If you visit my site, and chances are if you’re reading this you are there now, then you may notice a change, that change being well, pink.

If you notice this change you might ask yourself, Robert, have your lost your mind? The answer is no, it’s part of Pink for October‘s initiative to spread breast cancer awareness.

I am just upset it took me until the middle of the month to get around to doing it to my site, but at least my recent site refresh made this look super easy to get it done.

But shame for doing this, and while I agree with “legal authorities” that VZW is well within its rights in doing this, it doesn’t mean that it is right.  If this was a program where text messages went to all customers on a mandatory basis then blocking it entirely would be appropriate.

Instead however you decided to duct tape the mouth of a group who simply wanted to communicate with like minded people, not convert those who disagreed.  Shame.  When there was so many good and valid reasons to accept this, you chose the cowards way out to avoid controversy, well you let this customer down.

Denying this program is something I just don’t understand, at all.
