Dude, you’re preaching to the choir. I was just saying I could understand the mindset. And ya know, if you actually make most people work, they’ll pull a Bridget. because they can’t do shit from their high horse. 
I love this pitting.
I find the pink crap just a bullshit way of acting like you are doing something for breast cancer, when in reality, most corporations only use pink to get noticed… I’d rather the NFL just donated a big chunk of change instead of putting players in pink shoes and painting pink ribbons on the field.
And screw Susan Komen. I hate that one person has become the poster-name for all things breast cancer.
This kind of hits to the core of every major “charity business”. A major city has a “Official Certified Legally Trademarked Susan G. Komen Walk For The Cure™®”, and raises let’s say 200,000. The total cost of staging the event is 185,000.00. Pul-leeze.
I too would rather the NFL donate every penny spent on those ridiculous uniforms and extra field paint and advertising costs straight to true research.
Nitwits.
Gotta say, this is my most successful and appreciated pit of all time. I really figured I’d catch a lot of shit for Not Understanding and obviously never knowing a cancer survivor etc.
A question just dawned on me as I read this thread. Are all the women’s clothes out there that have the slogans “LOVE PINK” and “PINK” and any variation thereon actually breast cancer awareness items and not referring to the pop star?
Believe or not this is an honest question and maybe a sign of how disconnected I am from society at large.
ETA: just got back from a quick Google and it looks like it’s a Victoria’a Secret brand.
Screw Susan Komen? The woman who died from breast cancer and probably had no idea what was to come after her death?
Hi, Amateur Barbarian, I’m garygnu. Nice to meet you.
There, now you know a cancer survivor.
Oh, wait. I have melanoma, not breast cancer, so I don’t count.
True. What you really want to say is screw Nancy Goodman Brinker. Also, Karen Handel should get cancer.
I always figured that so many companies were marketing pink since they know there is a small, but very noisy minority, of the anti-Halloween crowd who won’t buy and will complain loudly, about orange/black packaging.
Yeah, her. Bitch stole my car.
Okay, this is the Pit, but… whiskey tango foxtrot, over?
Joke. Over.
(See, Susan G. Komen really didn’t steal my car. It was rather absurd that I would accuse her of such.)
Okay. A little sledgehammer but I get it (got it, too, but wondered…)
I was just piggybacking on want2befree’s idea that “fuck Susan B Komen” is a ridiculus statement.
Now that we’ve killed it and it’s dead, we can resume the thread!
stomp stomp stomp Okay. Pink sucks!
“Black Ribbon - This color is a symbol of mourning, melanoma, and anti-gangs.”
The writing style sounds like a New Age/astrology text.
Puce Ribbon - to balance your chakras, cure ague and bring true love!
That’s right. If she didn’t exist, she wouldn’t have died of breast cancer. And then we wouldn’t have pink all over the place annoying everyone in this thread, including the OP.
It’s the Pit! It’s a place full of ridiculous outrage!
And FTR, i said “Screw”, not “Fuck”. I’m not vulgar.
You know what? You are right. Nancy Goodman Brinker deserves the hate, not her dead sister.
So, screw Nancy Goodman Brinker!
