So what color would the prostate cancer ribbon be?
Brown?
(And see the Kilted for Cancer campaign recently completed by the EMS folks, like Kelly Grayson aka Ambulance Driver. There's a statement for ya.)
C'mon man! You know it's the marketing idiots trying to get more women to watch the game. Same thing with toning down the violence. They want to ruin football just like they ruined baseball. I want guys who pop greenies, and Morgana kissing the pitcher!
Chuck Martel has it right.
I agree that I'm a bit tired of the ribbons and "awareness-rasing" as if nobody heard of breast cancer before. This isn't the 60s when people didn't even say the words "breast", "prostate", or "cancer" out loud in public.
That said, I just had a mammogram for a lump in mine. It's okay, it's not the c-word. But a lot of people don't know that men CAN get breast cancer. It's 1% of cases. It's usually caught very late because men don't even think of it. So if you do feel any oddness near you nipples, get your doc to check it.
Bonus: when a woman complains about how much they hurt, I can say no they don't. And she'll say "how do YOU know?" And I say "because I've had one". I win.

I ask what is the ribbon for? When they say to cure breast cancer, I ask how many it has saved.
Style over substance.
Can't decide which ribbon to wear because I have not yet decided what is my favorite disease.

That's why I visit here--never wore or owned any of these ribbons, never will.

I never liked the yellow ribbon idea, relating to support for troops. It goes back to the John Wayne film, "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon". It was a romantic attachment of a woman for a soldier. More recently there was a song, "Tie A Yellow Ribbon". That was a romantic attachment for a woman and someone just released from prison. Both of these have to do with romantic situations, not general support for troops. I support our troops, but I ain't swapping spit in the shower with one. And I sure ain't doing that with a prisoner.
I can't decide whether to wretch or scream every time the TV news cuts to the street to some airhead talking coif with a microphone who says "[name of group] is doing [X] 'to raise awareness'"
The phrase "to raise awareness" should be driven from the language.

I dunno. How many are aware that they in effect put the Weather Underground in control of the country? They need to be, so they'll understand why they're suddenly hiding in the cellar, eating rats.
I'm more than willing to lend a hand or two to support healthy breasts.
But I'd like to have discretion of when and where.

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that can't stand this crap. It's getting tougher to watch the NFL with all the politics, causes and the over hyped Super Bowl.

Ah yes, Chuck, I remember that song by Tony Orlando & Dawn:
"Tie a yellow strip of plastic 'round every G_d d_amn thing in sight
It's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don't see a yellow strip of plastic 'round every G_d d_amn thing in sight
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow strip of plastic 'round every G_d d_amn thing in sight"
I wonder what liberals think will happen when enough awareness has been raised? Will cancer magically disappear from the world?

Obama and the Democrats = Cancer #1
