How far will they go?

I was driving to work this morning and saw the following sticker on a car.

I think it is an abbreviation for Salisbury, MA, but I can't be sure. I checked dictionary.com, but there isn't a salis to be found, however the acronymn finder had two results:
SALIS is School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (Dublin City University)
SALIS is Substance Abuse Librarians & Information Specialists
So I am going to assume not many people are proud members of the Substance Abuse Librarians & Information Specialists group and the sticker was for Salisbury. I think these stickers were cool once, but now they have become too mainstream. It is okay for them to have the three letter airport codes, ie. BOS, ACK, DEN, SLC, HUL. Five letters though now that is just crazy, what is next full city names such as the following sticker for The 'Bury

How far will they push the limits of the innocent black ellipse? Something needs to be done to curb this letter expansion before we end up with the following sticker.

Yes that is the actual name of a town. The town is found in South Wales for more info you can check out theCity with the longest name.
