What one bumper sticker on a rental car in Europe might make me look non-American?
   Advertisements [?]

I'm renting a Prius in Milan and driving around northern Italy and Switzerland in late May and early June. Dr. D. has a business meeting in Verona.
I want to be "invisible", with respect to being from the USA. I have a great beret that I'll wear, and European shoes. What else can I do?
I'm thinking of a simple bumper sticker that might be uniquely European .. or Italian (the Prius will probably have Italian plates) .. non-controversial .. that might make us more European looking.
I originally thought about slapping a DemocraticUnderground bumper sticker (I have many!) on the rent car, but that would let the cat out of the bag. Maybe.
Ideas?

Just move there,you have already proved you aren`t an American to me. :bird:

   A bumper sticker screams "American".

By the way, don't forget to remove that flag pin from your lapel.

Hey asshole don't be too anti-American in N. Italy.  They like us quite a bit up there.

If you want to look like someone totally unassociated with America, it's hard to beat a "Democratic Underground" bumpersticker.   

I have to say some of the DU comments are right at least with respect to northern Europe, bumper stickers aren't very common there.  It also better come off pretty easily unless you want to pay for two hours of European union labor to clean it off when you return the car.

Put an "America Sucks" sticker on your car. Do a little experiment on how anti-American Europeans really are.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
