Or maybe I need more bra-centric thinkers on my friends list… hmmm…

Will you take your loved one — sister, cousin, girlfriend — to get a mammogram as a result of knowing so many bra colours?
I’m reminded a little of the Project Red campaign that spend more time and money on marketing itself than curing AIDS, or FAIDS for that matter.

I was so relieved when I saw useful information being posted by a friend instead of crazy colours.

Maybe here is a good reason to be grateful you have friends that don’t share that sort of information

I got distracted by the image above.
Kidding.
In all seriousness, I noticed a Facebook status update inquiring as to the meaning behind the posts. But, that was about it. I guess the fact that I’m reading this article shows that the marketing initiative was slightly effective, but I think Facebook could have been more direct.
Also, I just finished my first cup of coffee prepared by an upstanding coworker, so I may need to re-read once my brain is functioning.

What makes us think that describing the bra color would be a tool to increase awareness??? What next – the size? God help us.

Thanks for the update!
