Please do not post this status as a smack in the mouth often offends

There are not enough words in the world - and you know me, I know most of the words and have them round for tea of a Sunday - to express the blind rage that the following arouses in me:

Okay pretty ladies, it's that time of year again...support of Breast Cancer Awareness!! So we all remember last year's game of writing your bra color as your status? Or the way we like to have our handbag handy? Last year, so many people took part that it made national news and the constant updating of status reminded everyone why we're doing this and helped raise awareness!! Do NOT tell any males what the statuses mean...keep them guessing!! And please copy and paste (in a message) this to all your female friends! It's time to confuse the men again (not that it's really that hard to do ;])
The idea is to choose the month you were born and the day you were born. Pass this on to the GIRLS ONLY and lets see how far it reaches around. The last one about the bra went around all over the world. Your status should say:
"I am going to________________for___________ months."
Use your birth month for the place you'll live.
January--Mexico
February-- London
March--Miami
April--Dominican Republic
May--France
June-- St Petersburg
July--Austria
August--Germany
September--New York
October--Amsterdam
November-- Las Vegas
December-- Columbia
Use the day you were born for how many months you will live there.
Write a reply to all...and have fun, ladies!!!"

OMIGOD, SO MUCH WRONG, WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN?

Let's begin with 'twee', 'smug', and 'patronising'. Let's carry on to 'idiotic' and 'peurile', and then let's swing by 'pointless'.

Just for a kick off, when you call me 'ladeez', smile. 'Pretty ladies'? Yeah, I'm saving up an extra special smack for you, whoever you are. Do the words 'go fuck yourself you condescending twerp' mean anything to you?

'Let's confuse the men' - oh, yes, let's, for they are poor, weak-minded beings, easily bewildered and helpless without a Mother's hand to guide them. Every one of them. You too, Einstein.

'Support Breast Cancer Awareness' - yes, let's do that. (I am not entirely sure who, exactly, in this day and age is unaware of breast cancer, but let that pass.) If you will tell me how, exactly, posting this status is supposed to raise breast cancer awareness when it makes no reference to breast cancer or to cancer of any kind, then I will take and crown you Queen of the World and make no argument about it.
