WHAT IS THAT YELLOW BRACELET?
It's a no-pest strip.
Thats the cheese-eating French surrender-monkeys in America Society ID bracelet
He kind of looks like a guy I once met who drank a gallon of carrot juice every day.
I would not pay $1,000 for that haircut.
I don't know, but it sure clashes with his facial hue.
It has something to do with Lance Armstrong and his victory over cancer. It's signifies strenght or something. I work with this idiot who wears TWO of them?? It says something about your personality that you HAVE to let people know YOU donated. I think that's weak. Just donate and SHUT THE F UP!!! Stop telling me how great you are because you donated.
An indicator of the color of his spine.
It's his Captain Crunch secret decoder bracelet. It's how the space aliens told him to run for President.
He's on loan from the nut house.
"This is not a Nation of black and white, a Nation of rich and poor, a Nation of haves and have-nots. This is a Nation of the Orange, and the Not Orange! I will fight for our right to be Orange, and for the non-Orange to become Orange with one easy application of a non-greasy cream that applies evenly and doesn't streak!"
Its the Lance Armstrong cancer bracelet.

The Bracelet is from the Lance Armstrong Foundation fighting cancer...I dunno why but it is a big liberal craze. Someone mentioned that maybe it ties Kerry to a REAL man...Lance Armstrong
It is a "LIVESTRONG Lance Armstrong YOUTH/Women Bracelet"
I recently bought one for my 13 year old son on ebay.
Every 13 year old must have one these days. Kerry must be courting their votes :)
...SNIP...
Live Strong Bracelet
Note: This article by Rob Walker quoting CMF President David Hessekiel appeared in the "Consumed" column of The New York Times Magazine on August 29, 2004.
Alliances between corporations and nonprofits for the benefit of this or that cause are hardly a rarity these days. In fact, U.S. companies now sink about $1 billion a year into partnerships with do-gooder organizations, about 10 times what they spent a decade ago, according to David Hessekiel of the Cause Marketing Forum. Some of these efforts are successful; some aren't. But rarely does one manage to do what the Live Strong yellow bracelet has done, which is spark a consumer craze.
The bracelet -- a round hunk of synthetic silicon rubber stamped with the phrase ''Live Strong'' -- started selling in May at Niketown outlets, as well as at Foot Locker stores and various independent retailers. It cost $1, and proceeds were sent to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the nonprofit charitable organization associated with the champion cyclist, who is a famous cancer survivor. ''Live Strong'' is the foundation's motto; yellow, among other things, echoes the color of the lead rider's jersey in the Tour de France. Nike underwrote the production and distribution of the entire first run of five million, meaning that 100 percent of the proceeds, plus another $1 million Nike threw in, went straight to the foundation.
Sales were brisk from the start but really took off when the Tour de France got under way this summer. Armstrong wore the wristband, and so did his whole team, including mechanics; as the tour wore on, competitors and even officials starting wearing it. As Armstrong cruised to his record-setting sixth consecutive Tour de France victory, celebrities started wearing them, and suddenly the bracelets were everywhere -- a charitable must-have. John Kerry even wore one while making his acceptance speech at the Democratic nomination. The original five million bracelets sold out; four million more have been made and sold, and another two million are on the way. And perhaps inevitably, a secondary market popped up on eBay. ''These are the summer's hardest item to get!!!!!!!!'' one seller announced, without making any mention of, say, passing along a cut to charity.
ROFL
It's his lucky charm bracelet, so that EVERYONE WILL WONDER WHAT that YELLOW BRACELET IS.
Those are the new desweatification bands, keeps you from sweating, newest rage among sociopaths.
