Am I a wierdo?

Wyoming Libraries have mounted a library publicity campaign which includes an image based on the MudFlap Girl:

I LOVE the Library Mudflap Girl. However, many female (and some male) librarians are deeply offended by her. I can see their point. But I still think she's great and I want a silhouette of her on my car!

She's also being used to promote the statewide subscription to Chilton's.

I also love some of their other ads...

and the Cold Dead Fingers bumper sticker:

Which I consider the ultimate retort to certain pressure groups...

Oh, and an MP3 for Liam: Wicked Elk Hunt

There's a postmodernist term for taking a symbol of the dominant paradigm and twisting it to serve your own ends. I *think* this is what this is doing, but I'm a third wave feminist and NOT a postmodernist at all....?
