Originally, BLUE wristbands were to beat bullying and the makers didn't think a great intererest would be took in them. However they were wrong, and millions of people now have one.
So the makers decided not to stop there and create more and more. Such as cancer, poverty, breast cancer and more!
There is basically one for everything now!
Although these are a good idea to start a campaign and encourage people to overcome these treachorous things in the world, they have now missed the whole point and became a fashion accessorie instead of a campaign!
I believe as much as the next guy in overcoming cancer, but is there really a need for everyone to have these bands for it? The money people spend on buying them, could be donated to the scientists who are trying to come of a cure.
People say days such as Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Buying Easter Eggs etc etc etc. are all just ways to gain big businesses money. But so are these bands now.
If you go on ebay there is roughly 550+ bands selling for up to £10 each when you could have got them free at one point.
Is it just me, or are these bands begginning to come a bit of a farse? :eusa_eh:
