Komen Apologizes, Restores Funding

Here's the story and the full apology that I've excerpted below. The immediate reaction on Twitter appears to be highly distrustful. Some are noting the "we're sorry YOU got upset" tone.

Nothing Says Cancer Cure Like a Pink Gun

This is an actual thing:
Discount Gun Sales is proud to team up with the Susan B. Koman Foundation to offer the Walther P-22 Hope Edition in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of each P-22 Hope Edition will be donated to the Seattle Branch of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The P-22 Hope Edition has an exclusive DuraCoat Pink slide in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Utilizing the same reliable controls and firing mechanism that has made the Walther P-22 America’s top selling handgun, the Hope Edition will be a limited production pistol offered exclusively through Discount Gun Sales.
What's Komen's cut of that $429.99?

Shameful Surrender

No more Komen-funded breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood. If Jesus wants you to get cancer, don't get in his way. Praise! Glory! Hate groups are doing backflips all across Twitter.

LGBT Cancer Survey

Take the survey.
