I think we are all well ****ing aware of breast cancer. Maybe if they didn't spend all this time, effort and money turning shit pink 10 times a year, they'd have more money to cure it.

Just my opinion.

Just for the record, here are some stats on cancer.

LMAO

this disease took Kelly Bundy's boobies from us
nothing
NOTHING
even pink jerseys is to much of sacrifice

I don't need testicles, but I sure as hell need titties and beer!

I'll go out on a limb here and say....

Because most of us have moms, wives, sisters and daughters who we love.

My mom survived breast cancer. She had to have a mastectomy but she's still here 11 years later.

Cancer sucks. Obviously.

LMAO

Technically, you can catch breast cancer. It's just highly unlikely. :p

Susan G. Komen....she and her family knew the Hunts and the Jones, so it became a cause for the NFL.
I agree that there needs to be a prostate cancer awareness month. I have lost family to both of these.

This pretty well describes my feelings about the subject. It's not really about 'awareness' anyway, it's about soliciting donations.

I'll bet it's higher than 10%.

Someone said breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and the most hereditary. It's also one of the most rapidly spread forms. I'll bet you that more people have been affected, in some way, by breast cancer than any other. Your grandmother, mother, aunt, sister, niece, daughter, granddaughter, wife, girlfriend, or friend has probably had it at some point. Pretty sure every guy has a female in their life. Maybe men should understand the importance of spreading the word to the women in their life that early detection is key. Or, at the very least, understand the importance of it.

False. Prostate and lung cancer are slightly more common, and lung cancer is far more deadly.

Even THIS is not getting you laid...

It's truly a marketing coup. The breast cancer people figured out how to get more publicity than other medical causes. In reality, heart problems kill something like 8 times more women than breast cancer, but doesn't get nearly the publicity.
