Bitter? I may come across that way, but I'm not bitter. More amused at the sillyness behind the stickers. They have their origins as beaurocratic red tape, and people use them for souveniers.
I've got nothing against the Outer Banks. I've been there before and it was perfectly nice. I had a good time. It's just not a region that I would consider remarkable.
The souveniers I get are usually t-shirts. And they are t-shirts that have pretty/interesting pictures or designs. If you get close, you may see a word identifying the location, but for the most part, the t-shirts are nice to look at for people who aren't familiar with the location, and they also remind me of my trip to the location. So they are not self evident, but that doesn't matter, because they are nice to look at, so no-one is challenged by them.
