I actually asked a question regarding those ribbons a few weeks ago. I asked if those ribbons actually went to benefit the causes they were supposed to represent. Of course, we know that most of them do not.
And yes, slapping a yellow ribbon on an SUV during this time does make people look like giant pricks. Well said.
