Wristbands

[.will]

Does anyone know if there is an anti-wristband wristband? Or a place where I could make my own custom wristband? I'm referring to the oh-so-trendy "charity" wristbands. No flaming please. I'm all for charity, but kids at school buy them in large quanities and resell them for profit :angry:!

im right with you on the wristband thing. if you give to charity so what, everyone does. its just a fashion thing and it gets under my skin.

I hate these "trendy" wrist bands, they are only bought so people can look cool and have nothing to do with the charity .

If you want to give to charity set up a direct debit directly with the charity of your choice dont wear a stupid wristband :rolleyes:

[Argote]

dunno really, I only have the LIVESTRONG one, all the others are rip-offs

[fedex]

^^ Same here. I got mine as a gift from someone that bought a bunch...

[SeaCow]

I wear them because I support the cause, not because they are a trend....

I see the point for donating and all for the wristbands, but do you really have to wear it everyday? One day is enough. And everyday you see theres a new type of "band" selling. I walk into 7-11 and I see one for the tsunami relief. They did all that donating on TV, isnt that enough money. Damn they should make a anti-wirstband. Make it red with some bright ass writing so people know when they see it, they against them tendy mofos.

The irony in that is those people would become equally 'trendy mofos' as you so bluntly put it.

Trendy or not, the bands (particularly the LiveStrong ones) have been highly succesful in raising money and rallying support behing their cause. (Y)

i agree that the trend thing is stupid, but so are most trends. but in order for them to get the wristbands they have to buy it from the charity guys.

so charity wins in the end

[SeaCow]

I agree. The money reaches the charity one way or another.

And at the end the only thing left to do was just not wear any wristbands at all.

[Ivan_B]

I got a LiveStrong one, but don't really wear it.

[Bobster]

I've got a Livestrong one and I agree, all the others are rip-offs.

:no:

The livestrong ones are just an exploitation of the cause...you don't see everyone wearing breast cancer ribbons to look cool.

[Hidea]

I wear them cuz I know the pain having to go through cancer. Dad passed away last year because of cancer, now that I am more cancer aware, I feel like I have this 'duty' to support cancer research (after all, cancer is genetics, they better find a cure when I am older... :p )

[hotdog666al]

You can buy them for around ?1.50, but I often see them on eBay for over 10 times the price of that!
