Drill for the cure

An oil company finds a creative way to participate in Breast Cancer Awareness.

October is, as you may know if you watched an NFL game in the past weekend, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Pink whistles, pink cleats — pink everything, practically, makes an appearance in support of the cause.

Also, which we saw in Salon today, courtesy of the oilfield services company Baker Hughes, one-thousand pink drill bits.

Which is great, I guess, but doesn’t the pink get scraped off when the drills start drilling?

And, aren’t there all kinds of carcinogens in oil?
