The pictures accompanying this post were taken yesterday at the press conference preceding the ribbon-cutting at Dufferin Mall’s latest attraction: a giant inflatable replica of a human colon, with giant inflatable polyps inside, that people can walk through to learn about the dangers of colorectal cancer, and how to prevent it―until Saturday, when it gets packed up for its next appearance, in Peterborough.
Yes, there was a press conference. The Star and CBC were there, and so was Eye Weekly. The Giant Colon is big news. It’s located right at the entrance to Walmart. It is magnificent in every way.
We spoke with some representatives from Cancer Care Ontario, who were manning a table full of pamphlets next to the Colon. They informed us that colorectal cancer is completely curable ninety percent of the time, as long as it’s detected early, either with a Fecal Occult Blood Test (which is apparently not as sinister as it sounds), or with a colonoscopy (which is when they do to you what plumbers do to pipes that are too clogged to plunge). These tests are recommended for everyone fifty and older, male or female, and they should be administered every two years.
After our colorectal catechism, one of the pamphleteers asked us if we’d been inside the Colon yet. We hadn’t. “Oh,” he said, “then you haven’t lived.”
arent there penises in yours?

I decided to at least temporarily retire the giraffe. I just liked the idea of Herman Caine leering at every post I make. Not sure what that says about me.
You want to be the caboose in the Cain train?
