How LOW Will Komen GO?: Teri's Entry

Teri, the Cheeky Librarian, sent me this entry to our contest:

Hair Extensions for Breast Cancer Awareness

And here is the comment that I tried to post on the ABC News site, but the "security key" (where you have to read letters against a weird background and type them in) defeated me about eight times. How about a "security key light" for those of us who are security challenged?

REALLY BAD IDEA!!!! Are we having a party here? A party to celebrate breast cancer? And how do you think all the women who are bald from chemo are going to feel? This is NOT the way to show support for women with breast cancer. If you know a woman who has cancer--of any kind--offer to clean her bathroom. Offer to go to the grocery store for her. Bring over dinner and a movie. Or ask her what you can do to help her and show your love and friendship. Putting in pink hair extensions is NOT the way. Trust me, I've been living with breast cancer for 10 years now (it has metastasized to my bones), and this disease will kill me sooner rather than later. It is not something to be celebrated with pink hair! Jeanne The Assertive Cancer Patient www.assertivepatient.com

argh, those damn security keys. sometimes i start t0 feel like a criminal, after my fourth or fifth attempt. a really, dumb, blind criminal. are there special glasses we're supposed to be wearing? is there a magic decoder to pass over the holographic image? if i rub my eyes, or squint, or open them WIDE, (or all 3) will i THEN get it right? torturous, i tell you. not to mention mind boggling.

Jessica--glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with the security keys. I was really feeling like an idiot there, but I COULD NOT read the words.
