"We are dismayed and extremely disappointed that actions we have taken to strengthen our granting process have been widely mischaracterized," some liar actually wrote in a press release. The supposed reason Komen is pulling the funding is a fictional clause that triggers when an organization is the subject of a congressional investigation. A fictional investigation.

Planned Parenthood is currently being investigated by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), who is an avowed pro-life congressman with no actual evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Planned Parenthood.

Since Komen is cutting ties to any organization "currently under a local, state or federal formal investigation for financial or administrative impropriety or fraud" they might want to have a look at Bank of America, which has contributed millions of dollars to Komen in exchange for letting them stick their pink ribbon bullshit on credit cards. Bank of America is currently under investigation in New York, Arizona, California and Nevada for foreclosure and mortgage fraud.

Don't expect Komen to act quickly to sever ties with anybody else. They generate a huge portion of their revenue every year from corporate partnerships. The process is commonly called "pinkwashing" and refers to companies donating a tiny percentage of profits and in exchange slapping the Komen pink ribbon on their products and receiving positive publicity. Komen has basically no dumpster they won't dive into on this front.

Turns out "not at all" is also one of the chief beneficiaries of the money Susan G. Komen raises. The percentage of revenue Komen sinks into cancer research - remember this is by design "For the Cure" - has declined for the past decade, from 26% annually to 19%.

lol at Best Buy all the employees were wearing pink polo shirts. i asked one of the guys why did BB change their uniform colors because no dude should be forced to wear pink. he plainfaced me and said its to support the fight against cancer. (which btw is a bigger fraud than the war against drugs).

After learning that they support Planned Parenthood, I will no longer support them. I must have been naive to think they simply funded cancer research.

Sounds to me that lately they're more interested in funding themselves than cancer research.

Don't they give grants to Planned Parenthood to fund free mammograms for the poor or something?

F*cking Mother F*ckers!
