This seems like utter garbage but I wanted to see what you guys make of it:
[quote="The Sun"]AT first sight the cheap coloured plastic bracelets worn by children seem a bit of innocent fun.
But in reality they are a shocking new craze for children as young as seven, and it will horrify parents across the country.
They are "shag bands", which are worn in thousands of primary and secondary school playgrounds in the UK and can be purchased for pennies on any High Street.
The different colours - black, blue, red, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green and gold - show how far the little pupils will "go" if propositioned, from a kiss to full sex.
Kids chase each other around schools and, if they break the band off the wearer's wrist, the wearer has to offer the physical act that corresponds to the colour of the band.
It is the latest in a terrifying wave of promiscuous behaviour which suggests that childhood innocence could be a thing of the past.
Just as shocking are "rainbow parties" - booze and drug-fuelled gatherings where girls wear bright lipstick of different colours to leave their "mark" on boys while giving them oral sex.
A packet of "shag bands" costs just £1 - but the true cost does not bear thinking about. One 12-year-old girl said: "A yellow band is the best because all it means is you have to hug a boy. An orange means a love bite and purple is a full-on snog. "The black means you have to go all the way with a boy. "A gold band is the most important and means you have to do all of the above.[/quote]

[quote="Daily Mail"]They are thin, plastic bracelets, the kind of innocent-looking friendship bands that schoolgirls like to wear.
Available in a variety of colours and cheap enough to be bought with pocket money, they have become an overnight sensation in primary school playgrounds across the country.
But it is their name that causes alarm bells to ring: Shag-bands. And they are worn by children far too young to truly understand what that crude term means.
'I couldn't believe it when my son told me what the bands are called,' says Donna Heaton, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, asked her for 20p to buy one from a schoolfriend at his state school last week.
'I was horrified. He doesn't even know what that word means. Apparently, he and his friends at school are using the bands to facilitate kissing, a bit like kiss chase.
'But I've since discovered through other concerned parents that the different colours mean different things.'
Alarmingly, these seemingly innocuous bracelets have been linked to gradations of sexual behaviour. Each colour denotes a physical act, from a hug or a kiss to showing body parts, to other acts that would make many adults blush.[/quote]

Shag bands as they are known as.
It's a piece of Plastic and you put other ones with them.
Pointless In my opinion.
I used to wear these when i was like 10. And never once did I hear that if it broke or got broke, i'd have to kiss/shag/whatever someone. They just looked cool, and everyone had them.
More uninformed sensationalism from The Sun and Daily Mail, no surprises there.
Who else got turned on picturing 12 year olds having sex? Oh just me?
Uh, I see these bands all the time but as far as I know 'Livestrong' has never been used as a get a free shag card

No, the idea of that is just wrong, and anyone that thinks its cool to lose your virginity under the age of consent is a Whore in my opinion.
I thought I heard rainbow parties were bullshit. That doesn't add to the credibility of this really.

Uhh, the age of consent is 18 here. Nothing wrong with losing your virginity at 17 or 16. 18's a tad high.
Plus, close-in-age exceptions are around for exactly that reason.

I've broken these before accidentally on people... nothing happened.
7 year olds going to parties with booze and drugs?
I'm sure they just forgot to change the age they were talking about and meant teenagers.
I think this is what they mean.
Black: Normal Sex
Blue: Blowjob?
Pink: Skin?
Purple: Kiss
Orange: Kiss
Yellow: Hug
Gold: Anything
[quote=article]She said a green band at her school meant fondling a boy and that [b]pink meant sucking his neck until you draw blood[/b][/quote]
Twilight strikes again
Children are made by sex so why does it matter :smug: Better yet does anyone ever think about what makes sex really fun? Your penis and your mind makes sex fun - The Penis is like the brain and the penis tells your actual brain "Hey I like that human over there" then your penis responds in a very fun uncomfortable matter by becoming hard.
Shit, when you watch porn you probably pay attention to the penis getting sucked off or being fucked silly.
It's just sex, just because the pussy lips rips doesn't mean you loose anything.

Because kids don't have hormones yet. No fun in that.
This is news? I heard about them [i]ages[/i] ago.
Also, I thought Rainbow parties were bullshit to scare parents into being strict. Hell, I've never seen green lipstick or anything.

Fixed.
I just wear a chaos star around my neck and kick any girl that comes near me in the tits.
[QUOTE=ken18;17567161]Who else got turned on picturing 12 year olds having sex? Oh just me?[/QUOTE]
Just you.
This stuff was going on a few years ago when I was still in grade school, it's nothing new. If somebody snaps the band, they get to do whatever it is to the person wearing it.

YES. It is just a very old joke that immature children do! They never actually do any more than a peck on the lips. I remember being part of this joke when I was like 9. (7 years ago). If only The Sun newspaper itself could be rated late.
Sorry, "The Sun", can you actually prove any of this? Have you seen said events? Or did you just listen to what a bunch of kids apparently made up (or else they have one hell of a school)

:smug:
What a load of Balls. Everyone had them, everyone called them shag bands, no-one tries to break them and if you did nothing happened. Just another random craze.
Wasn't this the "latest scare" all over the news 5 years ago?
