Drink for the Cure!

Okay, this whole "Support breast cancer" thing has finally got out of hand. At first, this lunacy was limited to traditionally female markets; that is things like beauty products, cookware, and such things, occasionally punctuated with high profile events like "walk for the cure". Not too long ago, they broke out into the mainstream. We're seeing things like "breast cancer M&Ms" and "breast cancer deodorant", for example. Sheesh.

Not too long ago, it officially got of hand. I was picking up some stuff at our local Sam's Club, when I spied this little gem:

Yup, that's right, Give the Gift of Life, and Drink for the Cure!

While I think these efforts are well-intentioned (if a little self-serving on the part of the companies jumping on the bandwagon) there's a far, far better method of making guys care: If we cure breast cancer, there are more boobies to go around, and that's an undeniably good thing.

(Oh, it's "Support Breast Cancer Research", you twits. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen people sporting stickers proclaiming that they support breast cancer. Don't they proofread these things?)

Personally, I'm holding out for Smoke for the Cure. At this rate, it'll be another two months, one week, and three days.
