In reply to the discussion: Awesome PSA about male breast cancer [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)14. *women* are aware
women know to self check and go to the doctor and get regular exams.
How many men do this?
It's spreading awareness not about the disease in general but to a group that historically is largely unaware of it (affecting them directly, they know women can get it but that's it).
Also, if Chris O'Dowd is like this in all his performances, he is not that great of an actor. There is no way you can convince people this is some critically acclaimed video or anything, so don't even try.
I never said it was a critically acclaimed movie. I said he was a famous actor in Britain. And given the quality I'd say it's above the usual youtube standards of cats sleeping in funny positions.
That said, this looks to me like harmless nonsense. Who cares, people! There are RWers effectively taking womens rights away as we speak, and somehow this silly video gets some people upset. Get some perspective!
Well it had breasts in it. Which is absolutely absurd. Why would breasts come up when discussing breast cancer?
All PSAs should be a blank screen with Morgan Freeman using his god-voice to do a voice over meticulously listing the relevant statistics. That's how you get people to pay attention. That's how you raise awareness.

The I.T. Crowd is a really good show. Does that figure into this discussion on any level?
