Although I agree with the danger of celebrities selling things as some form of higher authority. I got the lance armstrong one mainly because it gets money to a good cause and I think his personal example of strength through adversity is a good thing and by wearing the bands in a sort of trend fad, means others rush out to do the same and more money goes to good causes.
It's the one time I agree with corporate inspired trend sheepism.

"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.
If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
