Do Your Testicles Feel Okay?

Jun 25, 2008 - I'm wracking my brain trying to remember if I've ever seen a PSA for say, breast cancer, that seemed like its target audience was the Sesame Street crowd. (Is this how you have to speak to men to get them to worry about testicular cancer?) In any case, I can't complain, because I feel my life is complete after hearing the following lyrics: "If your balls are feeling lumpy, if they're tender or they're grumpy/If you notice you've got three then a doctor you should see/If they're swelling up your pants, don't miss your chance/Go see a physician." Well done! - 0 Comments

That is, until the cancer strikes. - 6 Comments

Check Your Balls!

Dec 26, 2007 - I love how ads aimed at women are so dainty and delicate. Maxi-pad commercials hint at actual menstrual blood with an artistic red dot (or blue liquid). This PSA for testicular cancer is aimed at men—or their "balls," anyway. - 8 Comments
