I have me MakePovertyHistory wristband. Now I have one band to Liv's eighteen or so :P

I'd just like point out an irony, though - if you posess such a band, run your finger around the inside of it till you feel some text. Have a look at it. What does it say? That's right, kiddies - Make Poverty History had their wristbands Made In China.

mine doesnt say that. i am v. snobby bout charity bands (in the spirit of charity you understand) and the ones the school school are so sub-standard... me n alix compared them... the rubbers not as white, its cut badly but most crucially IT HAS UGLY BLACK LETTERING ON IT.

mine is so much better *sniffs*


:P

Oh sure, be a wristband snob then :P

A point in it's favour is that i can keep mine for Irony, whereas an ordinary one I'd end up getting depressed over its uselessness.

My breast cancer one is made in China but that's not ironic *Random*

Yes, mine is inferior quality, but the less they spend on manufacturing the bands the more money can actually go to the people the band is for as opposed to administration etc.

Also, just because it's made in China doesn't mean it's some sort of bad sweatshop labour...there ARE reputable factories!

That doesn't make it not-ironic though :P
