A group of Reddit users have been so enamored by leaked intimate photos of Jennifer Lawrence that they have organized a campaign to donate money to the Prostate Cancer Foundation in her honor. The campaign has already resulted in thousands of dollars flowing the foundation's way.
The campaign originated on a Reddit forum dedicated to cataloging and sharing leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other female Hollywood celebrities. Users urged each other to donate money to prostate cancer research.
The underlying, hidden joke behind choosing the Prostate Cancer Foundation as the beneficiary of donations is the scientific fact that masturbation may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.
Regardless, the Reddit forum has since become the top fundraiser in the Prostate Cancer Foundation's $1 million matching grant challenge.
