A sticker can be a display of cool logos or a political statement. But this kind of statement can spread much more efficiently than most. They are an artifact of someone's beliefs and an expression you can either love or hate. Are stickers just little labels, or are they a new form of art? Communication is a function of wealth--the more money the more widespread the communication. (Why do you suppose you never see any news story critical of big advertisers?) The Internet may allow one to narrow the odds, but only with the use of smarts--e.g. something that gets you "free" publicity--otherwise, the golden rule still applies on the Internet: dem wid da gold rule. Ah, but stickers are another world--da poor person's periodical, billboard or web page! A smartly stuck sticker can catch the eyes of thousands of passersby, day after day after day. Granted, most stickers push something commercial, but to do that well requires imagination, creativity, art. The point is that a sticker lets you communicate for very little gold. -Michael (co-creator of Ebola Stickers) I've seen political stickers on car bumpers all my life. But now it's starting to grow into something more. You see it everywhere. Its spreading like a v i r u s -Steelee (co-creator of Ebola Stickers)

Actually, we get this question a lot. EBOLA does not sponsor skaters. I just had the idea one day to call me friends the EBOLA team. Since we only make stickers as of now, a sponsorship is just plain irony. -Steelee   We visited your site today and thought that you might be interested in selling our gourmet steaks on your site. We will do all the shipping and pay you a commission for anything you sell. It's a great way to expand your selection and make some money at the same time. I hope you are interested and look forward to your response. Randy Resnick Dodge Inn Steaks http://www.dodgeinn.com Randy, glad you visited our site. May I ask how you got the idea for selling your product on a Sticker Site? Though I must admit it is an interesting concept, I do not believe EBOLA will be selling gourmet dead cows any time soon. Actually, more like never. We kind of have these loose policies here like: If it was bleeding, we don't sell it If it was crying in pain, we don't sell it If it was given growth hormones, we don't sell it etc. Thanks for the visit, holler back if you want to do stickers. -Steelee Matt from Spencer, NY wrote: Hi, this is Matt. I really admire the Ebola website. I never found a website as cool as this one. The Ebola web site has kept me on the computer for about 13 hours now all together. The computer has kept me out of trouble. I would be out skateboarding at the times that I'm not at the Ebola website but I'm still looking for a set of trucks, and wheels to go with the board I got about 2 years ago. I'm glad that my friend vinny bought me that stuff off your website for my birthday. I just turned 13 on the 12th of February. As soon as I get some trucks and wheel which will probably be in November I will start to skateboard out in my road with my friend. Vinny has this awesome board that has tracker trucks, speed demon bearings, Blind wheels and he has the board with the Blind reaper standing in front of a door step with a car crash in the background. That's why I had Vinny buy me the same one but the fingerboard. And plus Vinny is getting another new new board in July. I don't know why. I really wish that I had a complete board. If you don't mind I would care to try out any of your skateboard merchandise for free. Our trailer almost caught on fire a couple d of days ago but luckily me and my mom could pat it out. Too bad my dad doesn't live with us anymore he could have been a great help. Well I guess I'm done writting. sorry I wrote so much but I'll do anything for Ebola. Matt, glad you like Ebola. I hope you don't spend too much time looking at us, there's plenty other things out there for you to do. Its good you have a friend like Vinny. You know, when I was about your age I shared a skateboard with my brother. We don't make skateboard truck or wheels right now. When you do finally get a skateboard, I wish you the best of luck. I invite anybody who has any extra skate parts to contact me, so we can hook this kid up. -Steelee Fro_mo wrote: what is your most popular fingerboard in each of this brands blind,toy machine,world industries,and birdhouse. E-MAIL ME BACK I did e-mail you back about this, but I really don't know the answers. Its hard to keep track because we sell a lot of them. Does it really matter? They're all pretty cool. -Steelee
