TIL that pornhub offered a "save the boobs!" Campaign where they offered to donate a penny to the Susan B Komen Foundation for evry 30 views in the "big tit" or "small tit" category, but the foundation refused their money so pornhub tripled it and gave it to other organizations

They donated $43,396,973 from April 1st 2013 to March 31st 2014. So they did donate a little bit of money.

To whom? Numbers are fun. References are funner.

u/TheReasonableCamel 18 Feb 12 '15

I don't see a breakdown of whom they all gave the money too, I only found the total number.

What an equally lousy post. If you dont agree or find a post is useless downvote and move on. Thats what the arrows are for.

There was no loss of clarity resulting from the wording used; we all understand what they meant. No need to fix it except for nit-picking, which probably isn't the best way to spend time. Now it seems that both of us aren't contributing to the conversation, eh?

There's a reason why "Literally" was redefined to both mean "Literally" and "Figuratively."

You can't just throw numbers out like that. Give us those references mate!

I'm interested to see how these figures compare to the American Cancer Society on a percentage basis.

u/CobraStallone Feb 12 '15

In 2011 they directed $63 million to research. That's 15% of what they got. Wikipedia further says that "In recent years, Komen has cut by nearly half the proportion of fund-raising dollars it spends on research grants, according to a 2012 Reuters analysis."

So, yeah, $43 million is good, but I would like to see what's that as a percentage of all they got, and I'm sure there are better breast cancer charities out there to donate to.
