Has anyone else's Facebook feed become littered with that "post the color of your bra to raise awareness of breast cancer" meme, and it's reactions?

Because one, the reactions on mine are making this so worthwhile to me:

K.L.: I would rather burn my bra than post what color it is. Advertizing the color of your bra to raise awareness for breast cancer caters to hetero males, contributes to the sexualization of the disease, and trivializes female-specific health issues.

C.B.: I really wish that I didn't know the color of your undergarments.

And two, it's making other one-word posts on my feed surreal:

B.B.: iphone!!!!!!!!

*sings* Not that you prob'ly care / Much about my underwear

While I appreciate, I feel the need to point out the appropriateness of the next line of the show.

Yes! For especial surreality, one of the one-word posts on my feed today (which, to be fair, is connected to a link to a Youtube video) reads "theremin".

So my facebook feed comes out something like:

"nude"
"nude or black"
"I am wearing clothing really"
"theremin".

*cracks UP*

I think a theremin would make for even worse boob support than an iPhone. (Even more surreal, of course, is that the "iphone!!!!!!!!" status comes from a guy.)

God, it's driving me crazy. Not only because it doesn't do anything to help fight breast cancer, but also because I'm weirded out by the fact that I'm apparently the *only person I know* who's wearing a plain white bra. (Well, a white bra still stained slightly pink in one spot with fake blood from last Halloween.)

In any case, I have too many recent and current students friended to ever talk about my bra on Facebook. It was bad enough when I ran into a male student who worked at WalMart when I was bra shopping.

[Frank] And what charming underclothes you both have. [/Frank] Maybe we should start a countermeme where guys post the color of their underwear (and maybe specify boxers or briefs) to raise awareness of testicular cancer.

Advertizing the color of your bra to raise awareness for breast cancer caters to hetero males

Wait, what?

I think the idea there is "hetero males are slavering to know the color of your bra; anything that encourages you to advertise it for other reasons is just playing right into their sweaty hands".
