"it's dumb b*tches posting their bra colour to raise awareness of breast cancer...don't ask them how it helps fight breast cancer in any way tho. they aren't really sure.

spoiler alert: it doesn't"

Something about that got me so pissed off, between the ignorance and the sheer stupiditiy, I had to give this guy (no idea who he is) a piece of my cyber-mind.

ME :...Pretty sure you explained the reasoning yourself.

How does it fight cancer? By raising AWARENESS of breast cancer.

Why do schools make students walk on Terry Fox day? Why do we see multitudes of people walking around with a different coloured ribbon on their chests?

spoiler alert: AWARENESS.

I don't know who you are, but ignorance is the reason why we need awareness in the first place.

I support these "dumb b*tches", not because I'm some kind of humanitarian, but because its just the morally right thing to do."

Internet tough-guy forever

Yeah because there is a serious lack of awareness about cancer...

Furthermore I'm not sure if we live on the same planet but there is nothing morally right about supporting this campaign. That would suggest that not supporting it is morally wrong, which of course is bulls***.

As has been posted since you made your post, really great things to do would be to give $$ to breat cancer research or pressure the government/health care industry to make mammograms more prevalent and accessible.
