You might be able to make that argument about their original $2000, but the money generated from the views was money they didn't have which they earmarked for donation. It's unlikely that a less risque and controversial video would have generated more views (after all, sex sell...or gets clicks), so their choice of action/video seemed to have been good in that regard.They didn't raise any money.
I repeat. They didn't raise any money.
They had some money.
They said they would give that money to BCRF if a bunch of girls let them motorboat them.
Let's say I grant that premise. So I grant that they could have had purer motives. But I fail to see how them not being 100% altruistic means they did something bad. Sure they could have just donated those two G's without the video. But they could also have just spent that money on booze. Or they could have lit it on fire. So I take them choosing to use it for a good cause as a good thing overall, even if they got something they wanted out of the deal. No one got hurt, people had fun, those guys got to motorboat some boobs, and money was (attempted to be) donated to a worthy cause. Seems like a win-win all around. Or could have been.If they really cared about the cause, they would have donated the money without the crass video
I'd suggest that an alternate way to look at the video is people striving toward a goal of making sure women never have to go through what your friend's mom and her sister went through ever again. Yes, they want to save "boobs" but they also want to save women (and men) the pain of dealing with breast cancer and losing one's breasts. I'm not sure that's such a bad thing to aim for. Even people who have had mastectomies might be able to get behind that.Both of them were devastated when they lost their breasts and are still extremely insecure because of it.
I'm not going to speak for all women who went through breast cancer(I can tell you now if I got it I would be pretty upset about this video) but I will say for two victims I know they wouldn't be happy.
I mean, if I posted a video of me poking a baby Pillsbury doughboy style and the baby laughing hysterically and then enacted a drive to "Save the giggles" from some disease or other, would parents who have lost children or couples who are unable to have children going to think it's directed at them or that it somehow means they're lesser people or that I'm being insensitive to their situation?
