There have been several threads on the growing backlash to the pink campaign. More evidence here. Comments to the article are interesting, too.

“The Beautiful Truth”.
I donate nothing to cancer research or cancer organizations. I do not consider them my friend. Sure, the rank and file are “useful idiots”, so I don’t blame them. They mean well, as do many liberals...
I have Prostate Cancer and have seen the money from donations dry up in large part because of the PINK Mafia! The standard company answer is: We already gave to the Pink Mafia, so we can’t help you. BC is down the list of killer-cancers, but if you dare say anything against the Pink mafia you will risk be labeled something on the same line as a “racist.”
I actually avoid “pink” products.
I will start taking the interest in breast cancer seriously when somebody does a study with women who have NEVER taken birth control pills as the control group.
Personally I refuse to buy any product that has been pinked.
Every year some yogurt company says they’ll donate 10 cents for every yogurt top customers send in. Excuse me, but that is the dumbest idea I’ve heard all week. If they wanted to donate, then donate freely without making the customer send in their garbage. And garbage it is - nasty rotted yogurt encrusted tops that customers have licked on. Besides, how much extra expense is being used to truck garbage across the country? The customer has to put on a 44 cent stamp and lets say another 5 cents for the envelope (or however much envelopes cost), then there’s the return label and whatever time is involved and I’m not even going to talk about how un-green the process of mailing is. Bottom line, at the very least, that’s 50 cents on the customer’s part (plus the cost of buying the “pat yourself on the back for doing a good deed” yogurt) to the company’s 10 cent donation. Ok, so stuff the envelope with several tops but then how many until you have to add another 44 cent stamp? It’s just plain ridiculous!
Ok, I made the effort to search out the name and wouldn’t you know it, it’s Yoplait. Yep, that French company that I’m still boycotting so this is just one more reason to continue to boycott them.
Never cared for pinkos. Still don’t.
Here is a website of the different color awareness ribbons.

While I am for fighting breast cancer, I am for fighting all forms of cancer as well. This pink stuff sure looks like it is getting out of hand here.
Oh yeah, this is the most lucrative marketing racket I think I’ve seen, EVER! I am speaking out at the cash register, when the ULTA girls are required to ask “do you want to give a dollar to fight cancer?” I would rather give two dollars to shutting Komen down and saving aborted babies, a bloody procedure which Komen approves and supports with your “cancer” money. Blech.
Ever since the connections between Komen and Planned Barrenhood were revealed, I have refused to give to any of these campaigns.
I couldn’t figure out what that pink crap on the NFL players was. At first I thought it was blood. It should have been blood, better than forcing them to wear pink.
What a farce.
Get all the unfermented Soy out of the food supply.

The only thing I’m pro-pink about is fleshy and well lubricated.
