Ribbons, fake flowers all suck! A friend of mine buys one ribbon for $1.00 only once then keeps them in the ribbon/fake flower drawer and then wears them on the designated week so the collectors stay away.

Promoting in Pink was insightful and illuminating. Amongst others, I loved your comment that “all the pink…was too cutesy for my taste.” I read all the reviews connected to your reference to “Pink Ribbons, Inc.” Thank you for that.

Barbara Ehrenreich has also famously skewered Pink Cancerland (as did the late Molly Ivins) as part of the USian cult and culture of Positive Thinking. Sharon, I've even seen a pink drill! And lots of pink cookware accessories.

I object to the ribbon game. The money and effort would be better spent helping support groups. Unfortunately they are the targeted group for this ribbon game. Dollars that could and should go to prevention are being wasted on these events. Most people don’t know that. We should be educating our friends who ask why we refuse to support such a waste.
