But I do have a question for people in general, why does there seam to be more outrage towards this campaign than to other FaceBook campaigns? (This is just based on the 5 people on my own personal wall who have slammed the concept openly) I'm just curious, because I'm sure most people remember the "Bra Colour" campaign earlier this year, but yet nobody was willing to openly slam that concept.
Why is it that one campaign is okay and fun, while another seemingly similar campaign is offensive. I'm just curious.

Ermm, the bra color got blasted pretty harshly on CP too. I'm guessing because breast cancer has affected a lot more people than child abuse (although both are serious problems).

Btw, I was wondering how people felt about Movember. I did it myself, even though in all seriousness I hadn't given a crap about prostate cancer all my life. I raised quite a bit of money and donated personally, but in all honesty it was mostly paying for the privilege of having a little fun with the guys at work. I remember the G&M had an article blasting the concept of Movember and how it was slacktivism, just because of guys like me that generally think of it as a fun thing rather than a prostate cancer thing even though it raised a ton of money.
