At first I thought you were referring to the colour. Then I realised you were talking about the artist.

I don't think your link is working properly because it seems to take me to some other article that has nothing to do with Pink.

I thought it would be the artist. After all she has some credentials for this particular position. The colour simply strikes me as odd, as it is easily associated with the "weaker" gender, and therefore not that suited for such campaigns.

But D00k is right. The link refers to a totally unrelated story. Possibly, because it is the topstory, and the link goes to whatever the topstory is. I think Luba needs to find the original article, with a less ambigious reference to it.

I think it's a Pink Ribbon that is for breast cancer here in Canada.

...back to topic:

I do think it's a good thing their giving bullying the attention it deserves, not only is it a problem but it's an old problem. In these more sensitive times we need a bit more help understanding this type of behavior. My only hope is we don't create ways of making people not deal with issues for themselves because we're already desensitized enough. Part of the reason many choose not to bully is because they know from experience what being bullied is like.

What happens when we eventually all forget what bullying did to us, do we all become bullies as a result?
