Err on a G-String

“We don’t want your dirty money!”

Did you know that some charities deem it to sniffily be their right to refuse donations because they are offended by fundraisers who aren’t “our sort”?

That seems to be the message, as reported in a Vancouver newspaper, that was offered by the Breast Cancer Society of Canada, which recently refused to accept a $3,045 donation by the Exotic Dancers for Cancer group, because it deemed the funds to have come from “controversial” sources. In other words it was "ooh-ick, dirty money from dirty girls."

This group of charitable ecdysiasts had raised about $6,000 in their annual cancer campaign, of which they had earmarked the aforementioned $3,045 for the Breast Cancer Society. The rebuff from that body of "very important and elite folk" obviously stung, and also offended.

“We were very disappointed,” said peeler spokeswoman Trina Ricketts. “For a disease that doesn’t discriminate, it seems bizarre that an organization would. It almost seems snobby.”

Not “seems”, Trina, it “is” snobby, insufferable, and self-important, and smacks of leaving within me the thought that I might be more careful in future where I send my charity bucks.

Needless to say, breast cancer is a vitally important cause, so what thought would enter the challenged and ‘precious’ brains that make decisions for that society that the strippers have no ‘right’ to proffer their hard-earned bucks? Very hard-earned bucks. Would you like to doff bra and panties day-in and day-out before a group of slathering creeps in order to feed your kids?

As Trina points out later in the article, what they do for a living (though not everybody’s D-cup of tea) is perfectly legal. They are not prostitutes, they are not drug dealers, they are not anything other than a group of women who take off their clothes for a living and do a bit of sensual dancing for some lonely guys.

The exotic dancers also -- like all women -- can fall victim to potentially fatal breast cancer, and it was with that thought in mind they assumed they had the right to contribute to a charity -- just like regular citizens. But, the Breast Cancer Society decided they are not regular citizens.

For shame!
