Rubber Soul

Update: The link should work now. Bloody Blogger keeps removing them. Gah.

Nice to see that Ozzy Osborne has launched his own charity wristband into the rubber jewellery melee. The things are absolutely all the rage over here – I bought my season ticket from a guy at the station who was adorned with about seven of them. They looked a bit tight, but I decided not to warn him that he might lose his arm if he didn’t re-establish normal circulation, as it’s all in the name of fashion charity.

Actually, I’m making fun – I have one, and anything that makes people give to causes like Make Poverty History and the anti bullying campaign, and raises awareness of important issues has got to be good*.

Anyway, check Ozzy’s out. Apparently, when asked why he chose the message, he said he’d rather have a wank than a bullet, but it did make me laugh, and the money’s going to good homes. The spokesman for Save the Children sounded very pleased, if a little surprised, particularly as they didn’t know anything about it.

I may order one before they run out.

*Except perhaps if it’s made by child-slaves in a Chinese sweat-shop.
