Ovarian Cancer Tee Shirt

Ovarian cancer, ovarian affections, abdominal pains, tubes tight up, abnormal vaginal bleeds, sickness, confusion, death, low lifespan, high risks, other pains. Lifetime risks, 40, 000 dead women, painful or non symptomatic apparitions…causes…other risks, food, genetics, other cancers…these are not only terrifying words…these are not only causes, symptoms, effects, conclusions, responses, treats, statistics and social studies…these are messages that a lot of people decide to wear on themselves…on their t-shirts, or other clothing articles…
Americans have their way of inducing the capitalistic view in every aspect of the day to day life. Marketing has it way of transmitting a message, creating an impact. Whether the created impact is a positive or negative one …is up to you.
The main idea of all this media attention is to create an impact…. To create the public awareness is powerful weapon…is a tool that the media uses in order to create a certain chaos in the visual perception of those who take their liberties for granted…never asking themselves where is their lifestyle will lead them…We all know the causes, but try somehow to think that we are invincible and sometimes is hard to believe that such a thing could ever happen to us.
Why not? What is so hard to believe that we are the same…there are the same risks, the same chances of developing it …but only our myopic and self centered perspective can limit an important aspect so much that we even try to avoid it..Well not anymore. Media will open some eyes eventually…
They had numerous attempts to do so, firstly by scaring the female population with terrifying messages posted on various objects mainly in the obstetrics and gynecology medical centers. After this some posters emerged in clubs, discos, libraries, of course in the women bathroom you had tones of brochures and flyers and lots of litigation and ovarian tubes tight up…and so many other forms of delivering a message that although known …easily overlooked.
The T- shirts firstly appeared as an irony to the already existing hand bracelets and hand bandanas with the seriously emphasized message: “Ovarian cancer kills”. The shirts had of course a somehow funny perspective on the same principle that ovarian cancer does kill…but painted in a sarcastic view…never before seen.
Initially the T Shirts were designed for extra large individuals, and in some late post hippy period, they were bought by big fat ugly bikers that galloped the country on their choppers and tired of the previous message on their shirts that said “I am a skinny, educated, hot blonde trapped in this big fat ugly biker’s body”.
Then, even though the shirts with “ovarian cancer kills” or “had an abnormal vaginal bled?” where still designed only for males, the target was altered towards the declared misogynists’…
There weren’t anything fancy but funny none the less…and in a period where more and more women were detected with this affection…the shirts alone exploded on the market and nowadays the marketing part covers both the need for awareness in this medical segment and a sinister joke for all sarcastic individuals.
