There are people who care about finding a cure for breast cancer, and I'd love for my Zune proceeds to go to finding that cure. But I can't see myself buying a pink device like that.
There is a difference between buying a pink bracelet or ribbon for a couple or bucks and buying a pink Zune for $250.
If you really want to raise money for the cause, why restrict yourself to a single color? Just because the originating ribbon is pink?
As a guy, my chances of getting breast cancer are extremely slim, so I only donate to prostate cancer and testicular cancer funds.
Did you guys know that the government funds breast cancer at about SEVEN TIMES the rate of prostate cancer? Even though the two cancers kill at about the same rate?
I guess its the same reason that only men are drafted as cannon fodder.
Well, for one thing, prostate cancer isn't given quite the same publicity as breast cancer. It was rather disappointing when you didn't suggest a brown zune (what a crazy idea) for prostate cancer, though...
Sorry guys, I'm not on with the idea of associating prostate cancer with poo any more than I am infatuated with the idea of associating breast cancer with saggy National Geographic boobies, mastectomies, or pus leakage. Everything is pink on the inside anyway, right.
And its shockingly short-term thinking to say that you would rather see old women's tits saved than your own prostate.

Yes... because only people who like pink gadgets care about breast cancer...
Someone should let them know they've been underbid by Woot by $149.99... but then again, you can't get pink.

Have you never seen a breast cancer ribbon. Talk about a douche thing to say.

What about prostate cancer?

That's cause the government has their priorities straight. I'd much rather see womens' breasts saved than mens' asses :)

1) Buy a brown Zune on Ebay.
B: Donate the difference between what you paid and the MSPR to prostate research.
