I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but it is an interesting aspect of human nature that we feel the need for other people to know that we are something in order for us to feel like something.

I'm a pretty serious mountain biker, and I've thought about putting a "RockShox" sticker on my truck before (it's a brand of suspension that I use). I've never done it, mostly because I found myself thinking "Why would I do such a thing? Why should I care if other people on the road know that the driver of this random black truck in front of them likes mountain biking?" The whole thing seemed kinda silly to me.

Jeez.

It is obviously a vanity issue.

That being said, put stickers of whatever you want wherever you want.
I wouldn't ghetto up my car like that, but live and let live.

Do you feel the same way about those who frame and hang a diploma ?

Pretty much yes, think my college diploma is somewhere in a box in the back of one of my closets.

Most tend to have some sort of badging. Depends on what you look for.

I dont care what you did with your diploma rather I simply asked about your view of others who displayed theirs

Mine is framed, but it hangs in a room which no one but my wife and I go into. I guess I'm trying to still show off to her and all the dust mites.

I think they should all be beaten, then infested with fleas onto their crotch and have their hands shacked to a wall so they can’t scratch, then beaten again, then stoned to death, then taken to be tortured until they admit that ironman stickers are about vanity and are idiotic.

Wow, why the snarkiness? grmi66 answered your question. The first phrase of his or her response was "Pretty much yes."
