Levi's Plaza Fountain Dyed Blood Red to Honor Breast Cancer Awareness
Oh wow.
Ew.
SFist reader KatyG came across this ghoulish site. The fountains over at Levi's Plaza proper were dyed in honor of breast cancer awareness. But the outcome came out sanguine, not the light, rosy hue typically associated with cancer of the mammary glands.
KatyG tells us that there were sandwich board signs advertising cancer awareness, along with a trailer set up at Union and Front. She goes on to opine, "Very creepy and did not make me think of breast cancer at all. Instead I thought of that line from Conan the Barbarian, "Infidel Defilers. They shall all drown in lakes of blood."
Seriously.
This reminds us of when USF pranksters would to the fountain red outside the Blood Centers of the Pacific over on Mason. In an effort to curb the red water from springing up, BCP now dyes the water a vibrant blue, which turns the water a witless purple when touched with the red dye. (Why they don't just keep it red all of the time is beyond us, because that would be AWESOME.)
Excuse us. All the blood talk is making us lightheaded. We need to go pass out.
