How many of you saw this picture
and immediately looked for CAP ribbons?



(There's a senior recruiter ribbon on the second-to-last row, and to the left of it, what may be an old-style encampment ribbon, which repeats itself two rows above. Am I missing any others?)

I did look.

Those are not encampment ribbons. The color are wrong. They would be blue-red-green (or upside down), and given the faithfulness of the colors on the other ribbons, the colors look wrong. The center stripe is definitely not bright red, and the blue and green are the wrong shades. They don'y look at all like my olde ribbon.

LOL yes I did, when they were doing a video interview I thought I saw the leadership ribbon, but it turned out to be something else when I researched for a photo.

Where's that from? Some recent news issue? It looks semi C.G. to me.

It's the getup he wore to the Oscars, where he made an absolute ass of himself.

Well, his ass-hattery was actually during the red carpet stuff, so it had no real effect on the presentation show, which was mostly good.

You know, people who have actual talent don't have to resort to stunts at the Academy Awards to get publicity, recognition, what have you.

I don't think Mr. Cohen is very funny in anything he does, and apparently a lot of other people don't either - which is why (in my never-to-be-humble opinion) he resorts to foolishness like this to get people to notice him.

And as for the original point, among those 68-or-so ribbons he's wearing, I don't see very many U.S. active-duty type ribbons.  Which is a wise move on his part - wear CAP, ROTC, state guard, and foreign awards, but not anything that someone on AD would be earning today.

My only question is when do we get to adopt this as the Corporate Dress Uniform? >:D  Of course it would have to be grey. :D

I think that might be a recruiter ribbon (second row from bottom).

Apparently, Dave, he makes a living of making an ass of himself. Personally, I don't think he has to "make" an ass of himself. It's his normal state of being.

According to ColonelJack, that's David Cohen, creator of Futurama.

Not quite.

That's Sacha Baron Cohen, the creator of Borat (among other things).
