These damn Lance Armstrong things have to go!

Most of the braclets you see now aren't even for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. They're being sold by opportunistic schmucks who know the masses will buy the variety color. Shit some of them don't even say anything on it. They just sit in a little bin at the counter of the shoe store. Or, if any of you in Florida have heard of these radio hacks, Lex and Terry sell Drunk Bitch Friday bracelets.

I see it like an empty gesture, like those 'yellow ribbon' magnets people have on their cars. Putting something on your car or wearing a bracelet on your wrist, to me, doesn't say much.

I have a yellow ribbon magnet on my truck and i'm proud of it. My brother is over in Iraq defending this country and i'm supporting him and our military men and women over there. So it does say something. So it might be a empty gesture to the likes of someone like you, but it's not to some people.

Depends. Check out my post above about the fake ones.

There was a segment on the news a few months back about a bunch of people selling the ribbon magnets on the side of the road saying the money went to widow(er)s of service members, but it was just a scam.

What it really comes down to is the intention of the individual wearing it.
