    And the award for best-timed film release goes to … Premiering in Canada today (and the U.S. later this Spring, though they may want to bump that release date up) is a film called “Pink Ribbons, Inc.,” a Canadian film which purports to show the dark side of the Komen for the Cure breast cancer movement. Seriously. It comes out this weekend in Canada. Of all weekends. So, on top of a PR disaster that strongly damaged their brand is a movie whose release has been planned for months that shows the hypocrisy of said brand. Talk about good timing.

    Hey @maggiesox, have you seen this?

    Comes out in Canada this weekend and is apparently the equivalent of throwing a lit match into a pile of gasoline. 

    In case I haven’t made my position ABUNDANTLY CLEAR: Fuck the Komen Foundation, their politicizing of ladyparts, the prioritization of SOME ladyparts over others and the fact that they’re just a brand out to get your money and make you feel good because you’re Doing Something To Help. 

    Donate your money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation instead.
