Seriously Komen?? Handguns For The Cure??


image from google

I am pretty speechless writing this post. This is pink washing at its absolute
lowest! I thought I had seen it all with pink tires, pink oil delivery trucks, and the latest perfume debacle I posted about below involving Komen. But alas Komen had hit an all time low with these pink handguns for the cure!

Seriously Komen, please, please tell me this is just a sad joke.

Sure, lets promote violence for the cure! Buy a pink handgun and raise money for breast cancer?

WTF???

and read all about it.

KFC's "Healthy Grilled" Chicken NOT So Healthy. . . What Was Komen Thinking?

The Komen/KFC saga continues. Not only is the whole partnership disgusting to make it more ridiculous new information was just released about KFC's allegedly healthy addition to the menu. . . the grilled chicken. The Physicians Committe For Responsible Medicine(PCRM) recently released results of testing that found "substantial amounts" of a carcinogenic chemical in samples of the KFC grilled chicken. So now on top of the unhealthy greasy fried chicken in the bucket that you can buy to save some boobs is the "healthy grilled" chicken that could cause cancer. And these results are not new, they were released in June '09. So how did Komen miss that one?

And lets do the math. . . 50 cents of the $20 bucket o' fat goes to Komen. That is only 2.5%. As I said in my last post. . . KFC is going to make out a lot better on this deal and may even contribute to the cancer epidemic that Komen has been fighting for years.


Were you surprised to hear about the grilled chicken? What do you think of this next chapter in the KFC/Komen partnership?
