Disgraceful. I watched it four times to be sure I was properly outraged.

I was totally outraged
The camera was facing the wrong way

On a serious note I'm sorry either I missed the point or it was a very poor advert, I don't see how a woman walking around with her blouse slightly undone is going to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Well I guess,
even if it reminds one more woman to do her breast check it's a good thing.
The thread title is inaccurate of course.,those breasts are certainly not 'hanging out' by any measure.
They hang out a bit more when babies are being breastfed (which incidently, is very good for breast health) and people look at that too.
But apparently some people are offended by women feeding their kids in public.. Now that is a weird thing to get incensed by.
That people look at breasts is hardly a massive revelation is it?
People also look at legs, hairdos, trees, small dogs, cakes in shop windows, flocks of pigeons, and all manner of other things too.
But heigh-ho, some good may come of it I guess.
Not forgetting of course, that guys can also suffer this disease, so it's worth them checking too.

True, but what is it about that video that would achieve it? It may just be subliminal but far too subliminal for me

Well we're, talking about it.
Of course it's just click bait really, but like I said if just one more person in the world checks themselves then something has been achieved.
Sure many of us on here have lost someone to this disease.
In truth it's pretty well publicised nowadays, it's all the other screenings that need a better uptake too.
How do we get better publicity on them??
It doesn't really seem to be too difficult to get people thinking about breasts
it's the other slightly less 'on show' parts that we need to be considering maybe??

Hello decadence
I'm all for this type of approach if it raises awareness. I have lost a number of dear friends to breast cancer and my partner has had it too - although thanks to the development of new chemo approaches, is now disease free. Early detection and diagnosis is key in many cases. Let's hope this video clip saves someone's life.

Well hurrah for that bit of good medical news.
And our wonderful health services.
I lost my mother to it (still in her prime)
Just over two years back.
Slightly too late for her to benefit from the latest breakthroughs in treatment.

Hello decadence
Yes, thank goodness for Herceptin - in the past HER2+ had a very poor prognosis.....now the 5 year survival rate (if caught early) is close to 99%. It is a good news story and the health services were wonderful.

Hello decadence
I'm sorry about your mum. It must have been a difficult time for you.

Thanks, yes of course it was.
But she did receive really good care, and was pragmatic about having been lucky enough to have lived a full, and useful life, before her untimely end.
Her influence lives on.
