Well, it's October. You know what that means! I had actually intended to boycott my annual Pink Ribbon Rant, until I saw something on the news this morning: The NFL is going pink this month to support breast cancer awareness. Their Pink homepage says "Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the U.S."
I will state again that I am not attacking women who have cancer. I am attacking the fact that breast cancer is "trendy." That some people think it's a joke that men really do get breast cancer. That breast cancer is not the deadliest form of cancer, or the most common cause of cancer deaths, but it seems to be the ONLY cancer that we talk about.
Okay - that's the pink ribbon rant for now. I originally wanted to rant about the NFL, so I thought I'd combine this into one post. In the interests of public safety, the NFL wants stadiums to pat down everybody entering the stadium! Since the pat downs are described as pretty useless in the article, I can't wait for the full body scans to start up if anything ever goes wrong at a football game.
Edit: Just found this great link listing a number of airport molestations . . . er pat downs.
