October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that is why you'll see pink everywhere for the next month.  I've shown my support with changing the color scheme here this month to feature more pink.  Nearly every one has has known a loved one or suffered themselves with breast cancer.  Here's hoping they find a cure for this deadly disease.

Now that I have shown solidarity to the breast cancer movement, I will rant a little bit about what sort of  bugs me about it.  Again, please know that I am totally supportive of raising money of breast cancer awareness.  The purpose here is to be a little facetious and sarcastic for humor.

First, the proliferation of pink is taken almost a bit too far.  Its one thing to change a web sit color for a little while or wear a pink armband or bracelet to show your support.  Now, though, you can buy pink light bulbs for your house!  (Imagine pink light bulbs out on the porch at night.  Instead of the red light district, I guess you have the pink light district, where the girls will only go part of the way.)  Every Sunday, NFL teams will have players wearing pink cleats, gloves, and uniform patches.  Refs will throw pink penalty flags.  The excitement of October playoff baseball will get a dose of ridiculousness with certain players hitting with pink bats.  I get it!  I'm aware now!  I don't think the message is in danger of being lost because someone didn't wear pink.  I just pray never to see the guys from Duck Dynasty wearing pink camoflage or see Phil shooting ducks with a pink rifle.  Would I be surprised, though?  Nope.

Lt;s face it!  Breasts are beautiful (on women!)  So, when it comes to saving breasts, what a noble cause!  However, colon and rectal cancers are not near as pretty as breast cancer. So, what do we who suffer from colon or prostate cancer do to draw attention to our predicament?  We need our own color.

After much consideration and thought (about 8 seconds)  I propose brown.  Yeah, definitely not near as sexy as pink, but appropriate for the color of bowels.  People could dye their hair brown for a month, or wear brown shoes to work every day, or wear a brown patch on your underwear?  I can see that promotion!  "Skid Marks For Colon and Prostate Cancer Awareness!"

What do ya think?   .
