Rachel Gets Fruity! sexually suggestive self exam video for men

We are all adults here. I am assuming we are all adults here. If not, before you follow the link to this video, you might want to do it when the kids are not in the room. Not because there is anything they should not see, but because knowing kids the way I do, they might ask what the lady in the video is doing with the plum.

There are times when you just don't feel like being creative enough to explain innuendo in a way that prevents the school calling the next day to discuss what your child is discussing in class about daddy watching the lady with the plum video. The translation of double entendre can take interesting detours when repeated during graham crackers and milk time.

After all, as a parent, you are already explaining away the sexual innuendo of children's shows like Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed, Edd n Eddy, The Fairly OddParents, Johnny Bravo, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Back to the lady with the plum. It's a bit of genius if you ask me. Rachel Gets Fruity! is part of the Everyman campaign to raise awareness on the ease and simplicity of a testicular self exam. It's short, sweet and to the point. Starring pop star Rachel Stevens, the video is sexual suggestive in a soft porn kind of way. There is no nudity. It's likely to grab attention of the audience it is aimed at and effectively raise awareness. Because awareness needs to be raised.

According to a survey, only 28 percent of men check their testicles regularly for signs of testicular cancer. The Everyman campaign is attempting to change that in innovative and creative ways. Here's the Rachel Gets Fruity! video. To find out more information on the Everyman campaign and other efforts Everyman is involved in to raise awareness, go here.

Dennis Rodman: the bad boy of cancer charity

When it comes to inflammatory gossip, Dennis Rodman is such as easy target. And honestly, no one is going to be handing out tissue if boohoo tears are shed when something bad is said about him. After all, he does appear to go out of his outrageous way to gain attention at every turn. The latest Rodman scandal involves the disgust of Cosmopolitan magazine editors when he asked to be paid for a centerfold shot in support of the Everyman campaign -- a fundraiser to attract donations for testicular and prostate cancer research. According to the tabloid report, singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz and rapper Eminem were willing to pose for the sexy centerfold photos for free. Well okay.

But to put some perspective on cancer fundraising campaigns in general, there are many businesses and private individuals making a profit. When you donate money to a charity, all the money you donate does not go straight to research or patient programs. There are administrative fees and salaries to be paid. When you buy a product that states it is donating a portion of the profits to cancer charity, the actual percentage is often difficult to discern. I am not sticking up for Rodman because he doesn't need me to do so -- I am sure the man knows exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. I am not saying I agree with him. He seems to live his life without regard of who he might offend. The incident over the magazine's campaign centerfold spread should start more than one conversation about the profit of charity. As for the gossip? Is anyone shocked -- it's Rodman.
