Komen group rejects porn site's breast cancer donations

USATODAY

A pornography website is looking for a new recipient for donations to fight breast cancer after its offer was soundly rejected by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, NBC News reports.

Pornhub.com, an adult entertainment site, has said it would donate 1 cent for every 30 views of selected videos on its site during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, according to NBC.

But the Dallas-based Komen organization, organizer of Race for the Cure 5K runs across the country, said it wanted no part of the campaign, NBC reports.

"We are not a partner, not accepting donations, and have asked them to stop using our name," NBC quoted the foundation as saying.

Meantime, Pornhub.com says it is now looking for a new recipient for what it classifies as a "significant" amount of money, NBC reports.

"As such, Pornhub.com is now calling on all breast cancer foundations to come forward and be considered as the recipient of this cash donation," the company told NBC.
