Throngs of screaming girls do not do it for Josh Groban
I just wrote a bunch more about football, but let's face it. My readers (all ten of them) do not care about football much. So I'll just leave the post it up there. And the title? It's a Glee reference in honor of Josh Groban singing the national anthem. You're welcome.
I love how some of my blog posts come together. Like today's, for example. When I got home, I wasn't sure what I'd be writing about. Now, I most certainly have a topic.
When I came home and pulled up Facebook, I noticed that a couple of my girlfriends had put colors on their status. I was thinking...ooh. It's Put Your Favorite Color On Your Facebook Status Day and I'm totally going to update mine with a fun little movie quote from Steel Magnolias. (My colors are blush and bashful).
Then, I scroll down, and one of my college little brother boys put up 'black with lace' as his status. I felt quite certain at that point that the colors now had something to do with undergarments. I was right.
I'm still putting the pieces together, but apparently there is some message going around Facebook to put your bra color as your status or something. I think it's some sort of forward to show you support breast cancer
awareness or something. Who (besides Sue Sylvester) doesn't support breast cancer awareness? It's some sort of "girls only" thing, and I just think it's stupid.
PandaMom brought up a very good point in her status that she would not be participating because she doesn't think it's right to cause a brother to stumble. I agree wholeheartedly and do not like this one single bit.
Allow me to tell you why.
I have roughly 315 friends on Facebook.
Of those 315, 85 are men.
37 are married men.
20 are under aged 25.
Most importantly...17 are under age 18.
I do not want any of those boys to know what color my undergarments are. I do not want to discuss undergarments (mine or otherwise) with any of these men/boys, as I'm sure their wives or parents don't want me to either. I do not want to do one single thing to make them think about underwear. Because they will think about mine, and then they will think about those of the next person they see, and then they will think about some supermodel's underwear, and then they're gone...slippery slope.
While people may argue that by putting up a color doesn't lead to the conclusion that it's the color of undergarment, when many people do it "just for fun" and include things like 'red lace', they connect the dots.
I did.

OMG! I was wondering about that. I'm not on it enough to figure thatq stuff out. Thanks for clarifying! Also, are you my friend on FB? I think not...you better find me. I tried finding you, but your name is kind of common. :-)
