Every year there seems to be a new trend for "raising awareness" about breast cancer, and we have to keep it from men and post sexually suggestive or misleading status updates about our bras, pocket books, shoes, or our imaginary pregnancies to "raise awareness" about breast cancer.
Kinda like by posting a picture of your favorite childhood cartoon was supposed to raise awareness about child abuse. I could see it around the world, some dead beat father was about to beat his kid but signed into facebook and saw all the pictures of cartoon nostalgia and instead embraced his kid in a cloud of rainbows and glitter.
If anything this whole "I'm 19 weeks and craving a dunkin donut" crap that's going around is not only misleading; I've seen so many "congratulatory" posts it's not even funny, I almost fell for it until common sense kicked in and I thought to myself "who the hell craves juicy fruit?" and it dawned on me it was that time of year for this crap.
Ugh.
Look, for one, let's stop being catty about breast cancer and keeping this crap from men. Breast cancer affects men too - whether because they themselves have it or they're affected because someone they love.
All these things do is turn something that is a horrible reality for some people and turn it into a game that focuses the attention on the poster.
If you want to make a difference go www.komen.org and donate. Make sure your friends are copping a feel on their boobies. Go in for your yearly mammogram; but posting misleading statuses aren't doing anything productive.
Kinda like saying you'll pray for someone when you have the means to physically help them then and there.
..... Just sayin.
