SAVE THE BOOBS!

I saw this video a couple of days before posting it now and I don't think it's funny at all.

But while we are joining funds and social movements why don't share this campaign to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I'm not so sure if that kind of viral ad is relevant (sorry boys), but do we really need to be sexists to wake up some attention from a younger audience?
And the point is that if we have to use such mainstreams to get people talking about, so let's do it.

Behind this humourous scenes there is a serious disease, we have to raise money to find a cure to breast cancer.

So boys please, help us save the boobs!
