my new favorite superhero

bet you don't know who this bulbous, smug-looking fellow is. i do, thanks to the american cancer society:

polyp.jpgPolyp Man, a larger-than-life, red-suited colon polyp — a nuisance of a character who pops up unexpectedly in people’s lives, stars in a national public service advertising campaign sponsored by the American Cancer Society and developed in association with the Advertising Council. Polyp Man grabs viewers’ attention and, with the use of humor, cuts through barriers often associated with getting tested for colon cancer while getting across the simple truth: Colon Cancer: Get the test. Get the polyp. Get the cure.
he is featured on the front of a brochure i picked up today. normally, i'd snort and ask whose brilliant idea this was, but i can't deny that it worked. polyp man reached right out and grabbed me by the lapels with his undeniable allure, and apparently i can't resist telling all my friends about his wondrous powers, so there you go.

I've seen the PSAs starring Polyp Man. I only know 'cuz it caught my eye as I zoomed past on the TiVo.

Actually, I think the commercials were filmed 6 feet up my ass during my last colonoscopy...
