    Dumbass,
    LiveDrunk(tm) has raised millions of rbr dollars towards developing
    beverages that optimize both testosterone production and virtual reality
    appreciation.

    Remember: LIVEDRUNK does not make fun of the laudable fundraising
    aspects of the Lance Armstrong Foundation and its Nike-sponsored
    promotional wristbands, only the trendiness so prevalent that the rubber
    wristbands first became a nearly mandatory accessory, then they were
    widely copied by other groups, then they were widely counterfeited.

    By comparison, LIVEDRUNK isn't doing a whole lot of damage to the LAF.

    The only reason LIVEDRUNK is funny is because LIVESTRONG was probably
    the single most successful new fundraising concept of the last decade,
    and a cultural phenomenon to boot. Most of the yellow wristbands have
    been packed into people's junk drawers now, but there was a time when I
    think a near-majority of the local amateur pelotons were wearing yellow
    rubber bands on their wrists. I began to wonder if something was wrong
    with me for not supporting them.

    But there are other causes besides cancer research. And heck, the cancer
    research says we should be drinking a glass of red wine (or possibly
    some other form of alcohol; beer seems to work, too) every day. I'm just
    doing my part!

    What have you done for cancer, anyways? Are you pro-cancer, maybe like
    those disreputable "Cops for Cancer" or something? Huh? And how come you
    don't care so much about diarrhea, which kills way more people than
    cancer?

    Don't ever doubt it: I care way, way more than you do. And in the end,
    isn't that what really matters?
