Pink Stinks

I’m just going to say it.  I HATE the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer. Hate it. It’s obnoxious. First of all, they’ve made October Breast Cancer awareness month. They’ve taken the month reserved for turning leaves, apple pie and Halloween Candy and made it about tits. Shouldn’t February be Breast Cancer month? I mean, it’s the perfect tie-in to Mardi Gras, right? Flash your tits, check for damage? Maybe instead of a pink ribbon they could use purple and green beads? Just a thought.

And what the fuck with the pink, too? It’s so contradictory. I see some of these cows “protesting” breast cancer “we’re not going to take it anymore” like there is a conspiracy of breast-hating men out there deliberately giving women cancer.  Trust me, if that ability existed it would be used for much more nefarious purposes. So…they act as though the “male medical establishment” is behind this rampant killer of women (90 percent survivable with early detection, and HEART DISEASE is the #1 killer of women, of everyone.. BTW)  and then they use the most stereotypical color to rally around.  Women in general tend to have a herd mentality and the pink ribboners are no exception.  The big companies know this and have tapped into the fact that if they want to move more product, all they have to do is slap a pink ribbon on it and the bitches will BUY IT!  I’m one bitch who ain’t buying it.   Breast Cancer research is actually overfunded now, and all this feel-good pink ribbon crap is diverting funds and attention from other, deadlier diseases and cancers. I have diabetes! Where’s the love? How about Testicular cancer? Lick Ball Cancer!!!  Heart disease… most of us have a heart… where’s the concern for that? No.. we have to endure herds of heifers in pink baseball caps choking up the city streets on a Sunday morning doing their “walk for a cure” or some shit. And if you don’t walk.. you hate women, you hate tits and you are pro cancer. Fuck that.  If you want to feel good about yourself go volunteer at a soup kitchen…but that usually doesn’t come with cute accessories.
