WTF of the Day: People Are Exchanging Silly Bandz... At Bars
According to the NY Daily News, exchanging Silly Bandz are now the best way to pick up the drunks at your local bar.I know what you are thinking: is the economy so bad that bars are desperate enough to let eighth graders in?
Nope. GROWN UPS are the newest wave of Silly Band converts.
A 32-year-old man shared his own experience: "I went on a date with a girl. She gave me one. Two days later, another girl gave me another Silly Band. I felt important."
I hate to break it to you, dude, but you're only special if you get a fun one. Like an ostrich or Batman.
The very same 32-year-old now keeps a growing collection on his arms. Because they are "a great conversation starter."
I'm telling you, this is what is wrong with the world, people. We are talking about Silly Bandz instead of more important things, like the oil spill and how Kings of Leon stopped making good music after winning a Grammy.
One female interviewee, age 27, tells it like it is. "The coolest part is trading them. It doesn't have your name on it. People can't track you down."
In way, it makes sense. Giving a guy one rubber bracelet from a pack that cost you $1.50 is a much more economical than buying him a pitcher of beer to notice you.
But seriously, if a guy gave me a super hero Silly Band he might just get my number. Well, OK, it would probably be a fake number, but it would be better than nothing, right?
What say you? Are Silly Bandz an effective means of flirtation persuasion?

brb buying 1000 pack of silly bandz
It actually sounds very clever.
kings of leon never made good music. and that is le fact.
also my students give me silly bandz because they <3 me. I think they're cute though. If I got one from a cute guy at a bar I wouldn't be like, "hell no."
I need to buy more silly bandz..dammit!
lol not gunna lie, this sounds cute as hell
@TheSecretLifeOfPandas@xanga - imma have to disagree. youth and young manhood as well as aha shake heartbreak are fabulousss
@TheCatInTheCradle@xanga - perhaps. but their music really isn't my thing.
i can't stand silly bands, they're every where in my house from my lil sisters...it's so annoying.
I think it's cute. :)
Hahahahahahahahaha XD
Oh, wow...I needed a laugh...
Lol ostrich silly band!!! That would be THE BEST.
hahaha my nephew got his first "girlfriend" that way.
he's 8.He slipped one on her wrist at recess one day and she held his hand. in case you were curious, he gave her a microphone from the rock band set, because she likes to sing.love this idea! off to buy some silly bandz hahaha
LOL. Wow.
That's weird and creepy.. it's only cute from a kid to another kid but grown-up to grown-up? Wow.. x_x
@MOFAAgrad09@xanga - and it only works because he is a child :)
If someone randomly give me one, then no. But if it was someone who I was dating or someone I liked then I would probably like it *I don't own any Silly Bandz btw...don't really see the point...*
I will never date a woman who wears those. They are for children and seeing as how pedophilia isn't exactly my shtick, I'm gonna go with no.
Seeing an older man with sillybandz on his wrist at a bar should only happen under one occasion- his kids gave them to him and he forgot to take them off when he left the house.
And don't give me the "OH, c'mon, lol, lighten up. Geez, they're just rubber bands hahalolkthnx" bullshit. Kids wear kids' clothing and grown ups wear grown ups' clothing. Let me ask you this, would it be so cute and carefree if you got a dude into bed and he was wearing Superman tighty whities? Thought not.
