bumper sticker

Vehicle adhesive message

A bumper sticker is a small adhesive sign designed to be displayed on a car's bumper, typically bearing a slogan, political message, or joke: My other car is a Porsche.

The format has become shorthand for oversimplified arguments: You can't reduce foreign policy to a bumper sticker.
