I took the battle over pink to the Pink for October blog, which is one very nice guy named Matthew, who posted my anti-pink rant front and center on the blog today. To read it, see Pink for October.
Pink for October's goal to to convince as many Web sites as possible to "go pink" to promote National Breast Cancer Awareness month and raise money for breast cancer research.
So far, 500 Web sites and blogs gone pink, according to the site. While I see going pink as a distraction from the real issues, I can't fault Matthew's intentions.
Here's one of the comments on my post on the Pink for October site:
It seems as though "the pink" is more visible this year as opposed to previous years. It does spark the thought of what all that money could be used for.
We, for the most part, know what breast cancer is - finding a cure is where we need to be putting our funds toward.
