In case anyone lives in a cave, the major networks have teamed up in an “historic collaboration” to unite for a TV special this September to raise funds for cancer research. (whatever the hell *that* means)

Yay! It’s the new LIVESTRONG! Or is it? I don’t think so. Why?

Well for starters (and let the negative spin ensue), check out the original article on CBS.com and see for yourself.

They’ve launched this hypercluttered and obsequious national campaign called Stand Up To Cancer which whores out all of the usual celebrity suspects to pit culture against disease. Morgan Freeman, Toby McGuire, Christina Ricci, even Lance himself are all re-posterchildizing themselves to rally the nation around “the end of cancer begins now” like some magic fairy dust disney character will wave a wand and *poof* it will be all gone.

Nom nom nom nom nom.

The best part?

There is not a single pediatric, adolescent or young adult organization listed amongst their partners, resources or beneficiaries!NOT ONE!

Not one.

WTF, man?

How much longer will we be ignored by the establishment?

This all changes now.
