<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/6675967">Milking Cancer</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2318200">Breast Cancer Action</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Disgusting. Shame on you Milk companies. And on New Balance. I just learned that they have a yearly cap on how much they donate&#8212;and we all know how much they must make off the pink ribbon. People want to buy things as a feel-good thing. The pink ribbon indicates money will be going towards breast cancer awareness or research. Any item sold with it that doesn&#8217;t have any portion going to the cause should not be sold. This is horrendous.</p>
<p>A wag of the finger to you New Balance. Pity. I own your shoes, a bag&#8230; all with pink ribbons. I won&#8217;t be buying from you again until you decide to lift the &#8216;cap&#8217;. That is the responsible thing to do. Period. And I will tell my friends and tell them to tell their friends etc. etc. Women talk&#8230;and we should walk right out of your stores empty handed and see how much profit you&#8217;ll make with informed consumers.</p>
<p><strong>Consumers beware! </strong><a href="http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/">Think before you pink</a>&#8230; its a company that will help you be an informed consumer. You should know exactly how much companies donning the pink ribbon actually give to the cause and if there is a limit etc.</p>
