Wow. I have been somewhat anti-Susan G (as in, just personally deciding not to donate, get caught up in the hoopla, etc) since I saw on here and fb a while back about how they sue other philanthropy events doing "for the cure" activities. But after watching that youtube clip, I *really* want to watch the documentary (and then I'm sure the Susan G damage control piece that will follow) to know even more about the way the money has overtaken the philanthropy. Kind of disgusting, really.

That has been my problem with them, as well. Left a bad taste in my mouth, but I don't bad mouth them to others. This, however, is too much. Putting politics over the well being of low income women is too much for me to stomach.
