Default Bob Monkhouse - Give A Few Bob Campaign (18th June 2007)

Now I know this is supposed to be a blog regarding the Wii, however Prostate Cancer is a serious issue that effects as many men as Breast Cancer effects women so I hope you all don't mind me putting this in my blog.


Bob Monkhouse was a great British Comedian who sadly died in 2003 but has been 'brought back to life' thanks to computer wizardry, a lookalike and a soundalike.

Take a look at the advert from the official web site below to see the new campaign for Prostate Cancer.

If you wish you can make a donation online or (like me) you can buy a badge from places such as WH Smiths.



================================================== =================

"In 2003, Bob died from prostate cancer, a disease which is now killing one man every hour in the UK.

Shockingly, although it's almost as common as breast cancer, it gets a fraction of the research funding. Highly promising research projects are ready to go right now, they just need the money to get started.

Please forward the film (made with the full support of Bob's family) to every man (and anyone who cares about a man) you know. Then click below to give a few bob. You might save someone's life."

I'm sure that nobody minds you posting about a serious issue. I didn't know that it was nearly as common as breast cancer, I guess i always assumed it was more rare. You certainly hear less about its affects. Valuable post.

It is now a bigger killer than lung cancer.

From what I understand, some of the footage in the ad came from the BBC archives who charged Bob's widow around £4,000 for the footage.

So I hope you guys are doing your bit and spending £1 buying a badge from WH Smiths etc.

Bob Monkhouse was great! - Unlike that big fat C*** that died today.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I had to get that off my chest!

How about a Blog about testicular cancer? - That affects more young people than Prostate cancer...
