[Shodan marks International Women’s Day with a joke about breast cancer, because if boobs are funny, mastectomies are comedy gold.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20834016&postcount=10) Fucking piece of misogynist shit. ---

The only reason that’s a bad joke is because the Whopper is a Burger King product. ---

I think I’d be more outraged if the joke were funny. ---

It was buy one, get one, not half off. I guess that’s half off though. ---

> [@asterion](#): > > The only reason that’s a bad joke is because the Whopper is a Burger King product. That is a major failing, I agree, though even trademark issues aside, I can’t recall ever hearing “whoppers” as slang for “breasts”, so I found the attempted joke more confusing than funny or offensive. I haven’t read the whole thread, so I don’t know if Shodan later tried to explain or justify the joke. I hope he didn’t - that just multiplies the unfunny. ETA: I see as this moment that he has not. Good. Joke failed, write it off, move on. ---

Hey Shodan, hang on while I tell that joke to my sister (who had a double mastectomy last year) and I’ll let you know how it goes, if I’m still alive by then. ---

What **I** want to know is– When are men going to get a special day of recognition? After all, we do most of the work of actually making sure that society runs, instead of falling apart. ---
