Didja know? Or are you not aware?

Has this color thing gone off the deep end? Yeah, red ribbons = AIDS/HIV. I remember that. Pink. Oh how could I forget what with the postage stamps, the labels on Yoplait yogurt and the little teeny ribbons on Wacaol bras. Breast cancer. White = Brad Pitt. Yellow = support the troops. But most of these are news to me.
