Beating a dead horse

I am apparently friends with/related to people who are INCREDIBLY CONVINCED that the stupid purse status is the BEST way to raise awareness. And feel the need to tell me such on my status that is actually ABOUT awareness.

*angrysigh*

    I like it on a hook by the back door.

    *ducks*

    But I totally agree with you.  It's cutesy but I really doubt it does a lot for awareness of anything.

    I don't care if people want to post it--they can do whatever they want! But I don't want 400 messages, and I'd rather have a clear message about ways to help. Just seems more logical :)

    You're suppose to post where you keep your purse as your status, and somehow that relates to breast cancer awareness.  Kind of like how they did the bra color last year.  At least the bra color was related to boobs. 

    So a lot of people have their status as "I like it on the counter" etc.  Someone sent me a message telling me to do it, but didn't mention that it was suppose to raise awareness, she just said it's to drive men crazy.

    I just figured out today that it had anything to do with purses or breast cancer.  I agree that it is stupid.

    Kinda hard to bring about breast cancer awareness when people aren't aware that's what the whole thing is about! I've been seeing the message on my FB for the past week, and had no clue what it was about.

    I'm aware that this is probably a wildly unpopular opinion but all the breast cancer stuff drives me insane.

    Are people really that unaware nowadays that we need facebook statuses to raise awareness?

    Because last I checked you can't buy gum or watch an NFL game with out being "made aware".

    And I can't tell you how aggravated I get when it is damn near impossible at times to find women's sports equipment that isn't pink or has a damn pink ribbon on it. 

    Fuuck TTC - I'm moving on.

    I just commented on your FB status before I saw this here, lol.  Well anyway, it kind of recapped this post's sentiments.

    I would rather post something like feel your boobs over where I put my purse to raise awareness. I agree with you Mandy, it's all over the place and I'm pretty sure most of the population is aware of breast cancer.

    It isn't about raising breast cancer awareness so much as it is about being an attention whore.

    I'm pretty sure we're all "aware" of breast cancer with all the pinkwashing that's been going on.

    That's what it was when it first went around last year or earlier this year. It originally didn't have anything to do with breast cancer awareness at all. That's why it's annoying me.
