An interesting twist in the ongoing debacle of the stolen/hacked nude celebrity photos is the effort by various people on the sub-Reddit known as the “Fappening” (a word I promise to use as little as possible) to raise money for prostate cancer research. Get it? A bunch of dudes doing, uh, dude stuff in front of their computers raising money for research into cancer of dude parts? It’s apparently funny to the sort of people who think any of this is a good idea.
Well, the Prostate Cancer Foundation isn’t laughing, nor is it accepting their donations:
The Prostate Cancer Foundation returned all money donated via a post on the website Reddit that was designed to make a joke about leaked naked images of Jennifer Lawrence and a slew of other famous women hacked from the women’s Apple iCloud accounts.
“We would never condone raising funds for cancer research in this manner. Out of respect for everyone involved and in keeping with our own standards, we are returning all donations that resulted from this post,” the foundation said in a statement Tuesday.
The dudebros on Reddit are now all butthurt about it. Good.
