I'm all sypathetic for cancer sufferers of course, but I have to say I'm personally much more interested in non-cancerous mammaries. I vote we have a National Breast Awareness month (without the cancer) next month. Dunno what color we should turn our websites for that though, I would've said pink, but apparently it's been taken :).

We should stop celebrating breast cancer awareness and start celebrating breast awareness [theonion.com]. Millions of lives are tragically affected by unawareness of the full size and scope of these breasts. Failure to screen breasts early and often can lead to a rapid deterioration of sexy roles and a premature end to one's film career. Regular examination of breasts needs to be an important part of people's lives.

I redid mine last month ... but went with Brown.
Last month was colon cancer awareness month? How did I miss that?

spare a thought for your partners and get them to check

Here's a better idea: check them yourselves.

what about checkoutmyvagina.com? STDs, cervical cancer, etc are just as bad as breast cancer.

Early detection wouldn't even be a problem if women weren't so damned sensitive about strangers groping their breasts. Every time I try to diagnose a girl at the local bar I get smacked and treated like a pervert.

What would you rather talk about, breasts or prostates? I think you have your answer! That, or you have a rodent fetish...

And when there's a story about prostate cancer, this same 90% male audience will be joking around about that too. Get over yourself.

Exactly. Besides, we all know that if you're not pro-state, you're a terrorist!
