As a girl, I get fed up of getting messages telling me to post my status as something like "what fruit are you?" where the fruit relates to a hidden meaning.
Apparently it's to help the fight against breast cancer - how the **** is it going to do that?!
Case in point, a message I had in my inbox today:
Someone proposed that we GIRLS do something special on Facebook to help with Breast Cancer Awareness. It's easy, and I'd like you to join us to help it spread. Last year it was about writing the colour of the bra you were wearing in your Fb status and it left men wondering for days why the girls had random colors as their status. This year it has to do with your relationship status. You will state where you are, by posting one of the codes below. Remember - don't reply to this message just type your 1 word response in your status box on your profile. Then cut and paste this whole message into a new message and send it along to your female friends....
Blueberry: I'm single
Pineapple: It's complicated
Raspberry: I'm a touch and go woman
Apple: Engaged
Cherry: In a relationship
Banana: I'm married
Avocado: I'm the "other one"
Strawberry: Can't find the right one
Lemon: Wish I was single
Grape: Wants to get married
How does it help with AWARENESS when the majority of people don't know what it means?
PS any men whose girlfriends have posted "grape" and they didn't know what it meant, begin breaking out in a cold sweat now...
