Matthew Oliphant is inviting anyone and everyone to turn their Web sites pink during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Nearly 150 sites have done so as of this writing. And by the way, guys can get breast cancer too.

we should do it

I agree, but it won't happen.

Guys can get breast cancer, but they cannot get chicks if they choose to associate themselves with froufy pink things.

(I really don't mean this to sound insensitive about breast cancer. My grandmother died of it. I'm just not seeing a lot of dudes turning their sites pink.)

Its probably the same reason why most guys (yours truly) doesn't wear pink in the first place. Its not viewed as masculine.

because Masculinity is soooo important on the internet
I think thats the exact reason why they chose pink.

If we ask the designer to do a pink version now, we might get it done by October 2039!

Couldn't someone just go into the css and change the light gray parts to websafe light pink?

I gotta say I'd rather see the new forums than pink ones.

We need a mock-up!

Because they want to add a touch of emasculation to the hassle of redoing your Web site?

Next year, I'm going to try to talk everybody into running out into the street and yelling "I'm a pretty princess" to raise awareness of AIDS.
