Though altruism is its own reward, we'll sweeten the pot even further: Anyone seen wearing this jersey will be granted amnesty from our Quincying, which has grown increasingly violent over the past few months. Trust us, it's a worthwhile investment.

It does kind of look like 'Saint's Row purple'. Well it's the thought that counts.

You know, if they ever cured cancer, they'd put themselves out of a very lucrative job. .....I'm suspicious of everything.

I'm suspicious of suspicion. If everything were on the up-and-up, what would you have to be skeptical about?

Even though you're a complete tool for making that comment I hope you never find out just how valuable these charities are for people dealing with cancer.

I have often considered this, being a medical student, and there are some specialities where employment is dwindling because they are getting very good at preventing these illnesses. That does not mean that they do not try to prevent them though. As a medical professional, you need a social conscience, and also there will always be illnesses so a job will be waiting in a related field if some line of illnesses every did dimish. TB was a good example since it used to be hugely prevalent and provided so many jobs in the Western world, but is now only a tiny part of other specialities.

so the money goes to increase breast cancer awareness? not to the treatment of breast cancer? Why endorse it? The article itself increased the awareness and i didn' have to pay for that.

Good cause, though I think they go a little overboard with the pink stuff.
I don't see any specially colored products in my store that promote prostate or testicular cancer awareness.

I really want to make fun of this for how ridiculous it is, but it's cool that all the money goes to the charity, unlike when you buy a lot of other stuff with the pink ribbon on it...
Overall I'm glad to see non-existent items being sold for a good cause lol

You know I recently read some information and heard some news about pink ribbon groups and why women are starting to turn against them. So I will not support it. From what I understand pink ribbon groups host support groups for woman who often look down on those who are dieing or those who can't keep smiling even though they are dieing. Often these groups remove those who are considered terminal cases, in order to protect the rest of the group from feeling sorry for them and to keep their spirits up. Well I say F that. I can't support that kind of stuff. A support group is suppose to help the dieing not celebrate only those will live.

What's up with the tattered ribbon?
My mother is fighting breast cancer now and everyone keeps giving her items with the ribbon, but none are torn like that. Special meaning, disrespectful, or trying to be stylized?

On a serious note, it's better to just cut a check to a research organization than buy pink ribbon stuff. Too much of the money spent on pink ribbon merch gets wasted on the production cost of the item. Just forego the item and send the money you would have otherwise spent buying a trinket straight to the source. That way, you know that 100% of it, not 5%, goes to the cause.

I agree with this sentiment, but just because i think it's better to just give money direct in the first place than buy a bunch of junk you don't need, even if it is for a good cause (touchy subject in the family though, as my aunt beat a particularly nasty variant of Breast Cancer, and has been almost obnoxiously gung-ho about pink ribbon stuff ever since. I can understand why, though)
