What is this FB status about?

sunnydays99 · October 2010

A lot of my female friends are posting "I like it on (insert random things here - ie, the kitchen table, the laundry hamper, etc)". I'm guessing this is something similar to the bra color status that was happening a while ago, but I can't figure it out! Anyone know?

where you put your purse....

I believe they're referring to there purse.

Oh, i was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the clarification. Now I can actually do one too. Hehe. Kind of dumb, but fun.

it's sooo annoying! IMO. I get that the reason behind it is for a good cause, but...it doesn't even relate!

It's where you put your purse. Can I take your post to rant about this though? This does nothing to raise breast cancer awareness or contribute to any sort of foundation. I just don't get it. Instead of adding this to your status - put what you actually did to help a cause that you care about. End of rant. Sorry.

October is Breast Cancer awareness month. Cause ya know, "keeping men in the dark" about something is totally raising awareness for breast cancer. I hate it, it makes me more angry then it should. People and their families are suffering from this and people think by posting something on their facebook they are doing their part. Annoying.

About a year ago, we played the game about what color bra you were wearing at the moment? The purpose was to increase awareness of October Breast Cancer Awareness month. It was a tremendous success and we had men wondering for days what was with the colors and it made it to the news.

This year's game has to do with your handbag/purse, where we put our handbag the moment we get home for example "I like it on the couch", "kitchen counter", "the dresser" well u get the idea. Just put your answer as your status with nothing more than that and cut n paste this message and forward to all your FB female friends to their inbox. It doesn't have to be suggestive.
The bra game made it to the news. Let's see how powerful we women really are!!! REMEMBER - DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWER AS A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE- PUT IT IN YOUR STATUS!!! PASS THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

This is the message I got about it. I haven't decided whether I am going to post yet or not. Seems to me like they want to make the news again.

If as many people do it as they did last year, it will make news and that's just another plug for breast cancer awareness. Sure, we're not really doing anything huge to help (aside from hopefully draw publicity) but it's also completely effortless...so why not?

If nothing else, it's a cute little game to play with your girlfriends. Lighten up. Big Smile

TBH that "game" is annoying the everliving f*ck out of me. Smile

While I get its a fun game, you cannot say that "I like it on the door knob" does anything. Because half the people posting it are just doing it cause everyone else is and they dont get it. People KNOW about breast cancer, instead of raising "awareness" and playing a game that makes people think they are doing good, raise awareness about the importance of getting checked, or how to check yourself, or places to donate money/time...not just sit on Facebook and hope the news figures it out.
