buckets of illness

on facebook today:

is this a joke?

but seriously?

the Susan B. Komen website says this, "KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® are teaming up this spring to raise funds and spread breast cancer awareness and educational messaging via a major national campaign which will reach thousands of communities served by nearly 5000 KFC restaurants.

Participating KFC franchise locations will be selling specially designed pink buckets of grilled and Original Recipe chicken. KFC has pledged 50 cents to Komen for every pink bucket ordered by its restaurant operators during the promotion period, with a minimum donation of $1 million and a goal to raise more than $8 million. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will be earmarked to Komen’s 120-plus domestic Affiliates for breast cancer programs in their communities. The remainder of the funds will support Komen’s national research and community programs. "

I'm all about fighting breast cancer, but the Susan B. Komen foundation seems to be getting a little crazy with their partnerships---a little bit loosey-goosey in terms of legitimate, relevant and somewhat health-oriented partnerships. The bottom line is that eating at KFC is actually an underlying cause of obesity, heart problems, and yeah--probably breast cancer.

Komen, get a clue! I will personally be avoiding any and all activity with this charity until they get it together.

and that is just too easy to make fun of....yeah no kidding each bucket of disgusting corn-fed, hormone-induced, antibiotic-pumped "chicken" makes a difference...
