What Colour is Your Bra?






What Colour is Your Bra? Wtf?
The Facebook campaign to "raise awareness" about breast cancer fell flat with me. Pardon the pun. How does posting your bra color raise awareness about a disease we should all be too familiar with? It seemed like more like something a perv would have come up with to get off on, so I didn't participate. But I also didn't participate b/c I didn't see the point. Do we think that women with breast cancer love having the attention of the disease constantly focused on maintaining their breasts? It's like the stupid "save the tatas" crap that I also find infuriating. Save the tatas??? How about "save the woman"? What if her "tatas" can't be saved? Why do we need a cute little saying in order to raise money for thise issue? Do we have "save the nuts" t-shirts for raising awareness for testicular cancer?
(Well, probably someone has come up with that already, I refuse to google it and find out though b/c how porno would some of those results be??)
Anyway, post your bra color if you like, but don't pretend it is for anything except some silly facebook fun. But while you're at it, give some money to breast cancer research. RESEARCH, not AWARENESS.

And b/c I just had to find someone who can speak more eloquently on this than myself:
