Everywhere you look, you see those damned support this or support that kind of ribbon. The pink ones, the red ones, the yellow ones, even the rainbow ribbons. But where are the gold ribbons? Who even knows what the gold ribbons support? This month (October) is breast cancer awareness month. Everywhere you look, you see those damned pink ribbons. Now, of course I'm not against research to find a cure for breast cancer, But, gentle reader, did you know that last month was Childhood cancer awareness month?
Of course you didn't.
It is symbolized by the Golden Ribbon.
But you never saw celebrities pleading with you on TV to donate to save the children. Target, Walmart, K mart didn't get behind it in a massive month long ad campaign. Campbell's Soup didn't dedicate gold labels in support. Este Lauder didn't sell fun little gold ribbon bracelets.
Why is that?
I think a big part of it is that if it got the constant coverage that breast cancer gets, >gasp<>
