Who Doesn't, Right?
The Keep A Breast Foundation has an inarguably honorable mission: “{T}o increase breast cancer awareness among young people so they are better equipped to make choices and develop habits that will benefit their long-term health and well-being.” Only the most twisted and misanthropic individual could believe that educating the public about breast cancer was a bad thing; as goes the old cliché, “If even one life is saved . . .”
We're Pretty Sure You Knew This Wasn't What We Meant By "Sweater Kittens," But It Does Help To Explain The Rabbit In The Cardigan.
Although theirs is a laudable goal, the KABF does their movement a marked disservice by employing inappropriate terms in their most prominent campaign: I ♥ Boobies. We are confounded as to why the Foundation would attach a juvenile term like “Boobies” to such a serious issue, as it only detracts from KABF’s very important message. With a plethora of synonyms for “breasts” from which to choose, this worthwhile organization has sadly opted to tread a sophomoric path by using juvenile language which might be considered appropriate in a junior high locker room. Perhaps we will have to mature as a culture before a more appropriate term is widely used. But for crying out loud, people–they’re called tits!
What, Are You Still In The Seventh Grade?
