from – www.3news.co.nz – Porn tycoon Steve Crow says he is “gob-smacked” that his pledge of $5000 to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation (NZBCF) has been rejected – and is instead donating it to an organisation set up by a UFO cult.

The money originally offered to NZBCF will instead go to Clitoraid – a US-based organisation set up by UFO cult the Raëlian Movement, which claims to help women around the world suffering from genital mutilation.

Mr Crow yesterday said that if he got 100 women to take part in the next ‘Boobs on Bikes’ parade, scheduled to be held in Auckland’s Queen St in September, he would donate $5000 to NZBCF. An additional $2500 would be donated if 100 men also signed up.

The offer was withdrawn today after NZBCF emailed one of the parade’s organisers, turning down the offer. Spokeswoman Jeanine Gribbin said the foundation takes care “to avoid events/projects that might be inappropriate or do not support our intentions, messages or have relevance to our stakeholders”.

NZBCF earlier this year turned down an offer of a free stand at this year’s Erotica Lifestyles Expo, also run by Mr Crow, who said the foundation should be feeling “shame” for their latest snub.

“Is the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation so flush with cash that it does not need money to help New Zealand women combat and/or live with this horrible disease?” Mr Crow wrote in an email to NZBCF. “If not, then who the hell are you to take a moral high-ground that could deny one or more New Zealand women a better life?”

Mr Crow also criticised NZBCF for accepting money from SkyCity and the Lion Foundation, which are funded through “alcohol and gambling”.

The money will now be pledged to Clitoraid, a US-based organisation which claims to help women around the world suffering from genital mutilation.

Clitoraid was set up in 2006 by UFO cult the Raëlian Movement, who believe their leader Rael was visited by extra-terrestrials who gave him special instructions for mankind.
