Facebook Status "I like it on ..."

This is the exact excerpt I got in my inbox yesterday from S.B.-

"Remember the game last year about what color bra you were wearing at the moment? The purpose was to increase awareness of October Breast Cancer Awareness month. It was a tremendous success and we had men wondering for days what was with the colors and it made it to the news. This year's game has to do with your handbag/purse, where we put our handbag the moment we get home for example "I like it on the couch", "I like it on the kitchen counter", "I like it on the dresser" well u get the idea. Just put your answer as your status with nothing more than that and cut n paste this message and forward to all your FB female friends to their inbox. The bra game made it to the news. Let's see how powerful we women really are!!! REMEMBER - DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWER AS A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE- PUT IT IN YOUR STATUS!!! PASS THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! "

I have seen blogs criticizing this saying that its not doing anything for research and its just a game. No, the whole point of this is to create awareness. While it doesn't say on the facebook status it is for breast cancer awareness, it is in the email sent to every friend. This in turn makes them think of is it time to get checked? I think it is a great idea.

I guess this is a spoiler since now instead of wondering why everyone is putting on their facebook status I like it on the couch, or I like it on the kitchen counter and letting imaginations run wild, everyone now knows what the status messages mean. That's OK, it doesn't take away from sharing and creating awareness. I don't know who originated this, but great idea!
