One one hand it is a way of bringing a little levity to what is a very grim situation to be in. Sort of like Lord Byron's quote "and if I laugh at any little thing, tis that I may not weep". I would worry about causing pain though in people who are suffering who might not take it in the spirit it is obviously meant to be taken in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543441 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:28:44 +0000 Janet 543441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sending that link to two of my friends who are breast cancer survivors who I bet would get a big kick out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543439 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:24:39 +0000 rachylou 543439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It IS hella funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543413 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:00:02 +0000 ManidipaM 543413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>chewyspaghetti, it is precisely that. I like the idea of the lucky girls also wearing it in solidarity, though --- maybe even a tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect, boob job apologist. Anything that defuses the grimness of this terrifying spectre called cancer can only be a good thing, in my book --- though I might not wear one around a suffering friend, as it would seem to make light of her problems and perhaps her loss. </p> <p>That was what gave me pause. How do I know, wearing it on the street, that I won't strike a nerve in an actual sufferer, or a relation/friend of a cancer survivor (or, god forbid, of someone who lost the battle)? Would I want to risk that? I'm undecided. I *would* absolutely wear it at home, among friends and family who know me well enough though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543395 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:38:15 +0000 Jewell 543395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a coworker, a breast cancer survivor, who underwent reconstructive surgery after her double mastectomy. I could SO see her wearing something like this and finding it hysterically funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543391 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:34:09 +0000 chewyspaghetti 543391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reading it, I thought it's a shirt meant for breast cancer survivors who have had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery- no?<br /> If that were the case, I'd wear it proudly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543378 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:24:12 +0000 Jem 543378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bro-in-law was going to get me one, but asked my husband and he said better not. I kindof like it, but couldn't decide if I wanted one or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543372 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:22:37 +0000 HelenInCanada 543372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little levity doesn't hurt - and the profits go to a good cause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poignant-or-dark-humour#post-543370 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:20:40 +0000 ManidipaM 543370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't decide why I like this or where I'd wear it, but I want one: <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/yes_theyre_fake_my_real_ones_tried_to_kill_me_tshirt-235967244701746601" rel="nofollow">http://www.zazzle.com/yes_they.....4701746601</a> </p>
