Nipple piercing to raise money for breast care unit?

Totally wrong on all levels.

Mad! Completely mad!

Trouble is, some people seem to think that it doesn't matter how money is raised for charity, so long as it is raised. That's the really mad thing. Makes me sick.

I just don't get it. Bonkers!

NOOOOOOO!!!

Yuk!

So wrong, especially for women I think. No one should muck around with nipples, they are too important.

As the only male so far responding, I think, I believe this to be very wrong. Not a fan of body or face piercing, and this is just a cheap marketing gimmick. I hope nobody is daft enough to take up the offer.

Sick, misguided, mercenary, misleading, cheap, exploitative - I think my feelings are clear?

This mustbe a wind up?

For goodness sake! - as McEnroe would say "You can't be serious!"

Like jeni I honestly thought this must be some sort of headline grabbing wind-up, so I googled it - and sure enough it's true! www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/local/nipple-piercing-to-rack-up-cash-1-3828350
Talk about sending out mixed messages! Here are some of the reasons why nipple piercing is a bad idea.

OH Yuk I hate piercings and tattoos and these 'ideas' smack of publicity seeking rather than a real interest in the charity. Lost count of the people |i have seen with infected sites who then want the NHS to sort them out.

Ditto

Agree with you all. Plus, I've never understood why anyone would want tattoos or piercings. I've been told they are thought attractive! Noooooo!

Every Christmas the BMJ used to publish several lighthearted articles - many years ago they featured photos of body piercings that doctors had seen - well! - what can I say??? There was little chance of breaking patient confidentiality, as there were no faces on view - enough said!!!! Ouch!

Seriously though - definitely an inappropriate means of raising funds.

Oooooooaaaaaaawwwww! Never. It's madness and an irresponsible of raising funds however good the cause.

mishap it came in a see through wrapper and the posties complained!

I can't believe that anyone would sign up for this madness

Barmey! Batty! Bonkers! Hate the very idea.

Gosh, I am not being unreasonable it seems! What universal condemnation!
Think I ought to write to the paper?
