360 doesn't support finding a cure for breast cancer?

For shame, Microsoft. For shame.

This makes me sad. (http://mensnewsdaily.com/glennsacks/2009/08/15/gender-inequality-in-cancer-research-funding-favors-women-6-51/)

Breast cancer research/awareness is a worthy cause. It kills twice as many women as prostate cancer kills men, but gets thirteen times the funding that prostate cancer does. In short, when deaths from each disease are compared, breast cancer gets 6.5:1 in funding for research. That's not right.

It would have been cooler if they had a title update for Madden 10, to make all the players wear their pink accented uniform pieces.

Neat. This is one bandwagon Live does need to jump on.
