So it would be okay if SoSH had a Jimmy Fund fundraiser, raised $50K, and Nip decided to pocket $45K of it because "$5K is a lot more than zero"?
The article has the number at around 11%edmunddantes said:I thought somebody did this before, and it was something like 10% of all the Pink Merchandise revenue went to charity.
It would be different if the NFL said all Pink merchandise revenue went to cancer research. It doesn't. Even if it was 50% maybe a good argument.
I just remember it ended up being some ridiculously low number and it may have even been single digits.

Oh, and just a reminder that there's no evidence that mammograms actually really save lives.
I don't believe that the Susan G. Komen organization wants a cure for breast cancer. Breast cancer is making them way too much fucking money.
Well that all depends on what he was going to do with the $45K, right?mt8thsw9th said:
