Looking for a cartoonishly risqué way to keep track of the days in 2007? Fifteen webcomic artists have created the Tastefully Done: 2007 Nude Webcomic Calendar featuring nude versions of webcomic characters, with all proceeds going to cancer research.

The calendar showcases the work of Ivan Pope, Ali Graham, Gordon McAlpin, Charles Woolbright, Chris Jones, Bryan Chojnowski, Pontus Madsen & Christian Fundin, Chris Simmons, Philip Spence, Rich Dachtera, Robert Koch, Ramón Pérez, Rob Coughler, Ryan Estrada, and of course, webcomic characters appearing in various scenarios of nudity.

From geriatric strip poker to nude bus rides, the artists realize that the calendar might not be for everyone, but it was only a matter of time before webcomic cartoon characters joined the ranks of the nude in benefiting cancer research. It's not naked librarians, hunky firefighters, naked rugby players, naked day traders, nude village women (who started the nude calendar for cancer charity phenomenon) or topless models (who decided in being different they would remain fully-clothed), but it is a one-of-a-kind calendar in the webcomic category.

You can take a peek and purchase the Tastefully Done: 2007 Nude Webcomic Calendar through Lulu's here.

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.

Not all London traders are signing on to pose nude for a calendar to benefit the KatCanDo charity. While reported not to be a shy and retiring group, an unnamed trader is quoted as saying he will not be publicly stripping down to the nude for a calendar. "I think I give the world enough amusement without taking my clothes off."

In 2004, the KatCanDo charity was founded by Kate Coles, who was diagnosed with colon cancer three years ago and passed away this last March. Her husband Stephen Coles assures everyone that this is a serious project that will be done with the utmost taste. Each person appearing in the calendar will be discreetly covered in all the right places.

The KatCanDo has published two other calendars, the 2005 calendar, Doctors Uncovered, and a 2006 calendar featuring drawings by children who have been treated for cancer and leukemia.

In addition, they have hosted a Charity Ball; they had runners in the Reading half-marathon and the London Marathon and five runners completed the Great North Run for the charity. KatCanDo has been chosen as the Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd Sports and Social Clubs Nominated Charity for the next year and they have been chosen as the British and Commonwealth Women's Club of Brussels British Charity for 2006. The efforts of the charity has assisted local cancer patients in a number of ways. For more information on the charity, visit KatCanDo -- and if you are a trader in London -- they still have a few open months left in the upcoming calendar.

Back in June, when Pamela Anderson stood nude in the window of fashion designer Stella McCartney's London clothes shop to bring attention to PETA, she was making a statement she would rather go nude than wear fur. Anderson chose to deliver that message in a way certain to be heard. It was an outrageous stunt but it worked -- and whether you tsk-tsk or applaud her effort, Pamela Anderson and PETA made headlines around the globe that day.

It worked for the global cosmetics company Avon in Bulgaria this week, when in a continuing effort to raise awareness for breast cancer, they launched an eye-catching public campaign using three well-known sexy celebrities of Bulgaria. Posing in a larger-than-life banner hung outside the National Art Gallery in Sofia, the three beauties stared back at passers-by with a suggestion that when the large pink ribbon covering the women in the banner in just the right places came down, the public would be in for a nude shock.

As it turns out, when the pink ribbon was pulled down, the bare-shouldered bare-legged smiling women in the poster -- television star Natalia Simeonova, pop diva Maria Ilieva and film actress Koyna Rousseva -- were holding up pink tees with a breast cancer message printed on them.

Will the public or the paparazzi ever tire of sexy or the hint of nudity or actual nudity? No -- and I am not suggesting they do. Only that this type of campaign risks becoming cliche. If I were head of a large organization with a goal to raise awareness in eye-popping ways, I would hire the brightest, most innovative and creative minds in the advertising world, and let them create something intelligent and fresh and new. But for now, Pamela Anderson and Avon know what works -- and they work it.

When John Richard Baker, Assistant National Park Officer for the Yorkshire Dales, died in July 1998 from leukemia, his wife Annie and her best friend Chris got the ladies of the local Women’s Institute together with the idea of producing a calendar to raise money for cancer charity. Each month would feature a different woman in the women's group, doing ordinary things like making jam, flower arranging, or knitting. The traditional idea had a radical twist -- the women would appear nude. The calendar gained international attention which eventually led to the filming of the Calendar Girls movie.

When Baker was diagnosed with cancer, he began growing sunflowers and gave them to friends and family --hoping to live long enough to see them fully-bloomed. Unfortunately, he lost his life to cancer before that happened. The sunflower has become the cancer charity fundraising activities symbol for his family and friends.

Wearing bras decorated in sunflowers, the Calendar Girls, together with friends and family, are now training for London's Playtex Moonwalk, a cancer charity fundraising event in which thousands of women walk 26.2 miles through the night wearing elaborately decorated bras.  While the past efforts of the women's group have raised more than £1m total for leukemia research, this walk will be for breast cancer charity. In addition, the Calendar Girls recently launched a 2007 calendar. Profits from the calendar will continue to go to leukemia research.

If Howard Stern isn't talking about it, he will be soon. Bombshell Poker is promoting itself with the tagline: Models by day, professional poker players by night in online poker just got sexy! Here's how it works. Ten models form a poker team, and players who can win against the team are offered cash and prizes, such as Win-a-Date with a Bombshell, Win-a-Trip to a Bombshell photo shoot, and the Bombshell Poker Cruise Package. Of course there is a VIP lounge. Of course there is -- this is the Internet. VIP players can interact with the models through email, have access to photo galleries, behind the scenes video shoots, and special members only tournaments.

My prediction. Online poker is already a thriving online business. Scantily-clad women have been a draw since the public began using the Internet. Bombshell Poker Girls is going to be a wildly popular web destination for those who enjoy both. Why am I talking about it? Because a portion of the proceeds will be going to the American Breast Cancer Society to fight breast cancer. In addition, according to this new enterprise, members of the Bombshell Poker Celebrity Team will be playing in several poker tournaments during the course of the year and donating any winnings to the American Breast Cancer Society.
