'I Heart Boobies' Bracelets Are No Longer Banned



    There was a bit of controversy against the breast cancer fundraising bracelets that proclaimed 'I (heart) boobies!' but the federal judge of Pennsylvania ruled these bracelets are not lewd and vulgar. Thus, they are not banned by public school officials after this ruling.

    Judge Mary McLaughlin said the bracelets could be reasonably viewed as speech designed to raise awareness for breast cancer and to reduce stigma associate with openly discussing breast health.

    Now the schools will not consider the bracelets to be disruptive or vulgar anymore. Earlier, two girls were suspended for defying a ban on wearing the bracelets in their school during the Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

    School management felt that the slogan itself was overtly sexual and had a double meaning. They said because of the bracelet's inappropriate slogan two boys tried to touch girls on their breasts.

    However, with the ruling the victory lies in the hands of speech advocates. It is a lighthearted way to raise awareness of breast health. What better way to reach out to the youth if they could relate with the slogans for such a brilliant cause.

Jennifer Aniston along with Demi Moore is Directing A Lifetime Movie



    Jennifer, along with Patty Jenkins, Alicia Keys, and Demi Moore, is directing a short film for Lifetime network. It’s going to be a 5-part anthology of short films solely devoted to breast cancer. It’s a part of a series called Project Five. Which means all these 5 ladies will be creating & directing individual short films to explore the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives. I think it’s a worthy cause & a commendable attempt on the part of these ladies. However, the fifth woman is not yet decided.

    Here’s Jennifer’s statement about it:

    “Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small,” Aniston, 42, tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. “We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are.”

    Lifetime president Nancy Dubuc said she is thrilled to provide a platform for the group of women.

    "I'm a big fan of this amazing group of powerful and creative women, and we are thrilled to be working with them on 'Project Five'. It's an awesome feeling to be able to give them such a strong platform to do what they do best - entertain and tell great stories - so that we all educate viewers about breast cancer through these five films of courage, love and hope".

    Deemi Moore produced & starred in a similar kind of project which explored the subject of abortion in 1996.
