At least in the U.S., so be diligent in making sure that everything is as it should be with all them fine American tatas. :thumbsup:

Remember, a recent poll found that the body part women love the most about themselves is their breasts. I bet it's also the female body part that men love the most too. Let's take good care of them, shall we?

I've never understood why there isn't just a cancer awareness month? I've also wondered why breast cancer research seems to raise far more money than diseases that kill way more people (including women) such as lung cancer and cardiovascular disease? Just throwing it out there.

There were some people collecting "for breast cancer" at a football game I was tailgating at last year...they were a little surprised when I told them it was terrible how they were supporting breast cancer and since I was against breast cancer I wouldn't be giving them any money. They quickly realized the error of their ways and began collecting "for breast cancer research" so I gave them a few bucks.

Shut up you fool, the fondling of the breasts is at stake!

Because breasts are sexual objects.

It's the matter of prevent-ability, just like with prostate cancer, colon cancer, testicular cancer. Manageable if caught early. Easy examinations. But, not the most comfortable and easily put off by people.

EDIT: this comes from someone who had a digital prostate exam and a colonoscopy this month (I turned 50) along with lithostripsy for a kidney stone I didn't know I had.

Uh, no. How about we donate a little to problems that are not already financially saturated through the work of the house-wife mafia?
