"GMA resign" Yellow bands

i've got an idea to show our opposition to arroyo in a non-violent way (and make money at the same time)

Black-and-White Movement and other blogs can advertise and sell it at their site.

Why not make and sell GMA resign Yellow bracelet/bands (like this one).

Lance's yellow band wins mag design award

The grand prize in the inaugural Bottom Line Design Awards from US magazine Business 2.0 went to the buck-a-throw Livestrong wristbands, beating off competition from Virgin Atlantic's Upper-Class Cabin, Apple's iMac G5 and Motorola's Razr V3 cellphone. Lance Armstrong's wristbands, kicked off with support from Nike, sold so well, one of the judges in Business 2.0's awards said the campaign was "the most successful viral campaign in a decade, perhaps ever."

Up to 33 million yellow Livestrong bands have been sold to date, with proceeds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation...

Of Lance Armstrong's wristband, Business 2.0 said:

"Sometimes design simplicity—in this case, a $1 yellow rubber bracelet—is all it takes to make an emotional connection with consumers.

Not only is this pretty much a non-violent way to protest the arroyo admin, but you'd look cool wearing it too (and i'm pretty sure the guy selling this would make tons of dough) :)

Here's are photos of the LiveStrong bracelets.

Of course, kapag nalaman ito ni Arroyo, I wouldn't put it past her to order the police to conduct raids on the factory (or hire a few thugs to break inside the factory) making these Yellow bands and steal their merchandise. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd stoop this low, LOL.
