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?
