Not to get too far afield ... but I lost respect for them ages ago because of their complete rejection of breast cancer prevention, their cozy ties with industries that cause and profit from breast cancer, and their est-like emphasis on "awareness."
If there's any silver lining in this, it's that Komen is no longer untouchable. Used to be if you questioned pinkwashing in the slightest, people looked at you like you were in favor of breast cancer. Komen's latest moves may change all that.
