The colors

    So yesterday a number of women posted a color on there status.  From what I figured it is the color of the bra they were wearing.  While women's underwear is something I enjoy in between my dirty thoughts was a rather profound one. 
    The internet is amazing! Most of us take for granted what we can do with the internet.  Lets ignore the 90% that is porn based (This is temporary guys, you can go back to searching for porn after you read this... I know I will after I get done writing about it.)  In the course of one day I had people from White Plains the Bronx and Queens posting there colors within 3 hours of each other.  By the 4th hour I read comments from people who lived in Seatle, Oklahoma & North Carolina. 
    From what I understand this is to support Breast Cancer Awareness so I can see why so many women would be willing to do it.  But it's the fact that they were able to do it that amazes me.  20 Years ago they would have had to spend millions of dollars to get the same word of mouth that they got in one day. Just because an organization is charitable does not mean they don't have to pay for Advertising.  Advertising being what it is I think this was a briliant idea and I hope that it helps with donations and awareness. 
    I think the fact that this phenomenon occurred and got me to not only look it up but read up a little on breast cancer is proof that the campaign is working.   Not only are the women putting up the colors but men are trying to figure out what it is about, and while I have read some message boards with guys talking about how they should expand on the ideas by showing women in there bras the joking has been good natured and none of the men have been disrespectful. (I'm sure if I searched hard i would find some insensitive dicks who would piss me off, but why bother wasting my time doing that?) 
    So now you have men & women who are aware of a horrible disease but in a way that does not talk down or depress people.  I mean cancer is serious but people's spirits need to be raised when you are sick.  I truly believe that a person's frame of mind helps them stay healthier and laughter is the best medicine.   This was a fun and effective way to raise awareness. 
    You may now return to your normal Porn searching habits, I know I am.
