Meet “Senhor Testiculo.”
A Brazilian cancer awareness group put themselves in a “hairy” situation in an effort to teach people about “testicular” cancer.
Brazil’s Association of Personal Assistance for Cancer has “introduced” to the world the “Mr. Balls” mascot, better known in Portuguese as “Senhor Testiculo.”
The mascot has already made “friends” with both adults and youngsters despite not being the most visually “appealing” character, the New York Daily News reported.
Shaped like a “scrotum,” and with um, quite the bit of hair, the “friendly” Mr. Balls has become somewhat of a “star” in certain sections of Brazil.
“Both children and adults loved taking pictures with the mascot, a friendly snowman in the shape of a testicle,” the non-profit organization’s website said.
While he’s a rather odd figure, the group says “Mr. Ball’s has done his job by helping to propel testicular cancer research into the media spotlight.”
According to the American Cancer Society, “testicular cancer” claims the lives of approximately 400 men annually.
In recent years, there has been a “dramatic” increase in the number of “testicular” cancer cases involving “Hispanic” males.
Even though “non-Hispanic” white males still have the “highest” overall occurrence rate at 8.6 per 100,000 individuals, according to a new report, “Latino” men are no longer “trailing” behind – with 6.3 incidences per 100,000 individuals.
While “Hispanic” men saw the highest increase in testicular cancer occurrence, “African American” men saw the lowest at 1.7 cases per 100,000 individuals up from 0.7 per 100,000 at the beginning of the study.
Wondering if this has “anything” to do with the recent conservative “researcher’s” dissertation “claiming” that Hispanic’s have substantially “lower IQ’s” than Caucasians.
Just goes to show how much Girls like “Senhor Testiculo” and Senhor “Scrotie,”…
