Whatever that means
ChadTower:
There is a backlash growing against all of the super profitable breast cancer awareness events while other forms of cancer are perceived as ignored. He's not the first person I have heard say that and it may not sound great but the sentiment is valid. It's not a "breast cancer isn't a problem" sentiment. It's more of a "we all know about breast cancer - let's get some funding for other types of research now, kthx" sentiment.
I rarely side with him on anything but I can't fault that one.
shmokes:
That's not the part that makes no sense. It's the part about Christina Applegate adding her voice to Breast Cancer awareness out of vanity rather than, say, cos she was afflicted by a horrible disease that was likely to kill her (and is still reasonably likely to), the cure of which involved cutting off her tits and enduring horrible bouts of chemotherapy and radiation. I'm probably just grasping at straws here, but maybe that's the cause of her activism.

Yeah, the Komen organization has some issues: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/07/komen-foundation-charities-cure_n_793176.html... hopefully the good they do outweighs their administrative stupidity.

Ah, yeah, that's probably beyond his ability to empathize.
