Ribbons for a cause

Thank goodness, it isn't just me. Every time I see one of those ribbon thingies I have a pang of guilt because I don't know what it means. (Like when someone says something about sports that even children apparently understand and I don't know what they are talking about.) Jeff Jarvis came across this comprehensive list:

Imagine a wearable grid, something like military bigshots wear over their hearts on dress uniforms, horizontal ribbons organized on a board. Can you see it? It could become a fashion statement.
