Support Our Troops Decals
I’m sure most of you have see this decal or some version of this decal on a car at some point within the past 6 months. Whether it’s supporting our troops, supporting a cure for cancer, supporting peace, or just supporting your children’s school, they have popped up all over the place as magnets that you can slap on the side of your car.
What I don’t understand is why people put them on their cars like this:
Now, I was first introduced to these ribbons back when the Gulf War was going on. We all would get little ribbons like this and we’d pin them to our red plaid jumpers in support of the troops. The only time we wore them sideways was when we were too retarded to put the pin on straight.
So, why are people putting them on their cars SIDEWAYS?? Are they not coherent enough to read “Support Our Troops” when it is on an angle? Could it not fit on the car the other way? Is that the new “style” for this war and I just don’t know it?
Am I the only one that has noticed this and thinks it’s a little “off?”
maybe its supposed to be like the darwin thing.
or maybe its something about not supporting the war or troops or something.
or maybe they are blind like TRIPP, and they didnt notice it was on sideways.

TRIPP. Personally I think the ribbon thing is a little bit cliche now. There is a ribbon of some color to represent just about anything now. Lets think of something new to support the troops.

Just idiots who put the feng shui factor of their car over “Supporting Our Troops.” I had a friend who actually asked me when they came out what was with all the yellow fish ppl had on their cars.

Tim and I had many a conversations about these little things and I had come to the conclusion that I am so far out of it that I haven’t even figured out where to buy them… BUt honestly wouldn’t put one on my car anyway because they are way to trendy!!! as far as the alternate Support our troops idea I am a fan of!!!
