. See for yourself. Just try replying to someone else's comment with a two- or three-paragraph comment of your own and see what happens.
- DiggzDE, on 10/10/2007, -7/+18***** the Yankees. haha.
- curme, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11What do you and Alanis Morissette have in common? You both don't understand the meaning of the word 'ironic'.
- Kratisto, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14Everyone but me should die.
- Steelfox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11This is weird, I was just looking at this tattoo when I clicked this article:
http://modblog.bmezine.com/2007/08/17/co-exist/ - ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Eh. I'll take belief in a costume over belief in a mystical being any day. At least I can buy licensed team apparel. None of the Jesus action figures I've found have God's seal of approval.
- duality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Most of them do. But the media thinks that this vast majority of religious people are boring, so they only really talk about the screwballs that make everybody else look bad.
- Xspire, on 10/10/2007, -8/+16Yes, because Jesus hates the Yankees.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+9Praise Science!
- ernasty10050, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9...which sign?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Then you should pay more freakin' attention. Ever heard of the IRA? Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serb militias in Bosnia, Christian militias in Lebanon, Hindu Tamil Tigers (who have killed more people with suicide attacks than Hamas, Hizbollah and all other Palestinian militias combined), Hindu attacks on Muslims in India, Jewish settlers on the West Bank etc.
- DIGGerPhelpsND, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I know replying to my own comment is lame, but the Maine government website for kids is awesomely horrendous.

WARNING: Contains excessive amounts of Comic Sans - hugeposuer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I think barfHammer had the best interpretation of it:
"
Actually, I interpreted 'Yankees' to refer to those who hail from north of the Mason-Dixon line. I fear that I am hopelessly enmired in the a glorious past."
This makes it so much more funny. - Moskie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12It is a well-known fact that Jesus does, indeed, hate the Yankees.
http://www.bustedtees.com/shirt/jesushatestheyankees/ - ICSU, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11every organized religion is scam
- Vicujozobenaxod, on 10/10/2007, -17/+24I agree with that sticker...
Tigers > Yankees. - mapez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I saw that bumper sticker last week, not even a week ago. I thought wow what a cool bumper sticker.
There must be a phenomena out there where you see something before it becomes relevant in your life or something of the like. - RamezaniK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Honestly, it does take some tolerance to put a bumper sticker on your car.
- vibilo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6There is. It is called the Baader-Meinhoff Phenomenon. There is a good article about it at www.damninteresting.com. I would give you the full link but their site is down for updates right now.
- roguetrick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6As I just woke up, I looked at that and saw "I like your christ, I do not like your Christmas"
I figured the guy just didn't like giving presents. - CptBuck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5well, no, the English use "Yankee" to describe any person from the United States. People in the Southern United States use it to describe anyone from the Northern United States. In any event, he's still wrong because "Yankees Suck" is the chant you'll here at Fenway park in Boston when the baseball team is in town.
- MutexDeadlocked, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance.
- Sparkster185, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Maybe because they pay one player more than some team's entire payroll?
- FadieZ, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6There are two things I can't stand: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
- ddxChrist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Having a bad day?
- robche, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4it can't be Scientology, because that would imply that Scientology has something to do with science, where it actually has more to do with crappy actors
- Dralha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I don't know the origins of life, and I don't know the origin of the universe. This is the sort of intellectual honesty that no religion has any regard for. Religions just make ***** up and pass it on as absolute truth with zero evidence to back anything up, rather than facing up to the fact that there are gaps in our knowledge.
- bleep1912, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You don't see the families of Christians, Jews or Hindus being raped en then brutally slaughtered by americans now do you?
- napsack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You mean kid duh? Captain Obvious was the first person :p
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4iPhone.
- Sparkster185, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3If someone couldn't read that, they are probably illiterate, thus they couldn't read your comment.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5O RLY? NO RLY.
- DIGGerPhelpsND, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4It's actually a Maine license plate.
