Cancer Is No Laughing Matter (But Cancer Ads Are)

Cancer is no laughing matter.  I know a few people that have or have had cancer.  Some are survivors, some didn't make it.

Cancer is scary.

But some of the ways people spread the message about cancer is, well, a little wacky.

Remember the post I did about Hot Dogs Causing Butt Cancer?  That's a fantastic example.

Another example is a PSA showing on local news channels.  It tries to get you to get a colorectal cancer screening, but the way they do it makes me snicker...


But.... but.... but...

I know butt cancer is a serious thing, but can they be more serious on their ads?  I see this commercial 2-3 times a week, and I always laugh.

Another one is more of a satire, but still makes me grin.


Are there any 'serious' commercials playing in your area that you just can't take seriously?
