    October is National Breast cancer Awareness Month. Men, let's do our part and be very AWARE ;)

    [Edit: Moving motivating antecdote closer to the top for those quick-to-reply types]
    This actually was not meant to be offensive. The wife was watching TV and I was reading a book, when a NBCAM ad came on the TV. Naturally, my manly ears half-heard "Breast Awareness Month" on the commercial outro. Afterwards I was very attentive to the commercials while my wife watched TV. Eventually, I heard the whole commercial.

    I am all about tasteless and immature and offensive jokes, but dude, this is actually somewhat over the line. Ever had a loved one die of Breat Cancer? A 32-year old grad of my high school just died of it. It is not actually that sexy.

    It's very unfortunate that many people think that only women get breast cancer. Rod Roddy from The Price is Right had it as well. I wish your uncle the best and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

    Is there anyway for something with the word cancer in it to be funny? Probably not.

    You guys are too ****ing sensitive. I'm willing to bet that many of you get a great deal of enjoyment from the humor of Dave Chappelle, Carlos Mencia and a hundred other comedians who base their routines around very sensitive subjects. Maybe they should scrap the racial, sexist and mentally challenged material so as to not continue to step over that line.

    Lighten up.

    My mother has implants. Not because she wanted larger breasts, but because she had cancer in both of them and they had to be removed.

    Thanks for taking me back man. I needed that :rolleyes:

    Seemed like he was being harmless enough to me. I don't think he meant to overtly offend anyone.

    *yes, I have had relatives die from cancer and my mom had a breast cancer diagnosis scare 2-3 years back.
