Texsox Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 This came out of the Arkansas B-Ball team stopping the practice of wearing pink jerseys when they are loafing. I need a frickin' chart to keep all these straight. Can we blame this "movement" on Tony Orlando and his stupid tie a yellow ribbon song. Which BTW, was about a guy getting out of prison! http://www.productsforthecure.com/pages/ribbons.html PINK Breast Cancer LT.

Soxy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yes, but not because of the pink jersey thing--but because there's really no meaning to them anymore because they're so common... I do, though, have a child abuse one and sexual assault one on my bookbag.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 They're really lumping so many in with one ribbon. What do I wear if I want to show my support for Children with Disabilities and Religious INtolerance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally hate those things. Very little or no money goes to the cause, and it is just another commerical opportunity for American's to show off where modesty should be the rule.

You support American troops... no s***, don't we all? I was reading the local indy media paper here on campus and they had this political cartoon -- the back of this guy's car is covered with ribbons and two men are standing next to the car. One guy is asking what the ribbons are for (pointing to different ones), to which the 2nd guy responds "support the troops, breast cancer research..." and so on. The first guy says "Well what about that one?" The response from the 2nd guy: "I have no idea but it keeps my hatchback from falling apart."

Capn12 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I might get a bit torched for it, but man I'm tired of seeing 5 ribbons on someones car window. Great, you wan't everyone to think you are passionate about a cause...there are better, MUCH better ways to show it than putting f***ing gargantuan ribbons all over your back window. Go do something that might actually help teh cause... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 This is the beauty of America. We take a nice sentiment or even a good idea, and cram it down everyone's throat until it stops. In this case, it was screwed up from the earliest I can remember the whole ribbon thing. During the Iran Hostage someone with an IQ hovering around room temperature heard that Tony Orlando and Dawn song about tying a yellow ribbon and did it for the hostages. Next thing you know, K-Marts everywhere are out of yellow ribbons and if you don't display a yellow ribbon, you must be for the Iranians, you un-American not displaying a ribbon commie. I'm comin' home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do If you still want me If you still want me Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree It's been three long years Do ya still want me? (still want me) If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree I'll stay on the bus Forget about us Put the blame on me If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Bus driver, please look for me 'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see I'm really still in prison And my love, she holds the key A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free I wrote and told her please Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree It's been three long years Do ya still want me? (still want me) If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree I'll stay on the bus Forget about us Put the blame on me If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Now the whole darn bus is cheerin' And I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)...
