boogie hands Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 get this shit out of here. you may as well wear a big sign that says "i rarely do anything charitable so i got a real hard-on when i donated 4 bucks to lance armstrong and wanted to parade it around for a few months." whatever dude.....cancer and poverty are so "in" right now.

MisPantalonesEstaEnfuega Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 i have mad scene points and street cred, so i had a livestrong bracelt before they blew up. I was at work early last summer and some lady was like, "those little yellow braclets are so hip and cool, do you sell them here?" "no ma'am, this is a pet store..."

theGOON Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 if i got a custom one it would say AIDS IS FUNNY but really, they are trendy, i saw that alpinestar sells them solely as a fashionable item, no cause, and i'm sure other companies out there are doing it as well.

Tough Love Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 lance armstrong strated that shit. his is the only real charity bracelet anyways, all those other ones are pretenders who ripped off his good idea. its all lost its meaning now. you cant have something unique and intresting if every other idiot copies it, which is too bad. and its also a mixed blessing that they are hip, cuz charities are getting money, but people may be donating for the wrong reasons, but i guess it doesnt really matter why someone donates as long as they get money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh-rye-won Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 little bit too much hating going on in this thread. using peoples desire to be trendy in order to raise money for a good cause doesn't really upset me that much. it's kind of like a negative and a positive caneling each other out. -goose physicist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest krie Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The fashion has only really hit here a good 6 months ago or so. I had 3 of em bout the same time ago, i ended up giving them to other people cause they kept saying to me 'where did you get that from, ohh i want one so bad' so to save the nagging i just took it off, gave it to them, and told them to go away now i collect peoples hair and make bracelets from them and wear them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOL published a figure not too long ago ... it's in the multiple millions. kind of a shame that it's now a fashion trend (MEGA HOT! according to one website) and pizza hut might have some soon, but... multiple millions from little rubber bracelets? yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that.

dubsface Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ill get one that says "I Jerk Off With This Hand" and put it on said hand. Im not hating on the true Lance Armstrong wristbands though, but it did get overly ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post i completely agree with you here but i think the overall statement (about people in general) this bracelet campaign has made is a sad one. making illness fashionable (this is not a literal usage of the word) via celebrity and marketing campaigns is something that in my eyes, shouldn't have to be done but obviously DOES have to be done in order to raise money. not to mention while everyone is in a frenzy over what ever lance armstrong or tom cruise is touting other problems are sitting in the shadows. maybe if tom hanks and plastic bracelets had happened to alzheimers ten years ago my grandfather would have know who i was for the last 4 years of his life......

boogie hands Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 ps-if the above little rant didnt make you aware, this thread is in no way about "hating on trendy things". i would have figured the title and the fact people are so up on being ironic would have clued you kids in on that (not that the irony was really deep, but whatever).

SteveAustin Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I wore the yellow LiveStrong one last year during the tour. I am now rocking the black LiveWrong. Its a little more fitting for me. I'll probably throw the yellow one back on for the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
