Sex is positive. Everyone loves sex. People will associate the message of breast cancer awareness better because they will associate that message with a good thing, sex.
EDIT: Rose that video is hilarious.

When I read the headline, I thought ‘oh great, now we even have girls willing to sleep with someone to raise awareness’, although that in itself does not surprise me whatsoever; for this actually to be used in a marriage context does, which will probably get it banned from public advertising. ^___^

yeah, how dare they try to cut down a cancer rate by using an anti feminist slogan, don’t they know feminism is more important than cancer!!!!!
btw grow up, STOP TAKING EVERY CHANCE YOU GET TO CRY ABOUT THE ‘POOR VICTIM WOMAN’. Its a t-shirt that intends to raise awareness of a fcuking cancer by having a slightly provocative, jokey saying on it. I mean my God, you even try to make something that intends to help woman cancer sufferers into a an attack on females.
Edit:
sorry for sounding angry, I use words like feminist in my answer because your question is a feminist one (either that or your not too intelligent). I’m not trying to be rude, but please don’t recite the question, i read it and it’s in itself feminist- you consider it wrong to sexualise felling breasts which, with breasts being what they are, is a sexualised act. The t-shirt intends to help detect a cancer! so what if the detection came from a sexualised act, are you saying you’d rather have cancer than have a man feel your breasts?
My "poor woman victim" comment was aimed at the fact that you feel sexualising feeling your wife’s breasts is wrong.
You are probably a nice person but I only have your question to judge your character on so please excuse the rudeness, after all your question asks people to agree with you that sexualising the act of feeling your wifes breasts is more wrong than your wife getting cancer

Funny thing, I find this no more inappropriate than any other "breast cancer awareness". What I find inappropriate is having it constantly shoved at me. I am aware that breast cancer exists, I am aware of how to have it diagnosed. My aunt had a radical double mastectomy. I don’t wear pink ribbons, have a pink bumper sticker or donate money to a "foundation" that makes sure that cents on the dollar goes to research.

Although the save a life, grope your wife shirt borders on inappropriate (just the word grope really has a negative connotation to me), I think the other ones help much more than they would hurt.
Most people definitely don’t always associate breast cancer with breasts. Yeah, sounds dumb, right? But in reality, you don’t associate the things guys love so much with a deadly cancer, nor would you associate it with the risk of a woman losing her breasts (or even worse – her life). I like that commercial (although the gay sailors in the background are baffling) – I think it gets its point across, and it definitely captured my attention (and everyone elses with a pulse and mild attraction to women)!
I don’t think it’s sexualizing cancer as much as it is simply making a point about breast cancer – it’s really marketing genius as it’s relevant and gets people’s attention. In college, my fraternity actually did a breast cancer found raising event – a wing eating competition, and our slogan (Save a Breast, Eat a Wing) got denied by the school. Personally, I saw nothing wrong with it, but apparently some people found that offensive, so I guess I’m a bit less sensitve about slogans and advertising than others.

OK, i find that really offensive, and i as for the video that untamed rose has posted, words fail.
Beating breast cancer is not about saving the boobs that men love so much, its about saving fucking LIVES! Most women who have beaten breast cancer have done so because they have had a mastectomy.

American culture is feminizing/sexualizing everything.
And I mean everything.

"Save a life, grope your wife" ? Does anyone else find sexualizing CANCER as just a little inappropriate? Thoughts? Opinions?
Untamed Rose: "Wow" is about the only thing that comes to mind when I watched that …
TonyS: Um… why so angry? If you actually read my initial ‘question’, all I did was ask for thoughts and opinions. I stated that I find sexualizing cancer just a little inappropriate, but I really just wanted to hear what everyone else’s thoughts on this were. I’m curious and like hearing others’ opinions on things. "Feminist" and "poor woman victim" mindset is about the LAST thing people who know me would say about me. But thanks for your … opinion … all the same.
