who knew we'd see a marketing clusterf--- bigger than the Netflix debacle so soon.

And this has some nice results. like a nice big pushback on the insane culture war witchhunt.

Don't tell me you missed the Susan G. Komen foundation taking their brand, pooping on it and then setting it on fire? Just for trying to stick it to Planned Parenthood.

She could have easily told Planned Parenthood and that crook Barbara Boxer to go F themselves. The fact she even acknowledged them gave them power. "Sorry, we are sticking to cancer research"...Done.

Well i'm sorry you're an idiot on this topic AT.

Planned Parenthood is a healthcare provider for low-income areas. Their work is important.

That would have actually required thinking up a good reason to defund hundreds of other organizations. which would have been a whole new shitstorm. But nice try Bowlartz.

They've apologized and they're sending funds again. Since it is a charity, has taken these actions, and will continue doing good work, I'm forgetting the whole thing.

The backlash at Komen was surprising, but heartening. None of this had anything to do with abortion. It's women's health!

Institutions that receive government funding shouldn't provide abortions.

If you think their work is important, then split them up into two separate organizations.
