What is this stupid craze going around?
It started with 'Beat the bullies, wear a blue band'
Then I think there was some yellow one, I'm sure I've seen a pink one and now it's 'Make poverty history, buy a white band!'.
I'm sure I don't need to point out that wearing a blue rubber band isn't going to 'beat' anything, and it certainly isn't going to stop school ogres cellotaping nerdy boy's head up and stapling him to the wall. And neither is sticking a thick white band on your wrist going to solve the problems of everyone in poverty.
There's already people at school with half the rainbow dangling from their arm, so I think I'll launch my own band. The red 'STFU' band, you buy it from me for £500 and put on your wrist, and then you're never allowed to pollute my senses with your whiny 'save everything' crap ever again. Go and press flowers, if that isn't too brutal for you, you moochers.

Their slogan should be 'Beat the bullies, smack that tard upside the head'
>Make poverty history, buy a white band!'.
should read 'Make poverty history, kill the poor people'

ah the "I'm so shallow I have to announce my donation to the world" bands.
Do they help you avoid questionaire and donations people in the street?
*Dumps multicoloured confetti on head*
Look! I gave to EVERY F***er ok!?

It's not the charity, it's the bands I don't agree with. As Paradox: has already said, people are obsessed with wanting other people to know they've donated 50p to a charity. This is a rather inefficient way of aiding people who are really in need, a much better way is to actually do work yourself as a volunteer, something my parents made me participate in since I was a child and something I have continued of my own free will as I got older.
The amount you could achieve say, building homeless shelters for 5 hours, is far greater than what your little white band is going to do.

It's reverse here. Two bints who looked like the couldn't care less aimlessly wandered into our reg this morn.
"We're uuuhh collecting coppers for the wave thing"
I felt like taking my pen from my pocket and stabbing it through their faces.
