I was in Panera a few days back and there was a giant sign that said “Panera supports breast cancer.” It had a big pink ribbon on it. I thought it was really odd that a restaurant would take a stance in favor of such a terrible disease, but apparently a lot of other people felt the same because there were dozens of signatures from patrons on it.

If I had to promote a disease, I’d want one that helps society. Maybe AIDS. It’s at least trying to wipe out poverty in Africa, though not in the same way as our celebrities. My second choice would be syphilis. I don’t even know what that one does, but the name sounds funny. Syphilis. That sounds like a disease I could get behind.

Mad cow disease has killed some serious French people in the last few years, so it would probably be the most patriotic disease. Maybe they should have a big sign that looks like an American flag with the words “Panera Supports Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.” I bet lots of people would sign that while waiting for their You-Pick-Two.

What disease do you like best?
