Diseases are so hott right now

I'm blowing the whistle, it has officially gotten out of hand. The disease wristband fad has to end. It is so incredibly wrong for life threatening illnesses to be a fashion statement. I came to this epiphany while talking with a gentleman who adorned himself in five separate disease-oriented bracelets. The multi-colored philanthropy bands ran up his forearm, almost to his elbow. These bands, which undoubtedly gave him chafage on a hot summer day, represented a sundry of diseases and included a chartreuse band that represented lupus awareness. People are looking downright silly, and it's safe to say that most bracelet wearing people are more motivated by trend than a sincere desire to cure a disease. If they really wanted to eradicate testicular cancer they would donate more than a dollar Lance's super cool Nike charity, and the truly selfless wouldn't feel the need to display their generosity to the world by wearing a stupid bracelet.

While some people may wear the bands with good intentions, it is obvious that Nike is now looking to profit on disease fashion with their faux charity bands, or what they call "baller bands." I mean come on now, the bracelets were bad enough when they represented cancer awareness, but now they just represent how absurd our rubber accessory-loving country truly is.
