Anyone Else Wear a Yellow 'LIVE STRONG' Bracelet?

1. My second grader got one from school and he wears it everyday.

For him it wasn't because of Lance Armstrong, it was becasue he saw John Kerry wearing one!

4. yup me too, since July!

I also wear an orange one that says "orange power" on it. It for allegiance to Oklahoma State University and the proceeds go to Special Olympics--a cause close to home, if you know what I mean.

5. No. I prefer not to be a Nike lifestyle sheep / clone.

Lance Armstrong is a Nike spokesmodel and these bracelets are very Nikean. "Just Do It" / "Live Strong" etc.

Fuck 'em. Yes, I know our candidates wore them during the election. I just don't like them. Everyone I work with wears them. I prefer to be my own person. I didn't wear brasierres on the outside of my clothes just because Madonna did.

9. But the proceeds do go to cancer research

You should buy one and just not wear it or just give them the money and not take the bracelet.

10. I don't want to research cancer... Cancer deserves its privacy.

8. I'm wearing one.

It's for a good cause even though 78 million people are wearing them. That's good since people spent money that went to cancer research but it's now just become a pop culture fad.
