Yes it has become a 'fashion trend.' My roommate was looking for a place to buy one for a while just because everyone else has one and he wanted one too. Sure the money is going to a good cause, but the intentions for buying the braclet just aren't there, and that's kinda sad.
What makes me REALLY pissed off is people profiting off of how this has become a fashion statement. On ebay there are tons of auctions for braclets. Sure, if the seller donated the money that was raised from the auction to the Lance Armstrong foundation it would be very noble, but that is obviously not the case. I was in the mall the other day and in one store they were selling them for $3. If I wasn't in such a rush I would have stopped and gave them shit for marking them up. Perhaps I will go back to that store and give them a piece of my mind.
