    This guy gets it, try to really dig into your conclusions before investigating anything & anytime someone provides good reasons they aren’t actually true. Get really belligerent and obstinate when someone traps you with ‘logical reasons’ or ‘convincing evidence’. Then you too can maintain an irrational childish perspective through adulthood & never have to challenge your beliefs or learn anything even slightly uncomfortable.

      That makes me sad, because it’s probably true. Someone he lived probably got cancer and he somehow in his brain connected it to the dog. Grief is a hell of a thing

    Cancer dog (kanker hond) is a very bad swear word in the Netherlands.

      Is it a name I’d call someone or something I’d yell when I stub my toe? Or is it more like, “What the cancer dog!?” I can’t say it’s my favorite profanity.

        No it’s a name you call somebody, but only if someone really hurt you or screwed you over.

        When you hurt you toe you might say teering or tyfus (tbc, typhus)

    The full quote didn’t fit on the tailgate:

    “While the general population is commonly exposed to animal viruses and bacteria, many of which are known to cause cancer in animals, the etiologic role of these exposures in human cancer remains speculative. For example, animal oncoviruses generally are species specific and do not infect or replicate easily in humans. Nevertheless, animal viruses conceivably may cause cancer in humans analogous to human and simian polyomaviruses causing tumors in non-permissive rodents. Epidemiologic studies to date have provided little evidence that animal viruses and bacteria cause human cancer. Future studies will need to address the complex nature of cancer taking into account multiple interacting risk factors, and perhaps a non-stationary stochastic risk that contradicts conventional research design. The latter may be especially true given the waxing and waning behavior of viruses and bacteria. The same infectious agent may present and react differently depending on a host of factors including geography, seasonal variation and climate, population density, and herd immunity. Travel, hygiene, and cultural variation in food consumption and preparation among individuals further complicate the epidemiologic study in this field.”

        My mother’s maiden name was Smith, we had a family dog when I was young, the dogs name was spot, oh, and interestingly the last four of my SSN is 678. Weird right?

          My favorite movie is ‘From Justin to Kelly.’

          A movie about finding love in an unexpected place …Florida on spring break. It should give them pause.

      There must be some kind of logic here. Wrong as it may be. Like he loved his wife but he hated her dog. Then the wife died of colon cancer, and he blames that they let the dog in the house after it was out sniffing other dog butts.

    Thanks for the warning I guess? If only they’d used some of those letters to name their peer-reviewed sciet source for that information

        Setting aside cancer dog, 95% of the time when I see this lettering on a vehicle I know it’s probably mental illness.

        The other 5% is probably the best plumber in town

        Entirely seriously:

        I once dated a person with diagnosed schizophrenia.

        Obviously I cannot diagnose someone from their truck alone, but my first thought here is that this person is convinced their dog is being fucked with by their ‘handlers’ or ‘gang stalkers’, who have magic nonsense technology and tens of millions of dollars dedicated to fuck with him and his dog in particular, capable of using some kind of DEW to project thoughts and memories and voices into their had, beam cancer at their dog, etc.

        … Or, that is my own CPTSD from having had a fairly longterm relationship with a schizophrenic talking.

          I think it’s a poorly worded theory that dogs with colon cancer lick their buts and then lick you, giving you colon cancer.

          Possibly they heard about the Tasmanian devils with cancer on their faces that spread by biting each other. Or possibly they know about HPV and cervical cancer and extrapolated from there.

          It’s hard to say, but if they’ve had colon cancer and it’s been traumatic, I can understand wanting to get a message out. If you don’t have the education to do it other ways, mailbox letters on your truck probably make sense.

    Ah yes, the notorious supervillain Cancer Dog, whose main pet is casting ‘pervert cancer’ on his opponents.

    🎶 Cancer Dog, Cancer Dog, leaves you in a pervert cancer fog! 🎶
