This link (while they ads are technically art, they are probably NSFW) contains some great ads for what I would call putting breast cancer into perspective. The images are reminiscent of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition circa 2004 when they started painting suits (also NSFW) on the models as opposed to having them actually wear them.
Essentially they images are saying who cares about these things (the size of your butt, your hair, or a pimple) when there are so many things worse in life. Be happy with the good things in life and not consumed by those that ultimately don't matter.
One of the commenters of the original post asks the question "Do women like this?" He (I'm assuming) automatically assumes that a) no they don't and b) all those involved must have been men. I'm not sure you can jump to either of those conclusions, but it does beg the question of whether or not the message lost.

I don't really think I can call this an advertisement because I don't know that it will ever be one, but it is creative and the people who created it should consider a career in advertising. This newest video entitled "HP – Hit Print" is a second short film by the same people who submitted a spot for the D&AD Student Awards brief set by HP (below the newest spot).
And here is their first video entitled "HP – Invent". I can't even imagine how much paper and ink these must have used. Good thing HP sponsors them (I'm assuming).
If they aren't advertisements then maybe they are just meant to be viral videos (seems to be achieving at least that) displaying, rather creatively I might add, the things you can accomplish with your HP products. Now I sound like the commercial…
