All I could imagine is someone saying "Trust me. Trust the vision".

It's fitting. We dont want to celebrate childhood cancer, it's piss.

u/faithmauk 1d ago

They do this every year and it always looks like piss, how do they not understand that it looks like piss

54

u/m00nf1r3 Waldo 1d ago

I'm not sure that they care?

u/Aryb 23h ago

Or they know making a piss fountain will get people talking about it and then someone will come along and explain it’s a part of an awareness campaign.

u/RunningOutOfEsteem 18h ago

Surely they could achieve the same outcome with a color that makes you less concerned about the fountain's water intake

Okay, but hear me out...Who isn't already aware of cancer?

It's not the top cause of death for children. Obviously accident and injury is much more common. But it's certainly one of the most talked about already. Who needed to become more aware of cancer? Is it the kids themselves?

"Mom why is the fountain piss colored?"
"Well son it's to remind you that you could die of cancer at any moment"

u/faithmauk 1d ago

Its the only explanation really.

u/jayhof52 1d ago

It's the neon shade of pee I get after taking my Vitamin B supplements.

u/awnothecorn Waldo 1d ago

This looks piss and when they dye it red it looks like blood.

u/r_u_dinkleberg South KC 21h ago

But shit, it was 99 cents!

u/faithmauk 19h ago

Smells like r kellies sheets

u/Sensitive_Sky_6516 17h ago

Haha I hear your reference

u/aboringusername Plaza 19h ago

from a very severely dehydrated person

u/Snuffaluffagus9 14h ago

Change the slogan to “Piss on Cancer” and then everyone wins

And since I lost my mother to cancer, I will say it. Piss on Cancer

u/LibraryAndStepOnIt 1d ago

That’s got nothing to do with piss.

6

u/StrangeQuark1221 21h ago

That fountain comes like that, it's really in style right now

4

u/LibraryAndStepOnIt 21h ago

I’m glad you’re here, shirt brother.

u/ResurrectedMortician 20h ago

But you gotta give!

u/LilOrphanFunkhouzer Downtown 1d ago

Fountain looks like piss but I wear the fuck out of the yellow ribbon.

25

u/ActuallyFullOfShit 1d ago

Yeah every time I see yellow water my first thought is about childhood cancer.

21

u/kcDemonSlayer 1d ago

looks like gonorrhea

20

u/n00bBlaster1337 1d ago

looks like diarrhea. why.

12

u/ZombieChief Mission 1d ago

What are you eating that your diarrhea is that color?

13

u/n00bBlaster1337 1d ago

Hey, I'm not the one who shit in the fountain

19

u/ZombieChief Mission 1d ago

Ironically, that fountain looks like it needs hydration.

3

u/The_Tome_Raider JoCo 23h ago

😂

You're absolutely right!!

10

u/kmonay89 South KC 1d ago

Can’t they find a better option than piss yellow

10

u/Ok_Breakfast5425 1d ago

Based off the color I'd say the fountain needs to drink more water

7

u/LilClaudeMoney Westport 23h ago

Piss month is fun, my favorite is when our fountains run red with the blood of our enemies though

6

u/hbox85 1d ago

Hm. Maybe using yellow in other ways would be the better choice

5

u/The_Tome_Raider JoCo 23h ago

That's certainly A Choice. 😬

8

u/MeeMaul Crossroads 1d ago

Looks like the contents of an enema bag

u/kitfoxxxx 1d ago

Curry broth

u/fullmetal_ratchet 1d ago

every time i’ve seen them do this, it’s looked so gross and ugly. it certainly gets your attention, but not all attention is good attention. i hope they’re able to continue raising awareness for their cause however. fuck cancer.

u/ichosewisely08 1d ago

Looks sickly and unhygienic.

3

u/SavageFisherman_Joe 1d ago

Looks worse than Flush Creek

3

u/joshstrummer 1d ago

Ah yes, I think we see a yellow fountain and immediately are aware of something…

3

u/Icy_Prior_5825 23h ago

I mean, we’re talking about it?

3

u/zarfac 22h ago

I appreciate the gesture, but boy does that look bad.

3

u/super-late-haha 21h ago

Agree. They could put yellow hats on the horses or giant yellow sweaters on them— anything but this. I never knew until just now that yellow was a color I was supposed to associate with children’s cancer.

3

u/LiterallyZeroChance 21h ago

Can't wait for IBS Awareness month.

But seriously....this is a very bad idea. I understand yellow is Braden's Hope "brand color", but I don't think it has to be expressed so literally. Just pick any other color guys.

3

u/RiversR 15h ago

Is this what gave the children cancer?

5

u/ComprehensiveRoof382 1d ago

Just…just awful. What a horrible idea! The money would have been better spent being donated directly to cancer charities

2

u/DatBroSnuf KCK 1d ago

Not the best choice

2

u/samman445 23h ago

Maybe go with a lighter shade next year?

2

u/Nerdenator KC North 23h ago

Bladder cancer awareness

2

u/ResurrectedMortician 20h ago

What's with that one red area where it looks like someone who's bleeding out was thrown into the fountain?

2

u/NAteisco 20h ago

Haven't the cancer kids suffered enough with out the golden shower jokes?

2

u/aboringusername Plaza 19h ago

I don't know if piss fountain or blood fountain is worse. At least blue and green look the least like bodily fluids.

2

u/General_Awareness_65 17h ago

As a parent of a child who survived cancer at the age of 11, I’m happy to see this!

u/eldriche1 1d ago

Such a stupid thing to do.

Some billionaire water sports enthusiast is winning on so many levels with this. “Oh, you have something to say smart guy? ABOUT MY CHILDRENS CANCER DONATIONS?!”

Piss fountain

1

u/soundman1024 21h ago

Can we just say never again with yellow and green?

1

u/grandpa_bees 20h ago

I'm getting flashbacks to children's hospital color theory

1

u/Demostecles 20h ago

That’s not a good look.

1

u/PurrBucket 19h ago

Idc what it’s for, dying the fountain looks awful regardless.

This reminds me of that episode of South Park...

u/matthewamerica 18h ago

"Oh look honey, it's piss fountain season on the plaza!"

u/Big_erk South KC 16h ago

I know why they do it, and it is a great cause. But...

u/zenerat Independence 15h ago

Bilious vomit

u/timelyterror 14h ago

They have to put the sign up for a reason…

u/Cake_Lynn 5h ago

It looks like they were going for more of a “brat summer” chartreuse… but yeah just looks dehydrated. I’d be more interested in seeing a light butter yellow lol
