How do facebook status campaigns help breast cancer?

[...]

I mean, I'm aware of breast cancer, just like I'm aware of lots of other types of cancer. I really feel for the families and people who have gone through breast cancer, as I have had many close ones die from cancer. But recently there is the Facebook thing about the weeks and the candy cravings. How does it help?

It doesn't. Just about everyone who's old enough to know about breast cancer is already aware of it. Writing those stupid status updates does not help in any way. I think people just feel guilty if they don't do it so that's why they post it up plus they probably just want to make people wonder if they really are pregnant or not.

It doesn't. Seems like people who put that up want people to think their pregnant. It's dumb! Please dont put that as your status message unless your a dude that would be funny.
