A data point in the debate over whether a rape joke can be funny:

I only want coke.

Keep giving to us: people are defintely more aware then ever!

Vs.

Give to us cause, dangit: our research has confirmed another 300 approches that won't yield a cure. Hey, only an infinite number more to try!

I would imagine it's much easier to skim off donations made for "awareness" than donations made for hard research. "Awareness" is a nebulous thing that's hard to quantify. The executives of a cancer "awareness" organization can easily give themselves nice, fat salaries without too much squawking from donors. It's a little harder to do that when your only function is to pass donations along to actual research centers.

I can't stand his American 'us v them,' attitude. Competitive cycling is a complex sport that involves most nations in the world. But to the redneck 'Muricans, it's all 'them' and LA was one of 'us.'

I certainly recognize the distinction, but isn't raising awareness ultimately going to lead to raising money for research? In fact, I'd be hard pressed to imagine that's not going to be the most lucrative route to maximize money for research. The big corporate financiers are really only going to give to those funds and charities that are in the public's radar after all.

Great video, great take.
