LiveStrong: The New Cancer, We can stop this Options

This thread was not made to offend anyone. Please read with an open mind. Thank you.

boasting - To glorify oneself in speech; talk in a self-admiring way.

I'm sick and tired of people patronizing me through what they wear.
By now, we've all witnessed the LiveStrong epidemic. Such a small, simple article of clothing. What's so great about it? I believe it is the condescending/egotistical statement that really leads to the sale of this thing. Wearing this item has two intended effects:

1) It shows that you have donated to charity.
2) It proceeds to tell others to live strongly, or "LiveStrong" as the band says.

I'm not much of a fashion guru, but I don't think this bright yellow wrist band is a real complementary piece to any wardrobe, at least visually. Instead, the stigma surrounding the band, namely expounding on the fact that you have donated to charity and that you are quite secure with the direction of your life (I AM LIVING STRONGLY!) are the main draw to purchasing this item.

Some people argue, "You sick freak! You hate cancer research! I bought this to help cancer patients, so excuse me!"

First of all, I'm sure you're sense of fashion is only superceded by your generosity. Let's be honest. Most people probably just wanted this thing because everyone else was wearing it. But even if you truly bought it to help cancer research, know this: Your purchase helped cancer, your wearing of the band did not. There are so many ways to donate to cancer, it's amazing that more money hasn't been accumulated over the years. If charity was your chief concern, you could have, and would have donated money in a more subtle way.

Quit boasting. By wearing that thing, you aren't setting a positive impression upon me about life. In fact, it's quite pathetic. Who are you trying to convince?

Actions speak louder than words. Of course trends are cooler.

Please stop live strong.
