What do u think of these bands???

i think they are cool and nice, alot of ppl here are using it as a "fashionabl" item, but here areee sooooooooooo expensive for example in mexico city it costs... 30 dollars, in Guadalajara costs 10 dollars... their value are so high from the original priceee

They've always bugged me but I think that's just because Lance Armstrong is a tool.

I have always wanted one of those, Lance Armstrong is amazing. Such an inspiration.

It seems like such a trendwhore item now. There are so many spin offs of it.

I liked them when they had more meaning, rather than a fashion acessory.

I don't care that they're extremely trendy now because I was wearing it before they became what they are now. My school sells blue ones that are really cool <3 and I want one (it goes to Unisef and helps with the tsunami fund and I wanna donate so!). So anyway, I think they're great. If people are spending their $1 on them, even if it is as a fashion accessory, the money's still going to the right place and that's what matters. ...unless you buy them on eBay

Uh yeah there was a thread about this before right?

I'm all for them. It's for a good cause. And yes there are other ones now too, but if it worked for Livestrong, it can work for them and their foundations too. I just don't agree with buying them off eBay for $5-20 or whatever. That isn't helping the cause, THAT is just being trendy. But a lot of people have them because they support the cause so good for them.

It's true that the braclets are for a really good cause, but since they've become so trendy, no one thinks about the cause anymore. They (or a lot of people) don't think, "I'll buy one to help with the ____ organization." They think, "I'll buy one and I'll look cool!"

BeBritney · 02-04-2005, 09:12 PM

Oh yeah definitely. I agree with that Stanley. And that annoys me a lot. But there are people out there who aren't like that too and to them, I tip my hat (?)

I would love to get one but I dont know where I can buy them.
