Bra Colors As Facebook Statuses For Breast Cancer Awareness

[Tony]

I am sure some of you have noticed this in the past couple days but a lot of female are posting one word statuses on their facebook walls , that word being the color of their undergarments, and just about everyone knows the meaning behind it by now, even though it started out as a secret.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for breast cancer awareness (minus Susan G. Gomen foundation) but is this really such a good idea? Chances are, if a guy knows what the colors mean, they are going to think about something else besides breast cancer. If I had a 14-15 year old daughter, I don't even want to think about her posting such things on her FB wall.

So most guys don't know that 75% of our undergarments are white? Oh right, I forgot that guys don't do laundry.

[Hilde]

The whole idea was that men weren't supposed to know though.

White.


Are you scandalized?

[The Bus Station]

magenta.

[txdinghysailor]

All I'm gonna say is that I've learned more about some girls since this fad started.........

[Nihil Obstat]

I didn't know until just now what the colours were all about. I just didn't care.

[Christie_M]

I didn't know about it, but noticed that nearly all my friends (not just females haha) were posting colours...so i posted a random colour. silly me

[dominicansoul]

my status reads "it's none of your business what color my bra is..."

Are we allowed to guess?

My first guess will be salmon.

I can't begin to fathom how this is supposed to raise breast cancer awareness. I think I'd honestly have less of a problem with it if the message I got just wanted me to post the color of my undergarments just to confuse boys. Even though we should all know better than to think anyone would be in the dark on what was going on...

Just. ::shrug::

nooooope....


actually, I don't understand this whole "awareness" thing? Aware of what? that breast cancer exist? who doesn't know that?

[Hilde]

Maybe so more people will test themselves.

Yeah it is a common awareness, but not everyone takes the initiative to test themselves. So i think that it does remind some people and passes the word along.

[ThePenciledOne]

If nothing else this comes as no surprise to the road that soceity has gone down.

So, honestly as much as it should distrub me that girls are actually comforable with it, it doesn't, which is honestly sad.

Of course, I say this while putting the cancer issue aside. I think there are better ways to become "aware". Because, I was very aware of it before I had to know what my female peers were wearing.

[dominicansoul]

there was some controversy a few months back...was it a group of doctors who said it would be best NOT to test until you were in your mid-50's?

I like sean's status: Breastfeeding reduces your chances of getting breast cancer (and the longer you nurse, the lower your risk). AND if you have a daughter, it also helps reduce HER chances of getting breast cancer. So post THIS instead of the color of your bra today!

spread that around facebook, that'd be awesome.

yeah..

i remember hearing that and thinking how odd that was.

[MissyP89]

I like confusing boys. As for the whole breast cancer thing, I fail to see how it related at all, as rhetoricfemme said. personally, I just enjoyed watching a bunch of guys go "huh?". Then again, it really doesn't take that much to amuse me.
