Cancer Bracelet up for Grabs

Written by Jeff Lutz

So, I was at the LA Dodgers game the other night and they were giving out Lance Armstrong LiveStrong bracelets.  Why at a baseball game are they giving out bracelets?  I have know idea.  But, here’s the thing.  I’m not a bracelet guy.  I don’t plan on becoming a bracelet guy.  I don’t know it just seems a little gay to me but if you wear one that’s cool.  And yeah, I know the LiveStrong bracelet is for a good cause and it’s to support cancer research and yada, yada, yada.  But, I’m just not going to wear it.  However, instead of tossing it into the nearest dumpster while making a tasteless one testicle joke I’ve decided to use the power of the splog (hahaha to myself) to give it away to the highest bidder.  Or just anyone who wants a bracelet.

Here’s what you got coming your way:  a plastic bag.  Beautiful packaging.  With a majestic yellow bracelet inside.  On the top of the front side of the packaging, it says LIVESTRONG.

Do it already!  Then, the inspiring words, “The Lance Armstrong Foundation provides the practical tools and information that people with cancer need to live strong.  Show your support for people with cancer by wearing your LIVESTRONG (Trademark) wristbands.”

Oops, apparently they’re not bracelets.  They’re wristbands.  My bad.  It’s made in China and it’s 100% synthetic silicone.  No part of the purchase price is tax deductible.  On the back of the package it says $1.

I feel like it would be appropriate to say something about cancer now.  So, here goes:  it’s bad.

For more information on the actual organization and how you can help cancer research check out www.LiveStrong.org.  For those of you just looking for a yellow bracelet so you too can look as cool as Lance Armstrong without actually donating or any of that crap, send me a self-addressed envelope and five bucks and I’ll be sure to get it out to you.
