While passing through Tate Plaza today at the University of Georgia I noticed a booth selling t shirts for Relay for Life. I went over to get one since I'll be walking for my 2 aunts and was HORRIFIED to see that the shirt literally said "Can You Keep it Up All Night"?

Last semester when they had pin the nipple on the boob for breast cancer, I was miffed. Now I'm pissed. Why do we sexualize everything? Why do we feel that to raise money for cancer we need to make it funny, a gimmick? The Relay for Life Committee at UGA has very poor taste in what is appropriate.

There are a LOT of people who find it easier to deal with serious issues by adding a bit of levity.

Now, not everybody has the same sense of humor, so sometimes that falls flat.

But I'm sure their intentions were good.

I liked this video because it gives a very human look at sex work. I was a bit disturbed that the spin was not that there is an emerging sex industry, but that there are MALE sex workers. How shocking!The last line was quite disturbing. I think the journalist missed the story by bedroom furniture not asking what he meant by "I have no choice but to do it."
