Where things can get pretty igry ...Rick's Cafe Americain

Today I have received (so far) no less than four identical e-mails from a company calling itself “ALL-IN” and offering their product—a dinky rubber bracelet that says “ALL-IN” on it.  This ordinarily would just be some really annoying spam from people with an incredibly lame product.  Except that they are seeking to capitalize on Lance Armstrong’s efforts to raise money and awareness in the fight against cancer.  Their marketing gimmick? “Just Like The Lance Armstrong “LIVESTRONG” Bracelets, only for POKER PLAYERS!!!”.  and Oh, and all the money goes into our crass, cynical, greedy little pockets.  Here’s another one that made me cringe: “Made famouse by lance Armstrong’s “WEAR YELLOW” campaine and the “LIVESTRONG” bracelet, the “ALL-IN” Bracelet is sweeping the Poker World!”

Help strike a blow against spam, stupid products, greedy bastards, and cancer, all at the same time.  These “ALL-IN” bracelets are going for $3.  Please, go to Lance Armstrong’s site and donate $3 (or more!) to the Livestrong foundation.  Then, send an e-mail to info@allinbracelets.com telling them to stop harrassing poker bloggers while exploiting charitable endeavors for personal gain.  You might also mention what a stupid idea their product is in the first place.
