Okay. When the f*ck do we get a cologne that will benefit prostate cancer research. I swear this country has turned in to such a matriarchy that it is sickening. When did these cows manage to sneak out of the kitchen?

Someone's knickers are twisted now aren't they?

Agreed.

But what would a prostate cologne smell like? And who would want to use it?

Well what doesn't cause cancer anymore...

Lobbyists.

I stopped supporting Komen when I saw diet sodas with the pink ribbon on it. Komen has also tried to deny links between BPA and cancer, because so many corporations sell products with the ribbon which also have BPA. It's called pinkwashing.There are much better cancer charities to support.

My personal favorite is the autism awareness puzzle ribbons. What does "Autism awareness" even mean? My interpretation is, "Don't call my kid retarded." It actually seems like a pretty cruel thing to do if you actually have a child with autism. These people are aware that in most cases they can read, correct? If I had children with some sort of medical issue, I certainly wouldn't be advertising it on my car, especially if it was the one I drove them to school in.

I don't have autism but something in the same spectrum or so. I imagine it probably amounts to "if I (or in this case the kid) act weird, just bear with me, I think and feel in a different way to you."

However, I doubt it works. Most normal people don't seem to comprehend that you might actually have a different thought process and less/more/different emotions to what they do. Usually they just try to say "oh, everyone's like that, you're just [some way that you're imagining it or causing it yourself]". I only bother explaining to people if I know them fairly well, otherwise I just assume they won't get it and let them think whatever they will.

My problem with that logic is that is seems to be under the assumption that everyone is going to be judging your child in a completely negative way. I may be an ass on Fark for the humor value, but in real life I can usually tell when someone has a problem like this, and I am certainly respectful and compassionate towards them. I would hope that most semi-intelligent individuals are aware of this disability. As an adult, if you pick on someone for being different, disabled, or in anyway handicapped, you are a worthless waste of carbon. It would seem to make more sense to have a ribbon that just says, "Don't be a dick."

In my experience it's not so much that they try to be a prick as they just don't understand the way your mind works, and so they take any unusual behaviour as you being as ass or whatever on purpose. I piss people off all the time by being "insensitive" to things that I just couldn't see why they'd be bothered by to begin with. Eventually I just developed a matching personality because hell, if I'm going to do it accidentally I might as well do it for fun too. To everyone else there's no difference.

I figure just about anything that a person comes into contact with has the ability to cause cancer. Free radicals man.

Snopes may have disproved that Cold Water Causes Cancer, but I have my doubts.

You seem very well put together and well spoken (written), and your that is a good point. Unfortunately, you can't put all that on a bumper sticker. I don't know if I personally have any sort of issue, but have a tendency to just say whatever I want. This doesn't always go over well with people. It is sometimes easier just to tell people I have Tourettes.

Yup. Exactly why I doubt the stickers do any good... rather than offer an explanation that wouldn't fit on a sticker to begin with it relies on people already knowing how something like autism affects a person, and most of them really don't. Further, the ones who did probably don't need the sticker to get the rough idea.

But then, people will put anything on their cars. It's like the public version of the refrigerator, and I don't expect it to be much more well thought out than the stickers, magnets and scrawled notes one finds there.

You do realize that that's pretty much the definition of "insensitive", right? So the sarcasm quotes are uncalled-for. Or maybe that was the joke.

Eventually I just developed a matching personality because hell, if I'm going to do it accidentally I might as well do it for fun too. To everyone else there's no difference.

So now you deliberately piss people off, when before you just did so accidentally? And you see this is an improvement?

Then again, nowadays EVERYTHING causes cancer. Even food coloring.

Considering the headline's use of French and its mention of irony... maybe I'm crazy, but it crossed my mind to wonder if, by some slight, slight chance, the submitter purposefully left the source link text as the default "Some Guy". Again, I realize it's very, very unlikely, but it would be subtly clever if it was in fact deliberate.

Seems like a sound business plan. Sell a product that causes breast cancer, and then you can ask people for even more money.
