    Thanks! I'm ok, it was caught early and all that. I'm good :)

    I know the no makeup selfie raises money but who gets that money? Don't get me started on the Susan G Komen pink ribbon crap! Awareness is one thing but how about funding research so the women who have stage 4 metastasis have some hope?

    edit: What I have learned is no one can truly understand how all of this affects them until they actually have to go through it themselves.

    The point of the no make up selfie is to show that in the time it takes to put on make up a woman can check her breasts yet putting on make up seems to be a priority! Can't believe I joined this just to post that, if you don't like something on Facebook don't whine like a baby, simply choose the I don't want to see this option, simple as! Ffs

    Strong first post, Gary. If you see something you don't like on MFP, don't revive a zombie thread, simply choose the back button. :laugh: Welcome to MFP!

    The blog that the link is posted to below really says it all. I post in on my timeline every time I see it getting stupid out there with a new "game", or some poor schmuck messages me with a prompt to join in. I'm not nice about it either. Stop the idiotic games and DO SOMETHING TO REALLY HELP!!!!

    Thanks for starting the thread OP. I received this last night. I responded to my friend that I could not see how it raised awareness of anything other than of the viral nature of nonsense.

    I am glad that trusty MFP already concurred with my response.

    This is the most ridiculous prank I have ever heard. Yes, it made you pay attention alright, but the wrong kind of attention. This stupid prank caused a rift between mother and daughter over a public announcement of a pregnancy that doesn't even exist. Who came up with this idiotic idea. I am more aware of Breast Cancer now, but less likely to donate to a cause that can't come up with a better campaign than this.
