Controversy is busting out all over the United States thanks to a peculiar language choice.  We’ve all seen those breast cancer awareness bracelets, right?  Those little rubber pink bands that might have a little slogan on them, or say something about curing breast cancer?  Well, Carlsbad, California-based charity organization Keep A Breast, which is designed to increase awareness of breast cancer among young women, is running into some issues with their choice of language.  The use of the word “boobies” on their breast cancer awareness bracelets is getting them banned by school districts.

“We have an existing dress code that specifically states clothing, jewelry or accessories with sexually suggestive language or images is not allowed at school,” said Clovis Unified School District spokeswoman Kelly Avants.  Clovis is one of many school districts that has banned the bracelets.  Other school districts tell students to wear them inside out, so boobies aren’t visible, or remove them entirely.

I mean, this is for a great cause, so why can’t the school district look past the boobies and see the real issue?  Are some kids just wearing them because they say “boobies” on them?  Yeah, sure.  Who cares?  If you think kids aren’t saying/doing much worse things than breast-themed bracelets, you’re not paying attention.

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
