Besides, I love the cheapening of ribbon use to something so trivial. We're about 1 step away from a "Have a nice day" ribbon

The loveliest turd from a pile of shit is still just a turd.

3. I really want a Sharpie when I see one of those "W" stickers.
It needs a circle with a line through it!

8. I'm a fan of SUVs w/ multiple yellow ribbon stickers
They're MORE patriotic than people with only one yellow ribbon sticker.

14. So glad I skipped church today!
Ideas for this week abound-everyone in a military town has those damn magnets.

17. I can't decide if that's awesome or really rude
first off, i freaking HATE those ribbon magnets. but, i realize that people are free to their expression, no matter how contrived and cliched it is.

BUT, I also think that maybe by vandalizing them, people will think about what they mean a little more.... anyone have some insight here, because I've got the sharpie in hand but I don't know if I should use it!

19. Well, I have to admit, I have been very bad about this
My first reaction was to take the things off and toss them down sewers, up on roofs, stick them to the sides of elevator shafts... stuff like that.

Then I just took them and collected them.

Now I just vandalize them.

I am not sure where I am going with this rant, but this seems to me to be the most creative use of them.
