I am SICK and tired of everybody having a ribbon on there cars. They look tacky and the people who have them are self rightous SUV driving dolts. That's my opinion What's yours?

I use my nuts to keep dolts in their place.

Same thing is happening with yellow the Lance Armstrong cancer wristbands.

I was in a store the other day and saw a display of them. But instead of being bands to remind people of the need to fund cancer research, they had names on them so kids would buy them. They've now gone from being a reminder of a cause to a fashion.

Again, it's a simple equation compassion + commerce = product.

'nuff said.

No doubt if I see another AIDS ribbon, Rainbow ribbon or anything else like it I'm gonna curse them for offending my free speech......or something totally stupid.

We need a free speech ribbon.

WE DO

I agree. The ribbons are a load of crap in most cases. What I really think is funny are the ones that are "forgotten" on the car, faded to just a piece of yellowish magnet, words can't be read. The people put them there and forgot all about them. Very symbolic of the American public in general. Short attention spans for the important things, but they can remember what happenon the Soap Opera 20 years ago and who one the world series in 1970.

It's just another way to watch the herd follow the leader.

We need a 'support anonymity' ribbon. It should be clear.

We should ban Dilbert cartoons in cubicles.

I think judgement is a stretch ted...

Can we please just bring the "Baby on Board" signs back?

Ya know, it's sort of compassion meets commerce found exclusively at Walt-Mart. What I mean by that is that I'm sure that the first ones...whatever the ribbon was supposed to bring attention to...were put on...whther on cars or lapels...by people who really believed in the cause. Then someone like Sam Walton comes along and says: "Hells Belles, what's wrong with giving the people what they want and making a little more off of it. Isn't that the American Way?" Of course, since ol' Sam's co is a public company, profit margin has to be increased quarter over quarter, so making the product...as the ribbons eventually are called..is outsourced to China. And that's the way it is, to quote old Walter Cronkite. It's not good. It's not bad. It's not about free speech. It just kind of is. The unfortunate part is that the cause gets lost in the process or diluted at best. BTW: Those faded ribbons...well, they're just well intentioned consumers with a 28% APR $5,000+ credit card debt.

Then why not spring for a new one when the old one is peeling and can't be read anymore?

Plllluuuuuuuueeeze! They buy it to be "in" and then forget all about it.
