Breast cancer charity refuses donation money from porn site.

I guess that tells you where their priorities really are.

It'd be fantastic if they said, "Since they're not accepting our donations we're going to give it to the prostate cancer research people instead." If they did this and someone else took the money, holy shit they'd look stupid AND it'd highlight whatever other cause they used to do it with.

Welp, even Jezebel calls them out on this bullshit. Unsurprisingly, the comments are full of morons who view porn as a bad thing.

"We are not a partner, not accepting donations, and have asked them to stop using our name."

Whelp, guys, SBK isn't accepting donations. Start spreading the word to all your friends, relatives, and sponsors that they need to find a new charity to donate to.

The Lung Cancer Alliance could use some help, for example.

Boobs sad.

I think we all saw this one coming. An adult entertainment site tries to put money toward a decent cause, and it's turned down because of its origins. And yet, these same types of organizations wouldn't hesitate to take a donation from, say, James Cameron, who depicts naked women in his films every now and then. But hey, I'm just a stupid, angry white man.

Maybe the breast cancer group got ripped off by the porn site at one time and did not get to finish downloading the MPG, "burping love worms on bubble breasted babes part 53"

I'll take porn over breast cancer any day of the month!

Because only attractive 20 to 30 year old women get cancer.

Sarcasm by the way, if I didn't type it well.

Is there some way to report them to the Charity Commission, or some similar body, for investigation on the grounds that they aren't serving the purpose the charity was set up for, and is registered as a charity for?

I've heard it suggested that the Guardian newspaper ought to be sued for being insufficiently liberal, as it was explicitly set up as a trust to continue publishing a liberal paper. Well, a charity is a legally regulated body meqant to work for a certain goal, and this charity isn't mean to stop porn being used.

How come you never hear anything good about susan g komen and her cure?

I may be in the minority here but I don't see an issue with them refusing the money. From what I understand, many of those working for such charities around breast cancer are tired of the sexualisation of the breast in this context. So fair enough I guess.

Quite frankly I think breast cancer has a dominate position in cancer awareness and research funds and much more than any other disease short of the common cold. If anything, considering regular ejaculation promotes good health of the prostate, and the manner in which this money was raised, prostate cancer research could use a hand.

Fuck Komen! They are just money whores who don't really do much for cancer research anyways. Donate that money to the American Cancer Society!

damnfooldamn · 2012-10-09T17:46:21+00:00

Kinda gross, reminds me of that "save the tatas" or whatever thing where breast cancer isn't a bad thing because it threatens people's lives, it's a bad thing because boobs will fall off women and nooooooo!

Regardless, hopefully they find another charity to donate the money to.

Is this Seth Rogans long lost twin? Comparison

This actually makes a lot of sense. Why would they accept money to help protect women and their bodies from an organization that absolutely does not have women's best interest in mind? This is simply an attempt to make pornography seem more female friendly, which it is not, has never been, and probably never will be. It's actually pretty Insulting that they would even try to use this gimmick of self promotion to "support" breast cancer awareness and research. I think sometimes that you have to refuse "help" from the wrong places to make people take your cause seriously.
