So, given that Hillary Pierce is ALSO in Massachusetts, and they're ubiquitous here, that makes sense. They're so common here that you she probably didn't know that they're not common elsewhere. Making it a CIDU for everyone without Massachusetts connections.

It was there when I got it as a hand-me-up from my daughter. Not that I'm not a fan, but I didn't put it there, and since she's a big fan I didn't have to ask what it was about. I assumed that all the other stickers I saw on other cars were for bands too. Naturally, I haven't been too successful in deciphering which bands. Now I know why.

The smashes may be yours. Back to the cartoon: It’s satirizing both the place-ovals AND our trend toward compacts & hybrids. The devil doesn’t care about global warming (better stated as climate change), so he drives a big ol’ gas-guzzling convertible rather than an economical car.
