[...] year ladies were supposed to reveal their bra color in their FB status. Y’all may remember what I had to say about that. Yesterday, a new one debuted: Last year on Facebook there was a game about what color bra you were [...]

My fb status is “none of your f’ing business. Don’t mess with us survivors.”

What the hell is wrong with this country?

Interesting – I didn’t get an email or message, but I did see a bunch of my guy friends posting their favourite colours because they didn’t know what was going on.

Yeah really. I got this, and thought “Who cares what color my underwear is?” My grandmother had breast cancer, and this seems like a cheap way of “spreading awareness.”

I got this meme from a high school pal I friended at her request. I haven’t seen or talked to her in some 13 years now but apparently she thought me close enough to want to know what color my underthings are. Yeah…

Ohh Becky, thank you for posting this, it’s nice to share a little rant about this idiocy. I banged my head against various hard surfaces after first reading about the meme and continue increasingly frowny with every person who takes part. I would dearly like to link your post on FB, but I’ve done quite a lot alienating of facebook friends already recently.

Unrelatedly and without wishing to threadjack, for anyone who hasn’t had their fill of fury today I give you: The Miss Earth Beauty Pagaent. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2010/jan/08/miss-earth-2010

If we really want to help with breast cancer awareness and use a ‘promotional tool’ to assist that goal….how about this “pink glove dance” from hospital workers in Portland, Oregon….pretty neat actually!!!!!

Thank you so much for this post! I seem to have spectacularly silly friends, ALL of whom’ve joined on the bandwagon.

My status now quotes the first comment on the Feminazery post: okay, now please describe the colour of your morning dump to raise awareness of bowel cancer.

Oh, and now I just received it again from a different friend, and this time it mentions breast cancer awareness. I replied with some links that are actually *helpful*. Sheesh.
