The Complaint Bracelet

3894 · 05-10-2007, 06:50 AM

As seen on "Oprah"!

Want one? You have to give up complaining for 21 days. If you catch yourself complaining, you have to switch the bracelet to the other wrist. I guess the clock starts over again then, too.

I'd wear it but I hate the color.

Is it me or has it been the case that every time I see reference to Oprah in the last few months it is something even stupider than the last time?

Though to be fair, most of the recent references have been in relation to The Secret which is pretty darn stupid.

Wouldn't a better tool be a complaint stick? You keep it in a quiver on your back and if someone else catches you complaining they get to hit you with it. Self policing won't work, compulsive whiners don't think, at the time they do it, that they're whining. Just stating the facts fo the matter.

I can't, my major complaint is the Oprahfication of the world.

These bracelets would be much more effective if worn around the neck.

Say Oprah, why don't you demonstrate for us?

Visible mojo to Alex and Snow.

I truly cannot stand Oprah anymore. My MIL thinks she walks on water, but I am sooooooo incredibly sick of her that the mere mention of her makes me cranky.

I'm right with you Wendybeth. Besides, she has atrocious taste in books. I am all for encouraging reading (which is why I applaud the Harry Potter series for all the good it has done in awakening kids to the joys of reading) but at least read decent books and literature, not the crap she advocates. I read enough crap, but I resent someone shoving it down my throat.

I'd spend my days switching the bracelet from wrist to wrist.

Me, hourly. I'd never get any work done with that thing on (complaint #1)

Would complaining about the bracelet cause it to self destruct, or disappear into some dimensional void?

More importantly, would this work with Oprah?
