We Get It

Dear America,

Can you please cool it with the oversized ribbon magnets on your cars?

I think it's safe to assume we all support the troops stationed around the world, and would like to find a cure for breast cancer.

Perhaps a portion of the money you spent on a gigantic car magnet went towards its respective cause, and that's great, but why not donate all of the money to the cause, and skip the stupid magnet?

Oh, one more thing. Please cool it with the Lance Armstrong bracelets as well. They don't look as cool as you think.

Proud to be an American (that doesn't have to brag about it),

I agree with you on the Livestrong fashion accessory phenomenon, got a little out of hand. Come on people everyone knows it’s not “cool” to support cancer past Labor Day. Once Dubya started sportin one, it was definitely time to let go. Have you seen Nike’s new Armstrong-esque bracelets called Baller Bands? For only $12 you can be just like LeBron James minus the $90M. Nothing says "thug" like a neon pink plastic bracelet...

Good to see the posts are coming back....however, they are still lacking biting whit that was associated with "The ring of Fire" from one of your earlier posts. Keep up the good work!

Long time reader...first time (in a while) responder.

Glad to have you back Pack Attack. You've been missed. The wit is still here, it's just hard to produce a Ring of Fire everyday. Jordan didn't score 63 points in every game he played.

Good god, I hate those ribbons. I'm quite sure the people who make money off of them are evil. Am I not supporting our troops just because I have no camo magnet on my Pontiac Grand Am?

Though I have been tempted to completely wallpaper my European communist-party-supporting husband's car with them, just to see his reaction.

Sarah, although I don't know you, it's great to have you aboard. Your comments are always welcome...especially if they are about camo or Pontiacs.

personally, i think it would be funny to steal as many of those goddamn magnets as possible and put them all on one unsuspecting person's car. preferably, a Kia Sephia.
