The wait may not be that long. A lot of colon cancer awareness groups have been mulling over that kind of approach to encourage routine checkups. One recent campaign was "Don't Die of Embarassment." The point being, it's in your best interest to get over the discomfort of an anal-rectal exam than find out the hard way that cancer got out of control.
Rosie O'Donnell did something similar with her "I Got Squished" T-shirts that she promoted on her show, encouraging routine mammography.
Then of course, there's the guy who was all over MTV (I think it was Tom Green, but someone correct me if not) who coined the pithy phrase, "Don't be a yutz--check your nuts!" for testicular cancer awareness.
I'm going to end the hijak before a discussion begins on abortion vs cancer awareness.
