Porn+Charity

If there was ever a good time to clear up any leftover misconceptions about the word "ironic," this is it. As in: is it ironic that PornHub.com is offering to pay one cent for every 30 unique page views on its "small tits" and "big tits" videos this month to charity?

The answer is no. It's just a nice way to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month while at the same time encouraging you to watch more pornography.
BUT:

Is it ironic that the money from said porn site will be going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, whose founder Nancy Brinker tried earlier this year to stop her organization from giving money to Planned Parenthood because of anti-abortion pressure from GOP donors and the Catholic Church? A group whose ex-VP, former Georgia Secretary of State Nancy Handel, is so conservative that she makes Karl Rove look moderate?

Yes and no. It could be an example of irony, because you would expect a site that traffics in pornography to not donate to a charity being led by women affiliated with organizations that do not support contraceptives, abortions, free health clinics or, in the case of Ms. Handel, gay people.

But Ms. Brinker and Ms. Handel were disgraced right out of their jobs: Ms. Brinker is still the founder and has a management role at Komen's, but no longer makes an obscene amount of money as the nonprofit's CEO, while Ms. Handel is still trying to win this PR battle with a new book, Planned Bullyhood.

So go ahead and join PornHub as it spreads the word about whacking off to a good cause:

The Save the Boobs web page will keep track of the total unique visits for the month so be sure to encourage your red-blooded friends and family (yes, tell your fathers too) to become a hero of the headlamps and a champion of the cha-cha’s! While on the page you can also tweet the link to your social circles.

Together we can give fundraising our breast shot!

And remember: this isn't about politics. It's about breast cancer. And porn that you were probably going to end up looking at anyway. Everyone wins?
