OMG! What's next?! What a poor marketing idea!
I'm with you girls. Considering all the talk about the link to alcohol & beast cancer I find this very tacky. This link (between alcohol & breast cancer) has been a suspicion for many years not just recently. All I can do is just shake my head in disgust. What's next?, putting pictures & stories of lung cancer survivors on a pack of cigarettes for a fund raiser?!!
