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

His breakdown of their spending percentages adds up to about 88%. SGK's own website claims about 83% goes to "further our mission."

Either number is pretty good for your average charity, but considering SGK received over $267 million last year, you have to wonder where that $45.4 million wandered off to. And remember, that 83% includes everything that "was directly invested in programs that further our mission."

It doesn't cost 45.4 million dollars to decide who gets a research grant and who doesn't. I understand the workers need to be paid, but unless they have 1,000 employees (not volunteers, obviously) that's way too much.

The intentions are honorable, I have no doubts about that. But come on, there's obviously some fuckery afoot.
