# Whats wrong with arm bands?
If they're making money for charity, does it reallllly matter that much if people buy them for fashion statements?

# They make about 3p for charity
(Rough guess)
But it's pretty shit

# Is it really that low!?
Tis a bit of a swizz if true. But still; if a scallie buys a band and indirectly donates 3p, its better than him donating nothing at all.

/trying to stay positive about armbands.

# Actually,
it's about 70% of the price, you cynical cunt. What are you doing to help eliminate poverty?

# damndirtyape
I'm not buying armbands that discourage governments to actually help their people by throwing pitty money at them. I thought those poverty bands were made in Chinese sweatshops anyway...

# Most folk
buy them off that dodgy geezer in the market

and I doubt he gives much cash to charity

Cunting armbands should be band (or is that banned?)

# It's funny
nearly everyone who buys them doesn't know what they are supporting

# I have 2
and I do. Livestrong - the Lance Armstrong Foundation, a cancer research charity and Breast Cancer Care, as if the title didn't spell it out already, a breast cancer research charity. Two people in my family have died in recent years because of cancer, and my boyfriends mum has just beaten for the the second time around.

A lot of people may only buy them because they're fashionable at the moment, but at least some of the money goes to worthy causes.

# woo you, seriously
unfortunately the cheap knock-offs are available next to the burberry caps and fake nikes down the market
(I helped save b3ta! lemonhead, Wed 1 Jun 2005, 19:14, archived)
# yeah
I've seen the knock-offs. Shame someone was smart enough to realise they could make a quick buck out of it.

# bands
sadly now they have become a fashion item and shops are selling them with words on them like love and peace, replica charity bands. some people will cash in on anything

# Dear Sir
I would like to order three of your "Make Fucking Armbands History" wristbands.

Do they come in any other colours?

I put 11 pee in a fibreglass dog when I was 8, consider that my charity donation.

# newspaperyness
Some bloke wrote something in The Times slagging off wristbands, when I started to read it I thought "you uncharitable cnut", by the end I was in total agreement with him. Can't remember what he was saying though. Woo memory.
