Isn't That A Prince Song?

Jesusdied4UWhile dropping off the kids at preschool, I noticed a truck with a bumper sticker that read "JESUS DIED 4U". Putting my rational and skeptical commentary about that statement aside, just the fact that the bumper sticker uses"4U" instead of the English version "for you" was disturbing. I mean, did they have to pay the letter or something? Why the need for the shorthand? Did they text in their order from a cell phone? Or is our country really slipping that far into illiteracy?

Come to think of it.... isn't that a Prince song?
