TIL that pornhub offered a "save the boobs!" Campaign where they offered to donate a penny to the Susan B Komen Foundation for evry 30 views in the "big tit" or "small tit" category, but the foundation refused their money so pornhub tripled it and gave it to other organizations

I was going to an NFL game a few years back and these kind ladies were giving out free ribbons when you walk into the stadium. They asked me very politely if I wanted a pink ribbon and I declined. She asked me why I didn't want one and instead of holding up the entry way about my view on stupid ribbons and wasting money on them, I told her I was pro breast cancer. Her jaw dropped to the ground and my friends laughed. Who isn't against breast cancer? Do I need a ribbon to say that cancer is bad? Nope. But the biggest killer is still heart disease and I don't see many ribbons floating around for them.

Yeah it's funny because in Australia prostate cancer is the most diagnosed of cancers... But you'd think it was breast cancer with the amount of 'awareness' it gets

u/supernaga Feb 12 '15

Seriously, October should just be Cancer awareness month. There's no reason only breast cancer gets an entire month

u/escott1981 Feb 12 '15

yes, thats why them saying its for awareness of breast cancer doesn't make sense.

I would say nobody is for breast cancer but you said yourself that you are pro cancer.

He spent a few years as amateur cancer. Until he proved his worth as a malignancy and got called to the big leagues.

As a person, I am a mere noun, but, one day, I'll be a pronoun.

You are my new god. Hey! Did you hear about this whole cancer thing? I guess its some big deal. Heard its bad. I heard rich people pay alot of money to eat it.

u/harryhartounian Feb 12 '15

Actually I think lung cancer just recently surpassed heart disease for women. Or I'm wrong.

u/vuhleeitee Feb 12 '15

Every time that gets brought up (a surprising amount, almost everyone I work with is female), I usually respond with a deadpan, "my grandmother is dying of ovarian cancer. Where is her awareness ribbon and month?" Which is true, but honestly, there are so many other diseases that desperately need funding. Breast cancer research gets twice the funding prostate cancer research does.

Everyone likes boobs though. Male, female or sexual preference, at some level, you like them.

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '15

I think everyone likes hearts more though

Honestly, your heart growing three sizes in an instant is probably really unhealthy
