When does a fad go bad? Look no further than 'charitable' wristbands.

They can have my Pet Rock when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Where's this author been? Those things have been overused for months now.

"I'm wearing it now."

I have two of the rubber band bracelets. One camoflage one that says Victory and the other is blue and the $1 went to the Katrina relief fund through a local convience store chain. I probably won't wear the blue forever but I will wear the camo one until our soldiers all come home.

"I think your "idiot" comment zoomed over alot of heads."

No, it was just ignored, as it should be.

"Napoleon Dynamite."

Sorry, My Wife and I watch it and it ranks with the worst movies ever. As far as the rubber bracelets, somebody in China is LTAO.

I thought that movie was mostly lame, until LaFawndah came to town and turned Kip into a playa.

I'm with you, band brother :)

I've been on both ends of these....;-)

I made one of these for myself, out of a dollar bill, and wear it fairly often.

It's for "Capitalism Awareness".

"Gently funny movie. No language, no violence, no sex. Rent it."

I was fully prepared to not like the movie after all the hype around it, but I watched it when one of the movie channels had it on and found myself getting into despite myself. Nerds as awkward as his character make geeks like me feel a little better about my high school days, when I was downright sociable and outgoing by comparison :)

Look no further than "political contributions"

This week was D.A.R.E week at my kids' middle school. On Monday, teachers gave these bracelets out with D.A.R.E. printed on them. The trash cans were full of red rubber bracelets. The kids don't even like them.

There's hope in the kids, when they can see through the DARE fraud. They are not all succumbing to the indoctrination.

Gently funny movie. No language, no violence, no sex. Rent it.

If thats the case, why would I want to rent it?

My criteria are a film must contain, adult language, nudity, and violence.

feel a little better about my high school days

I think my husband had a similiar reaction.
