I asked someone about that when I was in the US.

It's a cultural thing, the beak of the hat is suppose to stay crisp and straight, once the sticker deteriorates or the beak bends enough for it to fall off, it means it's had it's day. "Buy another hat you ghetto bum"

I personally hate those hats, but yeah. Apparently that's why.

@ Justin Bieber pic: Why do people wear hats but leave all the stickers on them?

It's the New Era brand sticker. Basically it's to show that you bought a fancy (more expensive) hat.

This is freaking hilarious, but I don't understand why he hates on the trumpets. Were they really that bad?

When I look at this the only thing that comes to mind is stomping that insect out. I'd wipe out it's entire species!

Yup. The whole leave-the-sticker-on-the-hat thing started because poor people would buy hats, leave them with all the tags on and then return them. It gives the appearance that you always have new stuff, when really, you're poor.

Just take 1 of those and hold it in front of you (Not facing you) and slowly twist it.

Yea I noticed earlier the poll was exactly 50/50 also and it was like 1400 votes each (the votes where exactly 50/50 not just the percentages, funny it's still so close).

It would've been alot funnier if people didn't vote for the one with less votes, that's why it's so close. Was the same with a JD/Flash poll awhile back.
