I wear a black one sometimes to support the music. but ugh they get on my nerves. Mine is too big and sticks to my skin and drives me nuts.

i think they're dumb. because it's like, "whoa i donated a buck, i'm cool. look at me whoo i donated a buck, i rock."
if you want to donate, donate. no need to get some bracelet to advert. the fact. but, whatever gets kids to donate money. |

I guess the original idea was a pretty good one. But now...there are bracelets for almost any good cause now. Like I said in the other thread, it's getting a tad ridiculous.

The only bands i deplore are the Nike ones. They're only there for profitting. you shouldn't hate the entire wristband industry, most are there for charity, and if you ARE hating on it, it's because you're identifying them as fashion items. Don't, they're there to show that the person supports a cause.

QUOTE(TrustU2HurtMe @ Jan 14 2005, 12:13 PM) Honestly? I always thought they were ugly and kinda stupid. Its like buying the different colored ribbons except some of the causes are just stupid. Red for the Electra movie?!   There's one for Elektra?  They are getting out of hand. The Patriots are giving out blue ones that read "Go Patriots" and donating a dollar to the Patriots foundation if you spend more than $75 at the Patriots store online. |

yellow livestrong was fine. but now there's tie-dye and rainbow and pink and blue and purple and red and white and black...it's just craziness.
i've even seen some polkadots. edit: ina way, the yellow livestrongs are a way of advertising their donation service because alot of people didn't even really know about the donation service before, but with the livestrongs, everyones like HEY WHERE'D YOU GET THAT? |

It was alright when it wasn't a trend. Now it's just dumb. I know it's for a good cause, but some people don't even know that. They just wear the because they're in

Why should it matter? If you think they're stupid then just don't buy one. They're supporting cancer and other good causes.. Sure people think they're a fashion statement nowadays, but it's still for a good cause. So you can't wear cool-looking wristbands and support cancer-funding too? I wanna get the Tsunami fund one because I haven't done anything to help out the victims of the Tsunami tragedy yet. And if my Interact club is going to get a Maroon one that says "Pirates", then I'm gonna get that one too. Those'll be the only ones I'll have.. Yep.
