October 5th, 2012 10:04 AM

Susan G. Komen For The Cure, the nation's leading breast cancer foundation, announced Thursday it is refusing to accept donations from a pornographic website.

Pornhub.com issued the following press release Wednesday (via The Cut, edited for content):

This isn’t the first time Pornhub has taken action to combat breast cancer. Six months ago, the website brought their “Save the Boobs” bus to NYC to rescue Manhattan’s mammories by spreading awareness. So how can you help save the boobs this time around, you bravely ask?

Simply visit the landing page on Pornhub's site (link available upon request) and follow the prompts, or head to the ‘categories’ tab on Pornhub.com’s home page. [...]

The Save the Boobs web page will keep track of the total unique visits for the month.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Komen told the Huffington Post via email: "Susan G. Komen for the Cure is not a partner of pornhub.com. We will not accept donations from this organization and have asked them to stop using our name."
