What Your Bra Color Facebook Status Update Says About You
By Adam Tod Brown
Social networking sites have certainly seen their share of idiotic moments, but what broke out on Facebook yesterday may take the #1 spot on that list. If you logged on to your Facebook page yesterday, you probably noticed a number of your female “friends” posting status updates that just said “red” or “black” or “beige” or “pink.”
If you haven’t already figured it out, they were posting what color the bra that they were wearing at that time was. We’re not going to go into the reasons why this is being done, mostly because we don’t care and therefore don’t want to do the research. Instead, we’ve put together this handy key to help you decipher what those status updates really mean.
I’m elegant, in a marginally expensive Craigslist escort sort of way.
I’m a Craigslist escort. Consider this my call for help.
Please, for the love of God, somebody look at my tits.
I’m a 56 year-old barfly. Or a prostitute. Or both.
I got a Victoria’s Secrect giftcard for Christmas.
Be advised, I’m fucking insane.
This is a stupid idea.
My husband hasn’t touched me in years.
I’m single. And lonely. And desperate.

If you had taken the "time" to research, you would have discovered this was a way to raise awareness among FEMALES about breast cancer awareness!

You should care about the reason this was being done and blatantly stating that you don't is ridiculous and makes you as annoying as angry hipsters with trust funds. In attempts to be amusing while clearly putting people down, I'd recommend using spell check, otherwise it doesn't work so well…. Cheers to breast cancer awareness (I'm wearing navy….I wonder what that would say about me?). At least you care enough to give it some awareness, intentionally or not.

It was raising awareness about awareness? That's very meta.
Incidentally, what are the numbers these day on people not aware of breast cancer who need social media to vaguely bring attention to the issue for them? Just curious.

Depends. Are you a dude?

Oh, please. There can't be a single person left in Western civilization who doesn't know about breast cancer. Meanwhile, prostate cancer kills almost as many people as breast cancer, and nobody gives a damn. Because fighting prostate cancer isn't hip and trendy. So please, keep up the smug sermonizing about how virtuous your cause is. After all, who cares if a bunch of MEN die?

Testicular cancer is a big killer Sundog, I agree, but if men talked to each other and supported each other in the way women do, they might also be able to use networking sites to draw attention to the cause.
It's not that people don't know about breat cancer, but as with any type of marketing, the cause has to be reinforced and continually highlighted otherwise it can easily slip out of the public eye.
I've never been used this site before and I won't be coming back either, I can't believe the infantile jibberish that has been posted here. Get on with your lives and if you haven't got enough to do then go out and fight the cause to raise awareness to get more research and funding for fighting testicular cancer to save mens' lives.

You know, this has been retweeted almost 200 times. And I may be flying out on a limb here, but I think Adam knew exactly why women were posting their bra colors. So he seems to have drawn quite a bit of attention to this as well, he just made some jokes while doing it.
What color are the panties everyone has in a bunch?

I don't know, my solid grasp on capitalization and compound words really fills me with content.

Why just females? Men get breast cancer too, so why discriminate when cancer doesn't?
