The Cancer Racket: Oh the Irony!



A cancer survivor once asked: "These people are always asking for donations. Where does all the money go?

Answer: The cancer racket sets aside the donated money for the making of cancer rackets for the advertising of the cancer racket which then issues more cancer rackets and hence the vicious cycle continues ad infinitum. In others words, the money goes down the rabbit hole.
