Can someone explain to me the whole hoopla about different colored wrist bands? I definitely didn't see anything about it on the news, I totally missed all the ads and now it seems there's a conspiracy - everyone is wearing some kind of colored ghey bracelet, supposedly to help them sleep better at night, knowing they did something for some stupid cause?

Please explain this idiocy to me.

Also,

What does "ftw" mean?

...and can anyone explain what is <3 means, except the obvious? that something is less than three??

maybe I'm too old or some of these fads are just stoopid???

anything I missed?

Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

--Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)

ftw = "for the win"

<3 = a sideways heart

the bracelets are charity bracelets that have been whored into a fad. yellow is cancer, i'm not sure what the others are.

if there's any more 'idiocy' you might need clarity on, please hesitate to make a thread about it.
