Facebook and Breast Cancer

I'm reposting this from my own Facebook.

OK it seems the females of Facebook think that by posting their bra colors secretly it will raise awareness of breast cancer. Now if they put their money where their bra color is...they might REALLY make a difference.

If all 350 million FB users contributed $1 for Breast Cancer Research, that would make a HUGE difference...posting your bra color doesn't do anything!

I'm donating today, because well, it's the right thing to do. (And I do like my wife having them)


Yeah, I saw that. I think I'm going to take a little deviation from that. Do you mind if I paraphrase your thoughts into my wall post?

Please do Sir!


Here's my take on it:

For each woman that shows proof of their "support", I'll show my support by making a $1 donation to each instance for the sake of Breast Cancer Research. I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do ... and I like you ladies having them. :D

Good deal, I can't make that kinda donation...too many people on my friends of friends lists...but I'm making a donation...and trying to actually raise awareness.

I'm hedging my bets against the display of their breasts. It could end up very well being cheaper than a lapdance in the champagne room. :P

All they've been doing is post what color bra they're wearing.

That's crap. I've seen pictures of women with bikinis on FB in the short time I've been on there. They should be allowed bra posts. I wasn't asking for anything "bare".

I'll invoke Godwin on them! :P

I copied and sent the Op to my wife who then posted on her FB:

well 'awareness' doesn't have 2 mean money yeah money does help w-the research of bc but women need 2 be aware that it can happen 2 women all ages....they need 2 watch out 4 early signs of it.... by simply putting their bra color on her jst makes u more aware of it...i think that's what they r gettin @!!:)

Amen. I agree and that is what I responded back to him with. LOL...awareness is awareness...gets them thinking about it and then we can worry about raising money. If no one thinks about it or doesn't know about it etc, how can we raise money for it????

So make me aware what you're wearing. So I can support them. And save them. :P

Save the boobies!


I thought the message was a little snarky, so I changed it a little.

A lot of women on Facebook have decided that by secretly posting their bra colors, it will raise awareness for breast cancer. While this is certainly laudible, if every one of the 350 million FB users contributed $1 for Breast Cancer Research, it would have an enormous impact on the lives of women afflicted with this disease. So instead of posting your bra color, make a donation to Breast Cancer Research, and repost this message on your Facebook page. I did.


But...but...that's not as fun.

Well, I figured if I pissed off my friends, they'd be less likely to donate so...

Argh... must... resist... temptation... to... smack people upside the head who use numbers and innane abbreviations in common sentences.

(I know it's a comment to your wife's post, not your wife who wrote it)

Otherwise I think it's a great idea, let's hope people will start donating.

Well, then they need an enema. :P

****

But on a serious note, I understand. I alone take my risk. ;)

LOL! About an hour later, a friend of mine posted, 'BLACK!" Oh well. :-)
