So October is breast cancer awareness month, and all publicity is good publicity, especially when it comes to stuff as universally shit as cancer. We all hate cancer, we all hate breast cancer, and we all need to be way more vigilant about checking our boobs. That doesn’t, however, mean that some adverts don’t totally miss the point in their attempts to grab our attention.
We trawled the internet making sighing noises and confused faces to find the weirdest and, dare we say, worst adverts geared towards making you check your boobs for lumps. But, please hear us loud and clear: adverts for breast cancer are a good thing. All adverts. These ones are just a bit odd.

1 of 8Henry Golding Wants To Check Your Breasts For You
What? No, Henry Golding. Get off our boobs. Surely the point of these campaigns is to encourage women to check their breasts, rather than making Henry Golding out to be a right pervy creep?
2 of 8Pornhub Wants To Save Boobs
Er, Pornhub. That's all, really. Because, as we all know, breast cancer mainly affects men who like porn.
3 of 8Charity Boob Fondling
Alright so this admittedly wasn't for breast cancer (it was for AIDS), but deserves a mention because people could fondle porn stars' boobs in return for donations to STOP!AIDS. I mean, seriously.
4 of 8Sexy Woman Gets Naked
This French campaign just looks like an excuse to get an attractive woman to take her top off. It's essentially just 'Oooh look at these boobs' with a charity stamp at the end. And we don't feel that cool about it, tbh.
5 of 8Aww My Balloon's Popped!
There's nothing wrong with this ad by PENCIL from Kuwait, but it feels a bit... trivial. Like losing a boob is as disappointing as one of your balloons popping. Which it isn't. No, not even if you're three years old.
6 of 8Because, Again, Breast Cancer Is All About The Men
Nothing like a breast cancer awareness campaign that features only men, eh? Saudi Arabia, shame on you.
7 of 8Yeah, We Get It! Women Have Nothing To Do With Breast Cancer! WE GET IT!
From a Chilean agency, this campaign is called 'Por Amor a las Tetas' (translation: for the love of boobs), which just about sums it up. The video essentially shows loads of supersexy boobies in a bid to scare men into donating for charity lest cancer take them away. Tasteful.
8 of 8A Mousemat That Doubles As A Pair Of Tits
Because this mousemat created to remind women to feel their breasts won't be bought (and spaffed on) by pervy teenagers at all, will it? Less raising awareness, more... gross.
