The entire world is in the pink

[Brigandier]

What the hell is up with sports teams and the goddamn pink? NFL, MLB, etc. Everyone shows support for breast cancer awareness. These are MALE leagues, it should be support for prostate cancer.

I saw a cement mixer sporting pink ribbons last week. But I knew the pink ribbon campaign had lost all semblance of reason when boxes of Hamburger Helper and frozen cookie dough were bearing pink ribbons.

Male get breast cancer too.


But Breast Cancer does get a huge chunk of the cash, while the more deadly cancers get shit. Apparently it is because more people survive breast cancer and they become advocates.

:whiste:

Breast cancer, aside from trailer parks, is the leading cause of big fake boobies, why fight that?

 

[sixone]

Why do you hate breasts?

 

[Kadarin]

Of all the things in the world you could be complaining about, you've chosen to complain about support for breast cancer awareness? Really?

What's wrong with you?

Because maybe EVERY one of them has a mother?

I have been thinking the same thing. What started out as an effective awareness campaign (let's get all these macho guys to wear pink, stirring attention), is now sort of silly. Like why do all football players now where pink shoes for the rest of time because breast cancer exists?

not really complaining.. just think it's funny

They also have themselves and a father, both of which can get prostate cancer. Prostate cancer awareness is a way more important factor for the audience of the NFL.

Its pretty sad, because breast cancer is a legitimate cause, but has been completely exploited by the media and corporations. It's just a money maker now. The fact that few such causes exist for other illnesses to the extent that has been done with breast cancer is also highly suspect.

Nut cancer has a better ring to it and would get my support.

We all know what you blokes have to do to prevent prostate cancer, but we can't talk about it on TV.

It's called pinkwashing.

It benefits the companies more than the charity. That's why you see it all over the place. It has lost all of its original meaning and is now just another symbol for greed.

Why pink wash the NFL though? If they are trying to get more female viewers, well, will pink gloves and shoes do it?

 

[StrangerGuy]

Pancreatic cancer won't have a similar ring because: 1. masses have no idea what it is 2. It a fvcking death sentence 3. It's not boobs.

it isn't about who's watching, it's pure greed.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Last I checked even Pornhub was doing a breast cancer awareness thing.

 

[Brigandier]

Whose part? Is the Komen whatever just a greedy organization, or is it the NFL?

 

[Jeff7]

Won't somebody please think of the boobs?


Ok, if you insist....

You just introduced me to a movie that is going to be hard to watch.


Do you have links where I can buy that?

Please do tell how a prostate exam will prevent prostate cancer.
