Penis Curbs Syphilis, Saves World
Erections Up, Infections Down

Healthyp.jpg
We know it's hard, but try to think back to San Francisco's 2002 Gay Pride (yeah, they all sort of blend together into a rainbow tapestry of faggotry). If you were there, you may recall San Francisco Department of Public Health unveiled a new syphillis testing ad campaign. In said campaign, a cartoon penis by the oh-so-subtle name "Healthy Penis" made his Gayville debut, encouraging hordes of homo whores to get themselves tested for the big-S.

While some may have scoffed at the cartoon crusade, health officials credit Healthy Penis (HP if you're nasty) with sharply reducing syphilis infections in the Bay Area over the past three years.

Oh, Healthy Penis, we love you! Come play with us, Healthy Penis and we'll worship you like the dick head deity you are...

(PS: Are the penises meant to represent people, as if gay men are actually just walking dicks. If so, these people aren't just health conscious, they're social commentators. And astute, as well.)

This cartoon is fantastic...gotta love something when it tackles a very serious problem with a bit of humor - and works!

I'm a big fan of the campaign myself (i've actually got a little stress ball penis that sits erect on your desk with a big smiley face from that campaign) and hilariously enough modeled for the successor campaign that they rolled out this year when the cartoon penis moved to San Jose. Small world, erect penis.

Syphilis is treatable but it's an awful disease. I could link to photos but they're a bit gruesome for a family show like this. WBR LeoP
