The hell? Breast cancer is a "sham"? I know women who have had it. It is most certainly not a sham. And men can have it too, though it's much more rare than in women.

But I find the idea of a month dedicated to a certain cancer somewhat silly. I say have a month for all of them rather than have a month for various kinds. The only cancer awareness month that gets much publicity is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I've got plenty of emails and stuff about Movember.

I think the entire year should be Cancer Awareness Month.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

One of the viral advertisements for the month is women posting in their facebook profiles "I like it on the table" or "I like it up against the wall", in reference to their purses (It's a double entendre, if you're twelve and what is this).

Somebody in my Department posted up: "I like it in the kitchen where she belongs."

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Are you sure you aren't? I thought you had a nametag with that on it.

I find it really horrible that all these breast cancer awareness people aren't even aware of how to diagnose breast cancer. Well, I still don't know, because all the campaigns selling pink ribbons and stuff still don't give anyone any idea of how to know they have it and what are the main causes of it.

IMHO, it's overrated and a feminist thing. Not that it isn't horrible, but a lot of women like to stick up against breast cancer because only women can get it (actually men can get it too, but if the breast awareness campaigns worked, everyone would know that).

I think that we should use a color of text that represents all types of cancer equally.
