13. I bet they see donations drop significantly...

They've ticked off many men and women.

Also, corporations that put that Komen pink ribbon on their products might not so easily
sport that pink ribbon now. It has negative connotations now. Companies don't want
a controversial ribbon on their products. They associate themselves with Komen and the
pink ribbon--purely for marketing reasons. Because they feel that it gives consumers
a warm, fuzzy feeling that gets attached to their product.

Now, the ribbon is tainted. It could turn people away from products.

Those corporate donations were huge.
