This morning I walked into the kitchen as usual, and my eye was attracted to a sack of potatoes. Cancer Potatoes. Breast Cancer Potatoes. Apparently cancer sells in the same way sex sells. Disgusting.
I don't even know what to say. That's a little insane. As good of a cause as it is, and as much as I like pink (not obsessively so, but it has its place in this world), I steadfastly refuse to buy anything that's breast-cancer pink because it just feels so pushy. There were even pink hoses in the gardening department of one my local big-box stores.
It is a little bizarre the way that pink ribbon shows up everywhere these days.

ReplyDeleteThat's insane.
ReplyDeleteThe pink ribbons that raise "awareness" drive me crazy. Cancer research needs MONEY to be raised not
awareness.
I bet they weren't thinking that well when they decided on that closetab for their apples. Strange...
ReplyDeleteApples? Oh my.. This is not my morning at all!
