I hate that this isn't over

Tuesday, August 4, 2009


An open letter to the two guys in the Sebring in front of me today in traffic.

Really? The Lance Armstrong bracelet? Seriously, you do know it's 2009, don't you? You also realize that you're driving in a Sebring (not the most masculine of cars), with the top down, while smoking, right? So, the whole, "I'm against cancer" thing doesn't really ring true when MY vent system is now filled with your smoke.

My experience has been that anyone wearing those when they were topical was a bit of a douche. Typically they were the kind of guys that would love to tell me how they were running "you know, in the 5 K this weekend..." They also tend to like Heiniken, which honestly, is a pretty crappy beer. The problem is, as douchy as they were, the trend is OVER the bracelet thing is OVER. So if you're sporting one now... Unless it's some trendy ironic statement. Yes, that's probably it, smoke Reds while sporting the yellow bracelet, well played hipster doofus, well played.

Ditto. Ok, I am gonna give you a pass if you actually HAVE cancer. But seriously, think about retiring that bracelet man.
