NewsFlash - Do NOT Eat LiveSTRONG Bracelets

So I was all set to buy a case of 1200 LIVESTRONG bracelets to support Lance Armstrong and his foundation figuring that by eating a bracelet a day, it would keep cancer away. However I was shocked and dismayed when I went to the website and read the FAQ's and noticed the following:

Q: What are the wristbands made of?
A: LIVESTRONG™ wristbands are made from
100% synthetic silicon rubber. LIVESTRONG™ wristbands are not edible.


Seriously, do they really think people are going to buy a BRACELET (brace·let (brslt) . An ornamental band or chain encircling the wrist or arm.) and then eat it, perhaps for a snack or when they are in an especially LIVESTRONG mood? A law should be passed where if you try to do something with a product which does not meet a reasonable person standard, you should not be allowed to sue on the basis that the consequenses you receive are what you deserve for being so damn stupid.

On another serious note, the Lance Armstrong Foundation does a great job of helping people survive cancer and it deserves your support.
