http://whowouldbuythat.com/

10-06-2005 I've found another one & it's equally brilliant http://outrageous-ebay.blogspot.com/

Well, when i first saw this site, it wasn't a site ... it was on a Community forum with all the images on one page that took forever to scroll thru, so it's much improved. And it's amusing to see what each person turned this poor baby into with a little time spent in photoshop.

http://www.crazymeanbaby.com/

I have to say i love this site ! Even tho most of the little tips aren't directly relevant to me, i spent ages learning loads of handy (but mostly useless) information while reading thru the archive.

http://www.tradetricks.org/

Well, as weird collections go this is pretty interesting ... I can't believe some people take the time to draw all over their cash !!

http://www.johnnyburrito.com/uglymoney_drawn.htm

But then, I came across some more interesting wristband marketing ploys that jumped on the bandwagon. A whole variety of british ones can be found here: http://www.britishwristbands.co.uk/ (anything from anti-racism to save the rainforest to skater girl!)

And then i found PimpStrong's version "From the Ghettos to your Wrist" http://www.pimpstrong.net/products.html

Bwahahaha! Buy yours Now !!
