Yellow "Support our Troops" Magnets

I have a football-shaped magnet that says “FUCK THE BCS” on my car.

Not to mention that the whole “tie a yellow ribbon” deal came from a song about a guy getting out of JAIL.

Does this mean that our troops are in prison? Tony Orlando really wants to know!

And you’ve done your best to fix this by demanding that the crew of draft dodgers in the White House either send their own kids over there to fight or bring everyone else’s kids home, no doubt? Don’t you think Jenna Bush Jr. should be worrying about something more important than getting carded at an inconvenient time?

Best way to “support our troops” is to get them the hell out of Bush-wah’s war. If he wants to go duke it out in Falujah, tell him to put on his little Prez fatigues and have at it. What a photo-op that’d be.

OK, I have to ask… Are these things for real? The reason I ask is the photos section of the site looks more like someone just did a poor job of Photoshopping their graphic on random car photos. Did you actually get one of these (and currently have it, not waiting for it to show up in the mail)?

Perhaps the people that help the troops the most are those that pay the most taxes.

The rich.
You’re welcome.

Let’s think about that… Nope. Definitely not.

That’s not the worst part. Around here I see those ribbons all over the place, and people are putting them on sideways. Apparently they think that since there is writing on the leg of the ribbon, it is supposed to be displayed so that the writing is horizontal. This is resulting in ribbons leaning every which way all over people’s pickups, and it just looks crappy. Or sometimes people can’t decide, so they put it on slanted so it is neither horizontal nor vertical, but veering off like a blind 2 year old attached it, usually with 2 or 3 others. It drives me to irrational amounts of irritation.

People, put the ribbons on if you must, but display them properly. See the ribbon? It is supposed to look like your car is wearing it, see? See how people wear ribbons with the loop up and the end pieces hanging down? Do it like that. I promise people will still be able to read what it says.

Oh, well…I’m sure that settles that.

Guess there is disdain for the folks that contribute the most?

Contributing what? Funding for an unjustified war? If you are not in favor of bringing the troops home NOW, you are not supporting the troops. Abusing their patriotism by ordering them to fight an unnecessary war is not support, it is desecration.

Why was in nessesary to bump this useless thread?

This says it all.

Well gee, I guess folks might just consider that those who are sending over their sons and daughters are contributing a mite more. Are they the rich ones you’re talking about?

Let’s just get American and co-opt the damn ribbon thing, that’ll get rid of it faster than middle aged suburban moms can kill an urban fashion craze.

White Ribbon: Charmin is all that touches my trunk!
Blue Ribbon: Pabst!
Black Ribbon: Black Flag kills VW bugs on contact!
Red Ribbon: Tampax, because nobody wants a red bumper.

I think that’s so they match the Jesus Fish.
