Fuck Susan G. Komen and the pink ribbons. From here out I see a pink ribbon and I associate it with the destroyers of America, the Koch Brothers.

The recent scrutiny of Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s uneasy relationship with Planned Parenthood revealed the risks any nonprofit faces in deciding where to spend its money so its mission doesn’t appear compromised.
Charities also must answer a related question: Whose money is good enough to take?
Dallas-based Komen, the prime force in making a cure for breast cancer a national crusade, raises money from its well-known footraces but also gets money from product tie-ins with dozens of corporations.
In most cases, Komen’s trademarked pink ribbon appears on household and consumer products.
One of Komen’s biggest sponsors, paper and plywood maker Georgia-Pacific, has donated about $4.5 million to Komen since 2004. Georgia-Pacific’s Quilted Northern bathroom tissue and Vanity Fair paper napkins carry the famous Komen logo, and the company is a member of Komen’s honorary Million Dollar Council, denoting the top donors.
Cancer chemicals
But Georgia-Pacific’s involvement in cancer and health doesn’t end with Komen, illustrating an often-found complication in the calculus of charity, not only for Komen but for others nationwide.
The Atlanta-based company, owned since 2005 by Koch Industries of Wichita, Kan., emits chemicals known to cause cancer in people.
