In case you missed it: Last Sunday The New York Times had a thoughtful examination of the pros and cons of the pinking of America-the Susan G. Komen foundation's marketing of breast cancer awareness and its work raising funds for breast cancer research. NPR took a look at the anti-pink backlash. So I thought it might be a good time to remind everyone of my favorite piece of all time on the pinkness, though, is Barbara Ehrenreich's "Welcome to Cancerland," which she has since updated with the sharp-tongued "The Pink-Ribbon Breast Cancer Cult."
