Acquaintances Worried Guy Without LIVESTRONG Bracelet is Pro-Cancer
Friends and family members of San Francisco accountant Jack Robinson have begun to assume he must like cancer since he is the only person they know who isn’t wearing a yellow LIVESTRONG bracelet.

“I thought I knew Jack. I raised him better than that,” said Claire Robinson, his mother. “How can he support cancer? Both of his grandfathers died of cancer. It’s just despicable.”

The yellow LIVESTRONG bracelets have become a nationwide fad over the past few months – even campaigning politicians have taken to wearing them so they are not accused of being pro-cancer. Yet Robinson refuses to donate one measly dollar to the Lance Armstrong Foundation to receive his own yellow band and make a public stance against the disease that kills 500,000 Americans each year.

“Half a million people each year in this country alone are killed by cancer, yet he doesn’t seem to care,” said co-worker Ron Singley. “It’s as though he has no conscience. I’m disgusted by him.”

But Robinson says his decision not to wear a LIVESTRONG bracelet does not mean he is pro-cancer; in fact, he claims to be anti-cancer.

“I just don’t want to wear a stupid yellow bracelet,” he said. “And to be honest, I’m getting sick and tired of all these people with LIVESTRONG bracelets looking down on those of us who don’t wear them. I can’t even believe I have to say this, but I’m very much against cancer. Okay? I’ve even donated money to cancer research in the past, I just don’t want to wear one of those bracelets. They’re uncomfortable and they look dumb hanging out of people’s sleeves? That’s all.”

Robinson’s wife, Molly, says she has yet to confront her husband about his LIVESTRONG-free wrists because she is afraid of what she might hear.

“I don’t want to face the truth – that he’s pro-cancer,” said Mrs. Robinson. “I don’t think I could be married to a man who is a cancer supporter. It’s like I’m living with so kind of monster.”

Yeah I like how you'll see a business man in a $500 suit and then he's got this dumb yellow rubber band looking braclet on cause he wants you to know he's not too rich to give to charities.

My brother-in-law's company had them wear one with a motivational saying like, "Seize the day!"

I saw someone in a black jetta with it on the live strong one on their left wrist, and a cig dangling in the same hand.

I laughed.

I went through Wendy's drive-through a few months back and the guy at the window had a rubber bracelet on that said DIE HARD.

Are you both kidding?Unfortunately not. I think many of today's corporate executives learned their management techniques from Wall Street and Office Space.
