2. The ribbonizing of America is getting ridiculous, isn't it?

It seems as if everything is now reduced to the buying/displaying of a ribbon.

The people making the ribbons (Chinese factory workers, no doubt) probably deserve a ribbon of their own.

3. I like the tattoo on this lady!

Also, breast cancer is not pink cellphone covers, T-shirts, feather boas, cars, cookies, planes, etc.

When my Mother was dying of breast cancer, I didn't find anything fashionable about it.
