A whiskey shot drinking contest for breast cancer?

Let’s cure breast cancer with an event that encourages drinking shots of whiskey? Apparently Lansing has voted and breasts outrank livers in the bodypart poll. We must be making the choice to support this event based on our eyes finding breasts more visually appealing than livers.

5:30 p.m. April 15 UPDATE

The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitor’s Bureau took their link down to this event and removed it from their calendar after my friend Anna called them on it. (see comments)

ORIGINAL POST:

(Pardon this brief break from posts about yoga to make this important announcement)

Are you F-ing kidding me? I know I vowed off the F word but this might warrant a couple of bombs.

How much sense does this make? Claddagh Irish Pub in Lansing is sponsoring “A shot for breast cancer” this Sunday.  How asinine is it to have a benefit for breast cancer by trying to break the world record for “the most consecutive shots” drank in one night of Jameson Whiskey? Whether it’s the most consecutive  shots drank by a group or a contest counting the total number of shots people can repeatedly knock back doesn’t matter to me. I’m revolted by the whole concept.

  4. I complained to the GLVCB and they responded quickly. I also complained to Claddaugh via their email.

    Subject: fundraising event concern

    Dear Ms. Kaschner,

    Thank you for contacting the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau regarding your concern. Mr. Hladki is out of the office today, and asked me to respond to you regarding the matter of the fundraising event at one of our member establishments which you found to be in poor taste. I looked into it and did, in fact, see it under the calendar of events on our website. We will alert the member business hosting the event to your concern and have taken the event off our calendar. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. Thanks and have a great day.
