Does this "Blue Shamrock" car sticker mean the Japanese driver is handicapped by too much Irish whiskey?

It looks more like white shamrock to me

Alcoholic on board?

Maybe the one with the wheelchair means you are physically retarded.
The one with the shamrock means you are mentally retarded.

If you see both stickers, then stay as far away as possible.

Think it probably means that you'll be lucky not get hit by this driver. :P

Doesn't the top sticker warn against people with big bubble butts?

Today I stumbled across this only-in-Japan factoid...
In June of 2002, Japan adopted the shamrock symbol to designate of handicapped parking. The Japanese logic was the international symbol of a wheelchair did not encompass all forms of disability (heart conditions, stroke, being Irish, etc).
---Japan-only symbol

---International handicap symbol

If this post is insinuating that all Irish people are drunks, some of our Irish members like Emperor may take offense at that. As a matter of fact as soon as he sobers up, I think he will want to reply post to this insult (I think he's got broadband in the pub)!

Hey easy on the Irish people!!!!! We are not disabled, just special. :P

[floatl][/floatl]Last week I just went in to renew my Japanese drivers license and an even more mysterious official car sticker confounded me during my license renewal lecture.
Does this sticker mean the driver has a brain full of butterflies?

Maybe I'm being cynical, but I can't help wondering if using shamrocks as a 'disabled' symbol and butterflies for 'hearing impaired' isn't more an attempt to keep disabilities (and the disabled) out of sight.
