Not quite the same thing, but: in high school a friend of mine had a
promotional bumper sticker from the movie Christine, based on that Stephen
King novel about the haunted car. The original sticker read: WATCH OUT FOR
ME. I AM PURE EVIL. I AM CHRISTINE.

He put the sticker on his car, but first he cut off that last sentence.
