Ok, I have a bumper sticker that says "Visualize Whirled Peas." Does this sound like a retaliation for "Visualize World Peace" or do you think it's just a humorous play on the the phrase? I like to think it's just humor and light, nothing in retort. I'm just hesitant to stick it on my car without knowing exactly what message people will recieve from reading it.

When in doubt, Don't.

Is this slogan a mockery or an affirmation?

It's cute. It's funny! It will make people smile & that's the first step toward world peace anyway. & even if people take it literally there is nothing wrong with whirled peas. We could all use a little more green vegetables in our diets anyway! Don't stress about witty puns! It's just a humorous & playful positive affirmation!

All of us, regardless the religion tend to do that, to vote for the answer that is closer to what we think. I asked a few questions to Jews a while ago and I received answers from Jews and Christians. Of course, I voted for the best Jewish answer in my opinion, and I tried to choose the one with more details and with a clearer message, so that I could understand about a religion that I am not very familiar with. Most of the time, I vote for the intention (if the person is trying to teach me or giving me a good message), but I am sure there are lots of people that are seeking affirmation for their own beliefs, for sure. By the way, I believe in Jesus as a Master, but I am not Christian and I don't see Jesus as a savior. Peace!

Certainly it's humor geez. it's also designed for those so aware, as a METAPHOR.
Bumper stickers in this day and time are the best form of our ability to exercise 1st ammendment rights.
With NO OFFENSE at all,,, IF you have a statement you wish to make, and have no fear of what others think, why not go the route of reality. "Visualize World Peace" Isn't that a VALID statement that has real meaning without offending anyone? Gads.

It is affirmation if you believe in it wholeheartedly and mockery if you don't...It is both...Up to you how to use it for yourself. To visualize peace is impossible , that peace which we think we know is not peace at all, for within real war going on and getting on a surface time to time. We, actually live within Divine quality called Peace...In order to obtain Peace any each of us have to embody that quality individually.Perhaps, it is a matter of symbolical critical mass locally and globally...Back to your question...Some people perceive nothingness in it , some little more than that but no one take it seriously. Those who understand slogan deeply will not impose it for others but rather employ its meaning for themselves....Later on, if succeeded they would become a living example of embodiment of a meaning for others

The first time I saw that sticker it lifted my heart. In my subjective opinion, I feel that people who use visualization have a greater capacity for humor, so it fit to see 'whirled peas'. It's sure warmer than the HANG UP YOUR PHONE AND DRIVE sticker, for all it's practicality.

I always took it to be a mockery of the phrase "Visualize World Peace", the same way the Darwin fish was created in response to the Christian Jesus fish people stick on their cars.

sometimes i need clarification, sometimes I need truth, and sometimes i need affirmation.. but i try to always pick the best answer and not look at what religion the person is who gave it to me. honestly, if one answer just doesn't grab me and i am torn between two -- i will probably give the best answer to someone that is my contact.

I've always found that phrase amusing. One of my best friends (an avid conservationist) had the same bumper sticker on her car.
