June 2, 200718 yr I have seen many 3-4" dolls hanging from cars/pickups near there back bumper underneath. Why, it kinda looks satanic to me. I have run over many of these dolls that have dropped off there hanging place. What is the deal with this ritual????

June 2, 200718 yr There was a thead in another sub forum about this a couple of weeks ago. The Thais I asked said it was just another craze.
June 2, 200718 yr My wife has just told me its to show that they have kids in the car and will drive safe ?????????
June 3, 200718 yr If you run over one of these it is good luck!!!!! You're one luckkkkkky guy mumbojumbo!!!!
June 3, 200718 yr Was talking to a guy today who told me that, though this idea has turned into a fad, it was started by people who had accidents especially fatal ones and believed a ghost of the accident followed them. This doll is to warn off would be ghosts.
June 3, 200718 yr Author Was talking to a guy today who told me that, though this idea has turned into a fad, it was started by people who had accidents especially fatal ones and believed a ghost of the accident followed them.This doll is to warn off would be ghosts. The "baby on board" made more sense, but why not put the sign in the back window, and what does that mean??? Just because you are approaching a BOB sign in the back window, means the people will slow down and be more careful.??? Maybe these dolls are like the ones they use in Haiti, etc. They want all the rain sludge and stuff hit them and inflict pain.-My liew.??

June 3, 200718 yr It's how TRT anti gov't plotters identify each other...by the dolls they have under the cars. They're kind of miffed that you've been running over so many of their dolls, mumbojumbo, and when they get back into power you are going to be in deep doo doo.
June 4, 200718 yr There was a program about this on Thai TV a couple of weeks ago and they couldn't really come up with much of a conclusion. They thought it started in Japan and the craze moved here. It is a bit weird. They had a good picture of an extreme though, which was a 6 wheel truck with a HUGE tweety pie hanging off the back. My dog likes to snatch them off parked cars!
June 5, 200718 yr mumbojumbo's avatar looks like a ready made undercar lowrider!!!! It does... doesn't it!!! Taoism: shit happens Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us? Atheism: I don't believe this shit
June 22, 200718 yr Thai TV news has announced that those dolls under rear bumpers are not only inflammable and thus bad luck, but illegal. So - maybe non-inflammable Jatukams instead?

Yes, the Japanese are very much into cutsey dolls and stuff in their cars. On the rearview mirror, back and side windows, etc. Never seen one on a bumper here in Tokyo... Maybe the bumper thing is a Thai variation.
June 22, 200718 yr several Thai I talked to about this, think it is another Spirit stuff. Supposed to be for drivers who runover a living creature (human , animal ) and who want to be protected from the bad ghost......Honestly, this is so new that it sounds more like a trend. Explanation was not very convincing anyway.....The Japan connection makes more sense to me
June 22, 200718 yr The beginnings are very simple... Once a long time a go there was a girl band group called the spice girls. All the people in Thailand were afraid of this strange group of untalented creatures so they choose to ward off the music by placing dolls of the girls(Scarey spice was the most popular) under their cars to stop the spice girl movement their music and even some say a movie that they made. This is the humble beginnings of the dolls under cars tradition.
