Ok, yes I know breast cancer is bad, and wrong, in fact it is badong. And I applaud the efforts of those as Susan G. Komen for the Cure who promote it's awareness. But the pink of overwhelming. Pink ribbons good, but why is my lint removal roll pink? Why is my yogurt container pink? Yes, I know they need to get a message across and all that, and I am very impressed to see a non-profit take ownership of a color. But, really isn't it a bit much? I would like to suggest some guidelines.
Pink ribbon is good. Tells the message simply enough without too much fanfare.
Avon iPod cases. They are pink. Yay. I guess this suggests support for breast cancer stuff, or you really like pink and wanted a pink case. This is pushing it.
Now this is too much. Really, what the h*ll does this have to do with breast cancer? I just don't get it. They even had to suspend the game because of problems with the pink paint. Somehow I can't imaging people looking at this people playing hockey on what looks kinda like a bladder form a distance and think, "Hey, lets go support breast cancer research!".
