Going Pink For October

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the in-all-seriousness dept.

Matthew Oliphant is inviting anyone and everyone to turn their Web sites pink during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Nearly 150 sites have done so as of this writing. And by the way, guys can get breast cancer too.

      what about checkoutmyvagina.com? STDs, cervical cancer, etc are just as bad as breast cancer.

      These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

      Not to be a pig or anything...

      Who else tried to see if http://checkoutmyvagina.com/ was a real site?

      And when there's a story about prostate cancer, this same 90% male audience will be joking around about that too. Get over yourself.

      Exactly. Besides, we all know that if you're not pro-state, you're a terrorist!

    I'm all sypathetic for cancer sufferers of course, but I have to say I'm personally much more interested in non-cancerous mammaries. I vote we have a National Breast Awareness month (without the cancer) next month. Dunno what color we should turn our websites for that though, I would've said pink, but apparently it's been taken :).

    We should stop celebrating breast cancer awareness and start celebrating breast awareness. Millions of lives are tragically affected by unawareness of the full size and scope of these breasts. Failure to screen breasts early and often can lead to a rapid deterioration of sexy roles and a premature end to one's film career. Regular examination of breasts needs to be an important part of people's lives.

    I redid mine last month ... but went with Brown.
    Last month was colon cancer awareness month? How did I miss that?

    I wonder what the creative artists at gOOgle could come up with for their logo for October....

    I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up.
