KING, N.C., March 2 Magnets in the shape of yellow ribbons with the slogan Support Our Troops are disappearing from U.S. cars. In one sign of the times, Magnet America, in King, N.C. -- the largest manufacturer of the patriotic symbols -- has a stockpile of 1 million of them, The Financial Times reported. The company says its sales of the yellow ribbons have dropped to 4,000 a month from 1.2 million. Every product has a lifespan and this one has run its course, said Micah Pattisall, the company ' s director of operations. The company's largest seller now is a wristband promoting premarital abstinence with the slogan True Love Waits.There appear to be a number of reasons for the falloff in sales of yellow-ribbon magnets. Cheap imports from China, for example, have cut into Magnet America's sales. But a big reason is the drop in support for the Iraq War, the newspaper said. The yellow ribbon is seen as a gesture of support for President George W. Bush. On eBay this week, a black and white magnet that said Out of Iraq, Bring 'Em Back could be had for $5, while the yellow ribbons were one cent each. Copyright 2007 by UPI

doh. that's the main reason.
They also leave a sun faded shape on the paint.
"The desire to rule is the mother of heresies." -- St. John Chrysostom
A more effective wrist band would say "Keep your fucking hands off of my daughter!" or "Protected by insane father with a SPAS-12"
"First I'm gonna bother everybody I meet, and then I'll probably go home and get drunk."
Your price is still right on open market...next magnet a noose, with various players.
Tell that to Selective Service.
Money trumps . . . uh . . . . peace . . sometimes. - GW Bush
Won't be another draft. The ONLY voting block that congress is scared of is the that of the soccer mom. They might seem soft and fickle, but trust me, there is no creature that is more selfish, vicious and blood thirsty than the soccer mom. Congress critters know that (especially in the shadow of VietIraq) if they approve another draft, there aren't enough police, DHS goons or UN troops to protect DC from those creatures. The US military will become a 100% foreign legion first, which is the REAL problem we'll have to deal with since they won't have any problems turning their weapons on Americans.

But a big reason is the drop in support for the Iraq War
