Breast cancer awareness.

Today I was in the cinema and a breast cancer awareness advert came on. At first I thought, "What the hell is this?" but I actually ended up quite liking it.

The video is at the bottom of the page.
The words she says are also on the page.

And YES, there are breasts in it... but I'm hoping we're all grown up for this thread to stay.

ok so clearly a male made that video....

honestly it's not absolutely necessary to have naked boobs in a breast cancer awareness advertisement so I really think a male was the driving force behind the creation of this ad

I don't think a male made it.

When I read those words I quite agreed with it. I'm pretty sure everyone hates something about their boobs that was on that list. Maybe you don't, I don't know. So, it's about appreciating your boobs whatever size or shape - 'cause one day you might get breast cancer and need to have them removed. It's saying there is nothing wrong with any of the boobs in the advert even though they are all different.

I believe the boobs make it effective. How could you do a video with those words, without the boobs? It would have a new meaning, if any at all. It's not like we've never seen them before. Most younger kids might act childishly towards it but hey, they're kids and won't understand breast cancer is actually a serious cause. o_o;

Edit: The boobs aren't being shown as sexual objects either... either a man or woman could have made it.

yeah but man did you see the way they were lying down on the bed or the bench? or whatever....one of them was like arching her back or something....

Doesn't really matter how they were sitting. I didn't find it sexual at all. It's the message that I liked. Boys will be boys but this was for mainly females anyway. We've all seen a pair, we all HAVE a pair. S'all good.

Pfft, I cant fap to that at all...take it away.

PS I learned today just how un-sexy the word "boob" is.
Semi decent advert though..for breast cancer that is
