Blame Drew's Cancer

Now we know what's to blame for everything that's wrong in the universe. I read this article yesterday on the way to softball about a Philly native named Drew Olanoff who was diagnosed with cancer:
As he proceeded from concern to diagnosis to treatment, Olanoff began blaming his cancer for things. If cancer was responsible for the lump on his neck, he figured, why shouldn't it be to blame for the Phillies losing a game?

Soon, his cancer was responsible for his computer's slow response time and getting him stuck in traffic. Olanoff let his cancer take the fall for anything that ticked him off. Then, he did what came naturally. On June 3, he launched blamedrewscancer.com.
They've now partnered with Lance Armstrong's LIVESTRONG foundation to raise funds. You can go to the site and click on a link that allows you to blame Drew's cancer for anything you want via Twitter. There's also a Facebook page. It's a unique and clever response and I think it deserves support. It'll definitely get a Tweet from me.
