Such Facebook statuses is in effort to raise Breast Cancer Awareness. Sometime ago, I had seen people posting the color of their bra as their status for the same purposes. Don’t get me wrong. I know women who had fought (and are still fighting) the battle of breast cancer and many survived. I have all of the respect in the world for them; but what does this birthday thingy have to anything do with breast cancer? At least bra colors are linked to breasts; but this? Dislike.
