Argh.
To explain that "pink" comment I posted on my facebook (to a friend that's on here as well, and it is hilarious that it's for a girl), my home multimedia server died a few days ago. I went out and ordered a new Dell desktop and they had this option to buy all these "pink" accessories such as mice and stuff to support breast cancer awareness. I'm not against awareness by any means, but what drives me nuts is that people that wouldn't write a check to a cause, in which 100% of the proceeds would go to said cause, would rather buy something with a logo on it, to which less than 30 cents goes to said cause simply for the social graces having said item brings.
Did you notice that basically all these"awareness" fads are perpetuated by rich stay at home white moms? I thought it was pretty cool for once for the state government to tell the autism people to stuff it and use the money they've already been given (which they haven't been) rather than ask for more.
It's really just the fault of the media.. I know, there's plenty of people out there doing all sorts of good, but we don't hear about it because it's not as easy as wearing a pink tshirt to the PTA meeting.
Just a rant.. whew. that feels better..
