And I wonder how much profit the perpetrator of this little copycat
trinket made by distributing this garbage. Gotta love America, eh?

Sorry to continue this inane conversation... but the wristband has less
to do with Lance directly and most to do with the Lance Armstrong Cancer
Foundation that, regardless of how you might feel personally about
Lance's choosen life path, is in itself a noble, honest cause which is
generating a much needed shot in the arm for cancer research. If only a
small percentage of the **** generated in this this thread could be
directed accordingly.

Now that, I can agree with. At least in many cases, possibly even
most. But in some cases? Divorce turns out to be an undeniably
wonderful thing for all concerned.
