A woman has been giving a free testicle exams on Los Angeles street to raise £2,600 for Movember Charity. The counting continues....
'This was very awkward but it was all for a good cause
as YouTube prank video group Simple Pickup took on the taboo nature of
testicular exams.
Their video stars Marissa, an attractive woman in a novelty
nurse's uniform and armed with a supply of rubber gloves and the offer to
perform touch tests on men's genitals.
For every taker, the group pledged to donate $100 (£64) to
the Movember campaign and for every 100,000 views their video received over 30
days they would donate the same amount again.
Not surprisingly, the Los Angeles street they chose to
patrol with their sign simply labelled 'Free Testicle Exams' there were plenty
of skeptical blokes.
Comments such as the 'I just have a passion for testicles',
in jest of course, no doubt didn't help.
And of course there was a combination of curious looks from
those wandering by and other taking out their camera phones to record the
moment.
But there were six takers, meaning $600 (£383) for the
Movember campaign, and five days after the video was first posted there have
been more than 3.5million views on their official channel.That means a total
ticking well over $4,100 (£2,600).
Marissa further explained that 'In all seriousness, we did this video to show that you are
just as qualified as I am to give yourself a thorough examination,'
'So, I want you to do it right now [as her two colleagues
oblige]. So if you notice any lumps or swelling, visit your doctor immediately.
