Most of these "charities" are nothing more than huge money-making machines, with employees under subtle yet constant pressure to make quotas, and only a very small portion of the funds raised going toward actual research. The latest in the company's long string of CEOs came from an even larger corporation and was brought on more because of their business acumen than any connection or background with cancer research.

yah cos your wifey worked for ONE cancer charity, doesn't mean YOU have seen them all
love the generalizations, of course!

I'm not saying that there aren't viable organisations out there, but people should really be a helluva lot more selective when donating funds. People tend to donate because it makes them feel better about themselves, which in and of itself is not a bad thing, but when combined with relative ignorance as to where the money they're shelling out is actually going, it allows organisations like the one I (didn't) mention to continue to flourish, while fringe researchers who aren't focused on money and ego and who tend to make actual progress in their field are left scrounging for change.

I also think this is a pretty dumb idea..don't see how it would make a difference with breast cancer awareness, more like attention whoring...

Did you learn something from the information provided from said rants, or did you just discard all of it in favour of the "good fun" that placates your fragile little ego?

I'm sure you're a very nice and lovely person in real life, but c'mon...



Wakey-wakey, eggs-n-bakey!

To an extent, depends on a person though. Some people are very private, have facebook accounts, and come off pretty humble!

Twitter on the other hand is excessive, IMO.
