Apparently, this actually happened:
WICHITA, Kan. -- Two high school seniors in Kansas must scrap their fundraising project for breast cancer awareness.
They started selling pink T-shirts with two baseballs on them. The text on the shirts read "save second base." The girls thought selling the shirts would be a good way to spread the health message and raise money for research.
The students' school said the sexual innuendo was too suggestive for the classroom.
"I think that if girls can wear shirts that imply sexual messages, they should be able to wear breast cancer shirts. They're trying to do it for a good cause," shirt supporter Cassie Werner said.
All right, Kansas, seriously. What the fuck is the matter with you?
I did some research on this (and by that, I mean I read this), and here's what I found out:
Save 2nd Base is a phrase marketed on t-shirts that benefit the Kelly Rooney Foundation, which -- as you can probably figure out -- benefits breast cancer research. The philosophy of the cause's organizers is, "Breast Cancer is no laughing matter, but since we have lost so many wonderful women (and men) to this disease we decided to fight it with laughter."Wow. I wonder what they would think of some of these:
[The students] started selling pink T-shirts with two baseballs on them. The text on the shirts read "save second base." The girls thought selling the shirts would be a good way to spread the health message and raise money for research.
(see more fun shirts here!)
In conclusion, Kansas is dumb.
