crohns ribbon campaign? - Crohns Disease Forum - Support group and forum for IBD, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease

drew_wymore · 08-22-2008, 02:30 AM

I was just looking at the support or troops thing my parents have hanging on the fridge and thought to myself .. why not a "support our poops?"

mommy1st · 08-22-2008, 02:51 AM

what color would the ribbon be????

GoJohnnyGo · 08-22-2008, 03:25 AM

Hasn't this already been done?

I've seen purple ones.

Seems every cause has a ribbon campaign.

Just to be different, the one for Crohn's should have a knot in it.

DanSJVDavis · 08-22-2008, 03:34 AM

I can make some fake intestines that people can wear.

Jeff D. · 08-22-2008, 03:52 AM

How about shit brown. That would be the perfect color for this.

Joking aside I would totally get one and would get my family and friends to get them as well.

Love it Drew! Let's have people sketch/render their ribbon ideas and post them!

RHOV · 08-22-2008, 05:19 AM

how about a colon-shaped ribbon?

merrywidow · 08-22-2008, 10:16 AM

merrywidow · 08-22-2008, 10:18 AM

sorry my cat walked across the keyboard and hit the enter button........ as i was saying HIV/ AIDS have a red bow. why cant we have a simple flower, a flower would cheer us on bad days and if the flower is simple then a man woulndt mind wearing it. regarads sharon x

drew_wymore · 08-22-2008, 10:34 AM

I was reading your first post Sharon and I was like wtf? A flower would work. I'm going to work on a ribbon just for a grins though.

08-22-2008, 10:59 AM

DanSJVDavis · 08-22-2008, 02:56 PM

How bout a button that just shows a sphincter close up.

Unwitting Onlooker: "Whut the heck kinda flower is 'at!?"

My Butt Hurts · 08-22-2008, 04:17 PM

Love it! I'm not big on the "got guts" but would like something different.
Maybe brown with some corn in it, and I do like the saying "support our poops" although I don't want that to be disrespectful to support our troops.
MerryW that post made me laugh - your cat? Hilarious!!

drew_wymore · 08-22-2008, 04:47 PM

Of course I'd never mean any disrespect to our troops. I have family serving right now =)

teeny5 · 08-23-2008, 12:31 AM

great idea Drew!

RHOV · 08-23-2008, 05:58 AM

we could do tshirts...

i' pretty good at designing stuff like that. i know someone who screenprints tshirts, and there are also lots of online companies that do shirts. might be easier than ribbons...

I was going to suggest this. Maybe with some red streaks in it.

All the good colours are already taken anyway.

Every year that I do the CCFA walk / run I always make shirts for my kids to wear with the iron on transfers from my computer last years said My Mommy has Crohns disease (on the front) and then on the back it said PLease support the CCFA Everyone loved it. I love the tshirt idea.

drew_wymore · 08-24-2008, 02:19 AM

A t shirt with "I don't need shit from you, I have enough of my own to deal with"

butt-eze · 08-24-2008, 03:42 AM

If we're going to do t-shirts I'd like to re-visit the crohn's superheroes: Craptain underpants, etc.

Well, for some of us maybe. For others, it's too much!

I always like the quote 'It's just like diamonds in shit' from a Queens of the Stone Age song.

merrywidow · 08-24-2008, 09:49 AM

what about, "if you read this it means i am having a good day"
well if were having a bad day we are at home aint we? regardss haron x

mommy1st · 08-25-2008, 02:28 AM

Cafe press has some really funny Crohns shirts

http://shop.cafepress.com/crohns

DanSJVDavis · 08-25-2008, 03:19 AM

A big brown smear across the front with the words that say, "yeah they were out of TP in the toilet!"

RHOV · 08-25-2008, 03:37 AM

What about a bright-colored shirt with a black silhouette on the front like the iPod adverts? But it could say "iPoo" and the figure could be curled up in pain or on a toilet and instead of white earbuds, toilet paper.

I think I'm going to plagiarize some pics from the internet and design something like that. I'm going to have a team for the Crohn's walk in Seattle next year, so those can be my team shirts!

RHOV · 08-25-2008, 03:38 AM

I accidentally wrote "sh!t" instead of "shirt." What a fitting error!
