Fight breast cancer and have fun doing it!!!
Posted: 08-26-08 09:03am

Watch this fun video at http://www.youtube.co m/watch?v=PiFUCBb0l7s and forward the link to spread awareness.

"Bring Breast Awareness back to the Workplace.” That’s the idea behind this breast cancer awareness campaign from Rethink Breast Cancer – an innovative charity that speaks to young people concerned about and affected by breast cancer.

Every year, they sell Fashion Targets Breast Cancer shirts to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. And this time, they’re selling them at the office. Actually, they’re getting supporters to do the selling for them.

The campaign incorporates 1960’s office inappropriateness, similar to what you’d find in any episode of Mad Men, to spark discussion about this sensitive topic. They want people to know that breast cancer awareness is important everywhere - just because it’s the workplace, doesn’t mean the subject should be off-limits.

I checked this out, it's a real company selling shirts for breast cancer research. You have to give them credit for having the guts to do something like this.

A little risqué, but it's for a good cause so I have to support it.

I think this is appalling. They're objectifying women to make money! Anyone else disgusted??
