Bumper Sticker Mentality

An inability to examine an issue in depth. An inability to get beyond the basic thought, which sticks in their head like a mantra, closing off all other avenues of consideration.
Due to Larry's bumper sticker mentality, he was unable to understand the nuances of an issue beyond a basic premise, as in "guns don't kill people, people kill people." He lacked the ability to think beyond the bumper sticker.

bumper stickers

Annoying and often Idiotic slogans, sayings and proclamations that are attached to the bumpers of the vehicles of usually rednecks or aging hippies.

These abrasive slogans are displayed by the proud owners in lieu of actual original thought and expression. Ditto for the stupid fishies that fundies adorn their autos with, smugly trying to project some sort of superiority, but only showing their boundless stupidity.

Sticker Shock

A problem that affects people as soon as they try to buy groceries in Alaska, Hawaii, New York City or San Francisco.

Also very common at cheesy 'upscale' nightclubs in nearly every mid to large sized city in the United States.

From what I understand there is a seriously acute version of the disease in London too. Not sure if the British variety is contagious.
In Alaska everything is imported so prices are higher resulting in early sticker shock. When you start to notice that even products produced in that state (i.e. petrol, weed) are way more expensive than they would be elsewhere in the U.S. the condition moves beyond sticker shock and there is a new word for it: Gouging.
