Well you think most people think about cancer, but I for one, and others like me, see people who pretend to be for anything that a celebrety will endorse, spend a single fucking dollar, and wear the fuck out of the thing without actually helping a god damned person.
Cancer is allready the number 1 or 2 disease on the minds of the public (AIDS might be ahead, but I'd suspect Cancer is more thought about), it doesnt need any publicity, and $1 is like a slap in the face. But ooooh they raised millions of dollars blah blah blah, if they charged $20 for something worth while they'd raise billions.
Why not raise awareness for something that the public isn't aware of?! Wow that would be a fucking brilliant idea! Instead we get all these kids running around with their bracelets for all kinds of shit (and yes, its a fad to the extreme, ive seen bracelets in gas stations that say things like "support love" and "support peace" like someone is actually donating your $1 to "love" or "peace." These bracelets go hand in hand with the gay ribbons people put on their cars for breast cancer or support the troops or whatever.
I'm not cynical, I'd be the first to support these causes, or even raise awareness for something that the public isn't aware of, but I'll be damned if I'm going to look like a fag wearing a rubber band on my arm if someone is only going to get $1 out of it.
