"Buy a red band to STFU"

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.

I tell you what I'm bored of - people blackmailing me to donate to the tsunami stuff.

Ugh.

I think people are hung-up on proving they donated.

Donate :-(

My sister wants to order in some white bands from America to support the tsunami appeal.

It will cost her over $25 for 5 of them, and about $2 will go to charity, the rest will cover fees.

Idiot.

I think the money you spend on the bands goes to the corresponding charites.

all my m8s think i'm mad, but i dont wear any of them, i can agree with the armstrong guy yellow one, i mean, its yellow, he wears a yellow shirt and its for a good cause.
That blue one is ridiculas, everyone should be against bullying because they are human, you dont need a band, will kids stop bullying because they have a band round their wrist? no.
A pink one for breast cancer? thats a little sexcist, i know the type, they give money to breast cancer funds because they want to help their fellow woman, it being pink and all, but fools i say, men can get breast cancer aswell.
the type i refer to where if certain women are given a bit of power they try to take over completly, and hate men. equal rights i say!, but thats another discussion for a different topic in something i've been experiencing recently.

Those yellow bands became all fashionable awhile back. Somebody at brother's school bought a box of them and charged people three times as much for them.

Idiots.

No, but maybe the money spent on it might help? Or would you rather not bother in case it looks like you care about something? Oh, to be as cynical as you.
