So, there's this sort of chain letter thing going all around Facebook telling women to post the color of their bra in the status bar of their profiles. It is said that this is supposed to raise breast cancer awareness. It is also said that these women should not explain to the men on Facebook what their status' mean.

Um...really? THIS is supposed to raise awareness?

How many women aren't aware of breast cancer? I doubt there are even any men who aren't aware of it, but it seems really strange (read "stupid") that you would want to "raise awareness" of an issue by purposely excluding half the population from said awareness.

And even if we were to bring men in on this thing...how does this raise breast cancer awareness? Is it raising any funds for research? Is anyone posting a link to the Breast Cancer Foundation website along with their status update?

NO!

Now today there is a new one going around telling women to post their shoe size in their status bar. I mean, enough already. If you really want to raise awareness then get out there and do the Avon Breast Cancer Walk and raise money.

Here's the website:

And yes, I have supported this cause in the past. I have nothing against breast cancer other than I hope that neither I, nor anyone that I know and love ever have to deal with it.

The End.
