I don't mean to be cynical - It's just that all this
pink everywhere for Breast Cancer awareness has lost it's novelty and appeal and is getting old. I don't like seeing
pink every sunday. I mean WTF? Breast cancer is not the only disease women (and men) get. I do believe there are alterior (read money $$$) motives at work here. I wish we could go back to the days of just being Black, Gold and White.

"When Janet McNeill's sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in the early 1990s, the signature pink awareness ribbons only came with a cosmetic product or two.
Now one can buy a week's worth of groceries, feed a cat, cure a yeast infection and catch a flight all while using pink ribbon-endorsed products and transportation. For McNeill, watching images of the National Football League players with pink gloves, pink cleats and pink towels this week pushed her cynicism over the edge.
"At first, I got excited about all the pink. It makes you really feel good, and then seeing everyone come together at the Avon walks, it was just so exciting," said McNeill, 50, whose sister died of breast cancer in 2000. McNeil
was diagnosed with the disease last June.

"As the years go on … you begin to question," said McNeill. "It's sort of like pink is green for people. It means money for them, or it means attention … but where is the money going, what are they actually
doing to eradicate this?"
Am I the only one who thinks all this
PINK STINKS?
