How LOW Will Komen GO?: Some Late Entries

Actually, a number of these entries in our How LOW Will Komen GO? contest have been sitting in my e-mail in-box for a week or more. But anyway, here they are now.

From Amorette
High School Bans Breast Cancer "Awareness" T-Shirts

Amorette says, "What gets me is that the whole thing is one big roil of confusion. It looks overtly explotative, for one. But then their moms ... and they're only high school students. Not sure how to feel about this one."

Note from Jeanne: The shirts said "Save Second Base." Sounds to me like high school students pushing the sexist window to see if the adults were dumb enough to let them get away with it.

One more:
"Oh ... forgot about the syndicated morning show, 'The Daily Buzz,' with their 'Man-Up' campaign....'Support your wives and girlfriends by giving them breast exams.' Not sure how I feel about that one either.

"In both cases, it's like the potential for decency is there and it falls a little short."

Get those entries in, folks. The winners will be announced tomorrow.

The winner gets a lifetime supply of Boycott October buttons and the use of my 1964 Corvair for a weekend whenever he or she is in Seattle.

Yeah, "Save Second Base", with two baseballs over the chest. Classy.

The "give your wives breast exams" comment was kind of flipped out there during a newscast. I've been looking hard for the same sentiment in print and haven't found it- a lot of generic "support". You know, a double handful of support. *eyeroll*
