breast cancer sucks farg it
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I know a woman who became a multimillionaire becoming a supplier of cheesy cancer-awareness products like that. Kind of ruined the illusion for me. If you want to help people with cancer, either empty bedpans or learn enough oncology to study cures for that shtein -- or directly give to people who do. Enough with the pink t-shirts.

That campaign is one of the most famous marketing stories of recent decades.  People who make it their life's work to con you into buying shtein study it hard.

I'm about sick of this stuff.  At least baseball only does it for a day, the NFL does that shtein for an entire god damn month.  Pink gloves, shoes, towels, hand warmers, mouthpieces, hats, jock straps, cups, etc, etc.  Farg your pink bullshtein. 

If they're going to raise awareness, can they at least do it for prostate cancer or boner malfunctions, or something else that dudes are more likely to get?  How many dudes actually get tit cancer?

QuoteHow common is male breast cancer?

Male breast cancer is a rare condition, accounting for only about 1% of all breast cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2010, about 1,970 new cases of breast cancer in men would be diagnosed and that breast cancer would cause approximately 390 deaths in men (in comparison, almost 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year). Breast cancer is 100 times more common in women than in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age. A man's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about 1/10 of 1%, or one in 1,000.

Good job by Dobbs to speak up on the stupid pink shtein

One of my college professors [female] made us do a paper about this based off a study about 'pink washing'. It's disgusting and the businesses who use this as a marketing ploy give very little to the actual cause. The study we did showed on average less than 1% of the pink merchandise sold goes to actual 'breast cancer research'.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds
