(via cognitivedissonance) From the “It’s not The Onion” files: Yes, that’s right, the “new and improved” Susan G. Komen for the Cure now has partnered with the manufacturers of Smith and Wesson, the largest manufacturer of handguns in the U.S., to produce the Walther P-22 Hope Edition handgun in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is a terrible thing. It kills an estimated 41,000 people (yes, a small fraction of its victims are men) annually. Gun violence in America kills 10,000 people a year. What better partnership could there be? Oh, and by the way, the pink Walther P-22 “Hope Edition” (Hope… Really, as in, “I hope I kill you?” Seriously?) can be yours for the low price of $429.99. Get them while they last.
