Wristbands
Poop on a stick

I was at Wal-Mart the other night, and as I was traveling down the path de checkout, I started looking at all the useless crap they try and pawn off on you at the registers. You know, those "neat" or "convinient" items you just have to have. If they really wanted to get my money while I wait, they'd sell rocket launchers and scud missiles up there. I always forget to put that on my shopping lists!

Well, as I was looking at the (lack of) scud missiles, I saw these wristbands. They are called STYLE BANDZ. Pretty much a rip off of the livestrong wristbands that were sold to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation for (nut) cancer research.

As I stood in awe of these wristbands, I thought about how cool I could look if I got one. I also thought about how trendy I would look and how people would think I were on the cutting edge of style. Then I remembered that I'm not 12. This product completely ruins the point of the livestrong wristband. The Sytle Bandz are only to turn a profit and are riding on a trend that was for a good purpose. It's bullspit. They should also include memberships to the Douche Bag Club of America (DBCA) because anyone who actually bought one of these is a gigantimous tool.

However I'm not really on the livestrong braclet bandwagon either, too many bros wear them, and lord knows I can't be sharing any traits of a bro. In fact, the ONLY wrist stylings I can endorse is Stephen Colbert's wriststrong wristband. That great man broke his wrist in a tragic fall, and I am a firm believer that we need to stop wrist violence. You should be too.
