Ok, so Susan G. Komen for the Cure… wtf? You’re really teaming up with KFC to raise money for breast cancer? REALLY?? Well, here’s what I have to say about how wrong that is…. actually Stephen Colbert says it better (It’s about 1 min. 30 seconds in):

I wasn’t at all surprised. It’s well-known that the Susan G. Komen org is involved in large scale pinkwashing and takes money from numerous organizations whose products increase the risk of breast cancer (e.g. cosmetics, junk food). Obviously, the funds don’t end up in cancer prevention, because that wouldn’t be in the companies’ interest. Personally I’d rather throw money down the toilet than donate to them!
Breast cancer is a good brand and massive business – a very shady business. Who benefits the most from it? Companies.
