Latest Trendy Accessory: Bullet Holes

If you have a clean, shiny car, you're passe. Those who squander money on the latest foolish gimmicks are adorning their vehicles with fake bullet holes.

The magnets and stickers give "the head-turning illusion of a bullet-riddled vehicle," according to the Baltimore Sun and Wall Street Journal.

Stumped? So is Lena Pause, whose company Hardley Dangerous Illusions makes the fake holes.

"We started getting calls from Northern Ireland, Kuwait, Israel," she told the Sun. "I said: 'These people got to be crazy. What do they want with more bullet holes?'"

These are the coolest things. I first saw them on my parish priest's pick up truck tailgate. Then and there i knew i had to get them.

Know what i did with em?

I live in a subdivision outside atlanta. The homeowner's association is run by a bunch of nazi's who tell us what color to paint our house, when the lawn needs to be mowed, etc. I recently got a letter from the HO assn. warning me that my dog cannot deficate on assn property. All my neighbors have wives who are Martha Stewart clones: short hair, unfeminine clothing and mean, bit.... attitudes. Of course they all drive SUVs and talk on their cell phones.

The local safety nazi's in the sub petitioned to have stop signs installed at a T intersection where the is no traffic. This was ridiculous because the road perpendicular to the right of way already had a stop sign. Now everyone has to stop for no reason at all, other than worship the neighborhood safety nazis.

Those bullet holes look reaaaaal authentic when put up on a stop sign.

I could never waste my money on bullet hole stickers....not when I have access to the real thing.

Actually "There is nothing new under the sun" "Big Daddy" Ed Roth was selling those in the early 60s. They were moderately popular, until real bullet holes began to replace them!

Found it faster than I thought. This little program is less than 60kb's. Double click on it and then every left click puts a bullet hole on the screen. Just click "Escape" to get out of it. It's not something you install, and it only works wherever you placed it, like in a folder or desktop. etc. Copy it to several places, I guess.

Those have been around here for a long time, but not as long as real bullet holes.

Before you can fix bullet holes, there has to be bullet holes!

I live in a burb outside Atlanta too. My truck got a small concave dent in its tailgate so I put a bullet hole in the middle of the dent. Talk about realism!

That's for people that don't have bullet holes in their automobiles ... over there, if you don't have a few bullet holes you don't rate ... you're a nobody.

I am ready to provide trendy types with REAL bullet holes for their vehicles at $100 per.

I guess I'll be able to quit that day job now! :)

How dumb! I saw them too but I wasn't about to spend the 2 buck for those stupid things!

I just parked my car in the driveway and brought out my 9-mm and emptied half a mag in the rear end! Saved myself 2 bucks and the holes look more authentic! So there!

Danged realistic!

What will people think up next? For the man who has everything -- fake vomit, faux dog poop, fly-in-the-ice-cube, whoopee cushion -- let him be the first in his crowd with phony bullet holes. Put one on your mother-in-law's forehead while she's napping! The opportunities are endless.

Oh man ... if it is going to become "trendy" to have bullet holes on your vehicle, I may take mine off. I have 3 ascending and pulling to the right bullet holes (stickers) on the rear door of my jeep. Until you get within 5 feet, they are very hard to tell from the real thing.

That is a stressed out Lear! Hopefully it was aground when the shooting started.
