Apparently there like the Livestrong ones but Pink for Breast Cancer??
Just got a text of our lass asking me to get her one from E-Bay but as they are for Charity i refuse to pay some C*nt for one cos i know the money will go into his back pocket rather than the Charity.
Anybody know where i can pick one up for her?

Found the Website that is selling them and there only $1 each
Just looked on E-Bay and most are going for £5 - £10. Now if i knew that this money would go to Cancer Research then i wouldnt mind paying it, but im pretty sure it wont be

Aye but they buy them for $1 (75p) sell them for £10, meaning 75p goes to charity and £9.25 goes into their pocket

they are for attention seeking saddos, if you want to do your bit for charity just give the £10 to the charity direct

Agreed. Someone bought me a yellow one but I refused to wear it as she bought of someone selling them at her work and not the charity. So I gave it away to another wrist band fashion victim.
Think u get blue ones for Anti-Bullying too, but kids at school get beat up and have their "fashionable" wrist bands stolen by bullies

Bit of an ignorant view point, giving money to the charity is probably not even half the point of the bands in the first place.
There main objective is to raise awareness about cancer and bullying and it has been very succesful in doing so, even if u do get a lot of poser tit types that think they look cool.
