Charity Bands

Which ones have you got? (Yes this is a normal topic). Do you think they are worth it? I've got fake ones like most people. I've got two "Livestrong" ones and a black and a white one (they're attached) that say "Speak Up, Stand Up" on them.

Whaaa?

I have one with "Cliché" on it.

i know they seem to be the current fashion trend but the real reason for them is for charity and with the fake ones, the money is going straight into the pockets of nasty traders. There are plenty of websites out there that still have the authentic bands, like the Livestrong ones. Buying the fake bands is a disgrace, thats not the point of the bands. Its about the charities!

Buttmunchy · 02-05-2005 04:36PM

You don't know? Sometimes I worry the people on these boards don't get out enough. Except me. =P

02-05-2005 04:36PM

Boo! Get out!

Buttmunchy · 02-05-2005 04:38PM

I didn't buy them. Someone gave them to me.

thafitz · 02-05-2005 04:38PM

whats so great about these bands? personnally i think their a stupid fad. if people really care about the charities why dont they just make a normal donation?

penguinbloke · 02-05-2005 04:39PM

Just making sure but, don't fake bands defeat the whole purpose of the things?

charity bands = bellende

Blisterman · 02-05-2005 04:51PM

How much do the fake ones cost? The real ones are only a dollar each, who's too cheap to pay a dollar? Its not like there's a backlog, like there used to be.

The self obsessed "me" generation not only wants to give a few measly €£$ to charity, but they want everyone to know they've given to charity by sporting a piece of rubberised plastic. Or even worse they want to give some blag artist the money instead and still look as if they're charitable...

i got a green one and white one yesterday, cos i like the colours. i prefer to give my money to charity and not publicise it.

penguinbloke · 02-05-2005 05:12PM

I couldn't help but notice that none of those bracelets were in any way endorsed by anybody. You would be better off writing something on your arm and donating to some random charity.Or even just giving the equivalent money to some homeless guy.

Well the livestrong ones give money to cancer research.
The stop bullying ones and anti racism ones are pointless.

RuggieBear · 02-05-2005 05:16PM

i have the lance armstrong band too...and also a marie keating band. Saw the fake "charity" bands in a toyshop the other day and despaired.

If you are going to buy them, at least buy the ones that benefit the ****ing charities.

Creamy Goodness · 02-05-2005 05:24PM

i'm surprised someone hasn't made one that has every colour and has imprinted "i'm following a fad."

i'd buy one of them lol.

some of my mates wear them and one of them bought a livestrong one of a guy in his class. i had a look at the wrapper that it came in and it said "$1". HE PAID 5 EUROS.
he just said they look cool and everyone is wearing one.

What's a Lance Armstrong wristband?

it actually says their motto. latin mabobby.

I over heard some kids saying "a Livestrong band is worth 10 multicoloured ones" They are ****ing pokemon cards! they also said "i will give you these two for that one". It really is sickening!
