Not from The Onion, we promise.

Baker Hughes, a Houston-based fracking concern with three offices in Dallas, cares about breast cancer research. Just enough, in fact, that they've made 100 pink drill bits to increase awareness this month, according to New York magazine, which pointed some other interesting links between fracking and cancer.

Unfair Park knows what it's getting its mom for Mother's Day.

Way to show those holes that they are aware.

Brings new meaning to the phrase horizontal drilling.

I think I saw that and New Fine Arts once.

Stop making fun of Komen. They're only trying to increase awareness among the mole people, even though our underground-dwelling friends have no risk of actually getting breast cancer.

Reject all money that comes from corporations that engage in business activity deemed politically incorrect by a commitee of pure people who know purity, like, say, Harry Reid and Al Sharpton.

Better yet, take the money and burn it so these companies can't hoard it overseas. Take a stand, America! The life you don't save might be a republican's.

Meanwhile the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure has a new sponsor besides Koch.....it's proud to announce a partnership with Monsanto. Yep, Monsanto...who brings us cancer daily.

Fracking company? Nice oversimplification for oversimplified minds.

Baker Hughes is an oilfield/drilling products/services company with origins going back to Howard Hughes' father and the invention of the rotary drilling bit.

But anything related to oil and gas and/or corporations is bad, right?

Also, has anyone noticed that when you hit "Post Comment" when you haven't typed anything, the message "It seems you're attempting to post an empty comment" comes up? I

It seems that this message should come up for some of you even after you type something.
