Breast Cancer Awareness I Like It

Breast Cancer Awareness month is on October, facebook users are seeing their facebook status update in the past few days that say "I like it on the floor" or "I like it on the couch" or "I like it on the kitchen counter".

Apparently, this "I like it..." has something to do with breast cancer awareness. This is a game campaign created on Facebook. Last year, where all of our lady friends suddenly had Facebook status updates like “Black,” “Red,” or “Polka dots” and no one had any clue what was up. Well, the game last year is about what color bra you were wearing at the moment. Words got around that the updates were for the bra colors of choice and the updates were meant to peak interest of those left out of the joke (read: males) in order to raise awareness about breast cancer.

The main purpose of Facebook was to step-up awareness in Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. The game was a tremendous success and it make the men wondering for days and created a lot of speculation for a few days, what was the colors about which also it made it to the news.

This year, the game has to do with the handbag or purse. The question is: Where we put our handbag the moment we get home? For example "I like it on the couch", "I like it on the kitchen counter", "I like it on the dresser" well you get the idea. Just put your answer as your status and the campaign starts rolling.

With all the aim of bringing about awareness, education, and empowerment to the masses, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrating its 25th year this month, October 2010. Breast cancer awareness is for bringing the reader some facts connected to the possibly life-threatening disorder, as well as some additional information on the most available approach for early detection. Breast Cancer Awareness I like it to continue forever.
