Finally someone else gets it. My aunt has been all about pink ribbon shit since my mom got BC in 2000.

I just want to tell her that it would be a much better idea for her to just write a fucking check to the ACS instead of buying pink ribbon notebooks and pink ribbon sweaters and pink ribbon car magnets and pink ribbon pens and pink ribbon fucking dildos.

Especially because she's a raging bitch. One time while visiting with my parents at our other house, she was talking about some piece of decor and she said "I get this when you're gone." She said that shit, to my mom's face. She said that to a terminally ill person. My mom just said "well shit, I ain't dead yet!"

This is also the woman who, when my grandmother died, lumped all of her stuff together (including old books, clothes, and fucking photographs) to throw away.

A friend of mine told his terminally ill aunt last night that it was just god calling her home.

That's one painful call.

A long distance call.

always check caller id before answering

Guys, guys, guys. Hugs and stuff. <3
I am saddened by how easily bad formating leads to a TL:DR from me. I didn't even focus on the first word before giving up.

auugh fuck religion and fuck people for saying stupid shit.

There's no "finally" about it...many, many cancer patients fucking hate ribbons. Think Before You Pink is a good example. I fucking hate going into a grocery store in October and everyone's just packaged shit in a pink box to exploit the breast cancer frenzy.

Last year I wore a shirt that said, "I'm confused...was someone FOR breast cancer?"

Edit: I also altered a roll of "pink ribbon" wrapping paper and crossed out all the pink ribbons with a sharpie, then used that for gifts that year.

I support pencils

Think before you ink.

I actually wear purple ribbons, not that anybody pays attention to them. Perhaps that's the purpose of creating awareness.

I'm glad that the ribbon for brain tumors is gray (HA HA GRAY MATTER GET IT) and too ugly to be marketable.

Edit: As far as purple ribbons are concerned, they're one of those that has been appropriated for so many ailments that it'd be hard to tell what you were trying to raise awareness of.

Sometimes I tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.

It's usually Domestic Violence. But yeah, I looked that up once and it was discouraging. :(

I like that song.

What colour ribbon do I wear to remind everyone there is like a billion ways we can suffer and die at any moment? :(

rainbow

Do as I do and just be a maypole.

a maypole of sadness

also, if anyone said "I get this when you're gone", I'd do everything I could to make damn sure they didn't.

Yeah, I'm like that. My siblings aren't getting jack shit when I kick the bucket.

Hundreds of dollars stolen. HUNDREDS.

They could have it.... After I shot a duce in it. :lol

I come from a well balanced family. I think even in the toughest times we'll still be more worried about each other rather than ourselves.

Fuck that, I hate most of them. The only people I could really give a damn about are my mom and some of her family.

I saw this on a car once:

and started laughing immediately. RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE GREAT BASKETBALL TRAGEDY.

So after the Virginia Tech shooting, the store I was working at made ribbon pins from shit in the floral department and tried to sell them for 99 cents each (proceeds going to, um, the grocery department)--I was pissed because, seriously, fuck you.

Fuck ribbons.

Fuck awareness.

Want to know something else that pisses me off, on the topic?

"Save the Ta-tas."

I understand doing what you can to find humor in any situation, but fuck you.
