People who wear wristbands piss me off. People originally did it because they were donating to a charity and they would just get those things. And then people started doing it just because it was popular. The first group of people are liars because they're pretending that they give a crap about people with cancer, but they don't. People are way too eager to donate a dollar and then pat themselves on the back. Screw you, you could easily spare more than that but you didn't.
I think its a rather smart marketing thing their applying to charity. ^^ Teens don't want to volunteer time, go on the charity walks, or do anything that requires any effort. So the come out with bracelets that teens will wear, then other teens will see them and tsay "wow, that looks cool. I want one. Where'd you get it?". Then everyone searches out for these cheap pieces of rubber, and pays a quick buck for it. The charities get their money from all these teens, and the teens feel special because their part of the new trend going on. Everyone wins in a way.

Except the hospitals. I was gonna donate blood once, but then I found out I can't. I guess its 'cause I lived in England (maybe they think I ate British beef and got the human form of mad cow or something? *rolls eyes*)
