A virus started in the southern United States that involves the corruption and mutation of a plain rubber band and turning it into a colorful shape. The disease first started among younger children, one or two was the norm, but it soon began to spread and multiply. Soon it had made its way into Middle Schools, particularly girls and (in some cases) boys.

As of right now, the virus has begun to spread in High school environments, infecting 15-17 (primarily) year old girls. The High school mutation of the virus is usually very aggressive, and will infest the host with upwards of 10 bands. Lately, there have been signs of Silly Bandz on High school boys as well.

There is no cure to Silly Bandz, except will power to resist their colorful appearance. Right now, Silly Bandz Syndrome (or SBS) is on the verge of being declared a pandemic.

It is currently unclassified, but is remarkably similar to the Webkinz Disease that plagued the nations several years ago.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Probably one of the most ridiculous fads in the history of fads.
Silly Bandz are colourful rubber bands that have been shaped to resemble letters, objects, animals and even people or entire words.
Elementary, middle and even high schoolers, sometimes even college students or adults will be seen with dozens or even hundreds on their arms.
The obsession shared by many has been labeled as SBS, or Silly Band Syndrome, to which there is no cure. The ability to resist their colourful shapes and stretchyness is called SBR, or Silly Band Resistance.

Most people with any sense of individuality will refuse to wear Silly Bandz, while anyone else will become obsessed.

Colorful rubber bands shaped liked various objects or animals. Invented in Birmingham, Alabama. They are becoming increasingly popular among children and even High Schoolers of the East Coast of the U.S. and are usually worn on the wrist.

The most successful frequency in middle schools all throughout North America.

AKA: Colorful rubber bands, made into shapes that make your wrist itch. People have them for the sake of trading them for something better, like a pencil.

In a nutshell: No one really wants them for "Them"
Just like no one would want money if it couldn't buy them things, no one would want Silly Bandz if you couldn't trade them for random shit.
