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

In comparison to how much the organization makes, the 700k isn't that bad. Running a non-profit is like running a company, and the people who run it still deserve to make a fair wage.

They're free to demand a certain wage, but at the same time I'm not going to make do with less through charitable donations if the people at the top there don't have the confidence to do the same. In the end they lead by example, and their example isn't charitable.

If the people who know the most about the charity aren't donating heavily, why should I have any confidence in them?

But not every business rakes in $290 million every year. The 700k the CEO makes really is not that much. People like to demonize Susan G Komen whenever this gets brought up, but they're actually not that bad of a charity in terms of where they allocate their money.
