Welcome Aboard

What ever happened to the classic baby on board caution sign hanging in the rear window? This new-fangled version says the same thing but somehow seems strangely alien.

Perhaps it's Canadian? They do say wacky things up there, eh? Or could it be British? Leave it to the Brits to introduce massive confusion to our English language. They probably call this kind of decor "boot booty."

Either way, the image of the baby fills us with great American protectionism, kind of like the international symbol for choking. After all, if someone is gripping their neck, turning blue and gagging, there isn't anyone in the world who would think they are simply clearing their throat.
