Mr. Balls, aka 'Senhor Testiculo'
« on: February 06, 2016, 06:17:35 PM »




Mascot for Brazilian cancer awareness group has made new friends with kids and adults while driving a serious medical issue into the media spotlight.
BY Stephen Williams

 At first blush, the mascot's name is rather endearing: Mr. Balls.

But for those who might find that descriptive title offensive, the scrotum-shaped character also answers to "Senhor Testiculo" in Brazil, where he is a spokes-thing for a group that is seeking to raise awareness of testicular cancer research.

An important mission, granted, and the rather graphic creation sponsored by Brazil's Association of Personal Assistance for Cancer has done its job by propelling the issue into the media spotlight.

 "Both children and adults loved taking pictures with the mascot, a friendly snowman in the shape of testicle," says the non-profit organization's website.

You've got to admire Mr. Balls' bravery to let it all hang out. The character's eyes have a kind of bedroom quality, and, thanks to the positive response to Sponge Bob's dental occlusion, Mr. Balls' buck teeth are almost fashionable.

Okay, I thought Mr balls was funny, but my point is, this is would never be allowed in America.  Look at that picture of a cute little girl next to a pear of balls.  American women would be up in arms about a girl seeing this.  Yet, this Brazilian girl will have a much better view of male nudity and sex than most American women.

It's perfectly okay to have save the tatas as a slogan for breast cancer and Susan G Komen makes a personal fortune on breast cancer.  look how many men die every year from prostate cancer.  Where's the campaign for men?

Being an European, I always LOL about the prudish nipple-fearing Americans. Yet, they have about the largest adult-industry of the world, nevertheless a great country with nice people, good foods and GREAT CARS.
