    Before people begin posting - lets not get into an abortion debate, please!
    I think that whole idea of the wristband has been diluted. As far as I know, they started with the Livestrong one from Lance Armstrong, but now there are lots of charity ones and commercial ones. Hardly suprising that there's political ones now.

    Well the ads come up automatically, as far as I know. The grown-ups don't pick and choose what goes up and what doesn't. At least, I hope they don't. Those foetus feet were up there for ages.

    But if you're asking what people think of the wristbands, I think all wristbands are rubbish (except for my super cool and dudey Newsnight wristband).

    Why do you hate colorful wrists?

    Yeah, but they pay Google, not the guys (I think).

    A kid in the school I work in had dozens of Blue SouthSide wristbands made when he was in Hong Kong. Alot of confusion over what each colour stands for-theres about 5 red ones. Yellow are the original

    AN enterprising UCD student had 1,000s made for lots of schools - clever idea, apparently making a fortune

    Google have a contract to provide the ads, and they choose which ones to put on which page, based on their reading of the content of the page. Revenue from advertising is generated based on the number of ads which are clicked upon.
    Heavy words are so lightly thrown.

    So ... by talking about abortion, Hana is actually attracting 'small feet' advertising to the site?

    HANA!
