As a chance to re-enact being a giggling middle-schooler, it was fun. But it strikes me as a little weird to attach as serious a cause as cancer to something so silly. But then, I've been getting disenchanted with the whole Komen campaign recently.

Then others did similar "Black", "Cream". Based on the colours, I worked out it had to be bras or knickers. But interestingly, here in the UK, none of my friends knew that it was started as a breast-cancer awareness thing. They thought it was just a lark.
