Infomercial Promotes Prostate Cancer Awareness

nagzi writes "I was just finishing watching Star Trek: TNG (late night) and before I had a chance to turn the TV off, an infomercial came on about a product that's supposed to help with prostate cancer. They gave some pretty scary stats: 10 million men are walking around and do not even know that they have a problem. They talked about some of the operations that men have to go through to treat the cancer -- very scary. Also, Dirk Benedick (StarBuck from Battlestar Galactica) was helping to promote the product. He talked about his experiences when he tried to talk about prostate cancer on national TV, and he basically was told to stop talking about it. Maybe someone in a men's issues group could get a hold of Mr. Benedick to promote prostate cancer. The product is called Beta Prostate, and no, I don't have anything to do with it. I just found it interesting that so much information was given, and that there was actually something about prostate cancer on TV."
