Cure your prostate cancer.

Hmmm, Pints for prostates.

*chhhh* Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug!

Tee-hee! The bubbles, they tickle my prosta...*cough* KERSPLASH!

Dammit, those were new Underoos!

Am I the only one who read that as "Pints for Pornstars?"

in before the beer snobbery

Same here, and I think it's a darn good idea!

I'd hit it

Pfff. I'm sorry, but this seems kind of pointless to me. At this point pretty much all guys know that they're supposed to have a prostate screening. It's just a transparent gimmick that lets him hang out in bars and tell his wife that it's for...a...good....cause....um...

...You know, I really support this guy in his mission. Anything that we can do to remind guys to get a screening and potentially save their lives is a good thing in my book. Steady on, dude.

Let's get drunk and give each other prostate exams, Doogie!

I thought the headline said "pins for prostates" and it sounded painful.

No, I read it as "Pints for prostitutes."

This is disgusting... how dare these men draw attention to prostate cancer, when breast cancer is obviously much more important.

 
Gothmolly 2009-11-01 03:16:40 PM  
Apply directly to prostate.

Apparently this guy didn't hear the recent news (new window) about prostate screening, or even a slightly older report (new window), either.

If you are a male, should you get screened, especially after age 50? Certainly. They don't need to stick a finger in your cornhole anymore, unless the PSA test shows you might have it, then they might have to go digital (and/or more invasive inspections).

Honestly though, most men are going to die of something else long before any actual prostate cancer they have kills them. Most of the time, prostate cancer is a "slow killer"; you often see men die of a heart attack or stroke, long before their diagnosed prostate cancer gets them.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't get checked out. It does mean that you should understand what you are dealing with, and make a decision at time of diagnosis what your best options are. For most cases, I would say that after detection (via the PSA test), yearly or semi-yearly digital "inspections" would be the better option, to determine if growth and/or other problems are being detected, and if so, have the operation/chemo/radiation therapy as necessary to treat it.

/that's my layman's opinion, of course...

 
Suede head 2009-11-01 03:29:32 PM  
Yeah, good luck with that.

Women's cancers get all the publicity, sympathy and cash.

Men with prostate/testicular cancer? Nah. Go home and die quietly. No pink ribbon campaign for you.

 
atomicmask 2009-11-01 03:31:17 PM  
Make your life any better after beer gets you in bed with an ugly fat girl, who you get pregnant, and wants child support for 18 years of its life? thats one thing beer cant do.

Apparently some of them get pink ribbons.
Which they would gladly trade in for purple steel.

THIS.

it certainly can't make this giants game entertaining. Even to this die hard

It won't be the first time beer has led to the insertion of foreign objects into rectums.

 
KajakPro [TotalFark] 2009-11-01 04:14:12 PM  
So we have this. And not shaving for a month. Oh. This is going to be a gongshow of a month.
/In no condition to drink after last night.

Am I the only one that read this as "Pints for Prostitutes"? The remainder of the sentence failed to make sense thereafter.

Peter Criss gets a pink ribbon, he had breast cancer.

Oh, quit your farking whining. Do you think the pink ribbon stuff was simply awarded by divine fiat? The pink ribbon stuff exists because regular-ass people organized it, formed foundations, and raised the money. You want your own damn ribbon, get off your entitled ass and go make it happen.

The only thing dumber than the ribbons/bracelets/magnets is whining about them.

Our brewery had an event with him not too long ago, maybe last month. Great tagline on the promo materials: "So you know your IPA, what about your PSA?"

 
Alphakronik 2009-11-02 02:57:39 PM  
Yeah, it can't solve prostate cancer.
