In April 2011, Komen introduced its own perfume brand, "Promise Me", promoted by Komen CEO Nancy Brinker on the Home Shopping Network,[75] only to encounter opposition due to coumarin, oxybenzone, toluene and galaxolide as potentially harmful ingredients. Komen stated its intention to have the product reformulated but has refused to withdraw existing stocks of the "Promise Me" product from distribution.

I hate to reply to my own post. You want to donate money, you want to feel like you are making a difference?
Don't buy something because they have a colored ribbon.
Send your donations directly.
If a corporate entity wishes to donate...
I'm not a religious person.
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

If I'm choosing between to comparable products, and one is made with child labor, or dangerous working conditions, or whatever, and the other isn't, and I care about those things, how is it stupid to choose the product made in a way I find responsible and humane? Is buying products uninformed and indifferent to the way they are produced intelligent, or just being an a-hole? Why do you care?

I had this argument with an employee of Nike.
Me: "How can you sell a pair of shoes for $100+, when it costs you pennys"?
She: "As you know, I start-up factories". "When we begin hiring, there are applicants lined up for days". "The employment in these areas are so dire, that what Nike pays can support a family".
Ahem.

She is just doing her job. The marketing people are just doing their job. The people that pay millions to pro athletes and universities are doing their job.

I kige this.
In economic terms, it simply means you derive utility from those factors, and you maximize your utility by purchasing fair trade goods.

Charity is not and should have never been a marketing tool.

Your premise is that consumers are stupid because some of them want companies to not be assholes?
