Support Our Ribbons - Parody, Joke and Custom Ribbons for Everyone!: "Ribbon Maker: Create your own custom ribbon!"
I kinda like "Meaningless Platitude" in "Nearly Unreadable Script," or "RIBBON" in Bold and Readable.
I was thinking the other day about the ribbons on the back of everyone's car, and combined that thought with the "bad bridal dress" website:
Going Bridal
because one of the signs of a bad bridal dress is "does this huge bow on my ass make me look fat?"
So has anyone made a bridal dress with a big yellow bow on the back, with the intended sentiment "support our troops"? I think it would be a hit among a certain set.

Tampabay: She's the other woman in Michael Schiavo's heart: "Terri's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, agreed he was a devoted husband and encouraged him to date other women, according to court records and relatives.
"It was only a couple of weeks before Bob Schindler was saying Mike needed to get on with his life," said Schiavo's brother, Scott. "That was the farthest thing from Mike's mind."
"But as months turned into years, Schiavo lost hope.
"He decided to date about three years after Terri collapsed, Schiavo's lawyer said during the 2000 trial.
""It took Michael a long time to consider the prospect of getting on with his life - something he was actively encouraged to do by the Schindlers, long before enmity tore them apart," Jay Wolfson, a former guardian of Terri, wrote in a 2003 report to Gov. Jeb Bush.
""He was even encouraged by the Schindlers to date, and introduced his in-law family to women he was dating," Wolfson wrote.
"That was all before the Schiavos received about a $1-million malpractice verdict, stemming from the potassium imbalance that led to her current state. The award began a long-running feud with his in-laws over money and Terri's care.
"The Schindlers began accusing their son-in-law of trying to kill Terri so he could keep the settlement money and marry his new girlfriend.
"Schiavo said he didn't care about the money and offered to donate it to charity."
