I am so glad to know I am not the only woman sick and tired of and angry about this over-marketing obsession with pushing pink products using breast cancer as a guilt motivator among consumers.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death of American women and all this over-marketing of breast cancer drains away research dollars for heart disease that could save far more women’s lives.

Me too.

I have had bladder cancer, not a very glamorous subject. But I don't think that any merchandiser would use a yellow ribbon for bladder cancer to push his products. Or brown ribbons for colon cancer.

And if they did, I wouldn't buy.

Sick of pink? Come to Austin where everything is yellow all year round for Lance Armstrong's "Livestrong".

I really don't notice all the pink ribbons but I'm about to puke from all the yellow wrist bands.

Amen. I don’t buy any of that pink stuff and I try to tell my friends about the heart disease issue.

I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer; I don’t see how buying a bunch of pink stuff is going to help her out. (She is doing fine now after radiation; they got it early)

I believe that February is heart month. Red is the color, kids do jump a thons and the push the little red dress.
