• I love this idea. Yeah, men will be pervs about it but breast cancer is still common and deadly, and breast exams with mammograms are painful and often pricy. I'm personally pissed off that people on other sites are claiming women won't know who these characters are because women "don't read comics". Bullshiat. That's like saying don't use Batman for a campaign because only certain geeks will know who he is.

• I'm tunisian & I read comics since 4years, & trust me it's more than enough to forge your own opinion. Also many people will find this pretty cool even without being overtly familiar with the characters.

• oh Simon, we're not giggling! just admiring the beauties mother nature brought with our functionnal XX chromosome bearing counterparts!

• The whole "Amazons chopping their breasts off" is a folk etymology, thinking it meant "without breast" rather than the more likely "man-killers".  It gained currency despite there being no actual evidence of it in pre-classical artwork.  Thus, it's no more correct than people insisting golf is an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden."

• Not very many mutant super heroes in Africa either.

• Either way I'm gonna miss that guy.  We should buy him a lovely fruit basket.

• Have you ever been to sub-Saharan Africa? Not many white, silky-haired black women there.

• Dammit!! Finally I get to see Wonder woman touch her own boobies and I can't enjoy it because I keep thinking of breast cancer. Bad enough FFF has ruined nearly every other aspect of life for me...

• See, I can't see these as arousing. It just seems disrespectful.

• I can see it now. Various DC and Marvel super heroes (and villains, and anti heroes), bent over a medical table, with various looks of discomfort, arousal and puzzlement on their faces as a doctor somberly stands behind them. Deadpool should have little yellow boxes wondering 1) if liking it means he's gay, 2) if the doctor offers happy endings, 3) how much he should tip for this kind of thing, 4)whether his healing factor can take care of it, 5) whether Cable would let him check him. Spiderman could have the table covered in webbing as both the an obvious juvenile innuendo, and a mythology gag to the 80's cartoon where he went to the doctor as spiderman for a check up. Batman could just be haranguing the doctor "Are you stupid? Are you retarded? Do you know who I am? I'M THE GODDAMNED BATMAN! No one's allowed in the bat cave except me!" The Joker could just be laughing his ass off (pun not intended) as a green vapor wafts through the air and the doctor is lying on the floor with a death grin. That or there could be a side shot with a little bang flag coming out of the Joker's ass. Frank Castle could be bent over the table, dead serious, as the doctor is piling guns on a table next to him It'd be glorious.

• :spit take!: eyes, eyes! why do you deceive me??

• Sooooo Storm is a white woman who isn't from Africa?

• "Also, most guys who get prostate cancer are like, 70 or older." Bill Bixby and Frank Zappa would disagree with you. It develops in men over 50, as a general rule.  And yes, 80% of men who make it to 80 years of age are likely to get it.  But, as many a man over the age of 40 will tell you, that's the age most Doctor's recommend you start getting screened.  And while there are now blood tests and the like to help, the ol' finger wave is still considered a useful tool in fighting prostate cancer. (You may chuckle at the use of the word tool)

• As sort of a general offer, should any nerd girl on TR have problems with her breasts getting in the way, I'm more than willing to hold them for the lady.  At least until they're no longer in the way.

• Oh please, how many adult women in Mozambique really read comics? 3? This is just a thing meant to get attention from men readers. If this is really about breast cancer, they should: A-Maybe use black women atleast, what with it being Mozambique and everything. B-The women would be topless to make feeling easier (I'd think). C-They wouldn't use Catwomen who is barely visible. Just say "Here is some pics of comic females feeling themselves" and get it over with.

• "Well, women on average have less upper body strength than men..." Correction: "women on average have less body strength than men" (minus the needless "upper").

• Maybe we can get some male heroes fondling their balls too.  I'm sure Superman is at risk for testicular cancer from his repeated kryptonite exposure. Or maybe DC/Marvel should sue the @#$t our of these guys.

• well aren't you just a wet <s>blanket</s> brassière

• "I examine myself for testicular cancer so I don't die from a thing that starts with 'C'..........just like my parents **sob**" --Batman

• This really isn't a good cause. Self exams are right up there with homeopathy in terms of keeping people from real medicine when they might need it. Most studies that I'm aware of have shown that self exams are not only useless for detecting cancer, and have actually done more harm than good in the long run. The answer is qualified doctors performing examinations, not making wild guesses when it's something as important as cancer. 

• If Jenny Hulk is cancer i'm gonna sacrifice my self and take all of it. Also this needs more PeeGee.

• Guys giggling about boobs. I don't know why I expect better from the internet.

• Makes you wonder if--since these are in English--that maybe either the US CDC, or DC Comics set this up to see how women online might react to it in the US. Because, you know, Americans aren't hyper-sensitive to this sort of thing in any way.

• Bah. Pro Tip: copy/paste may look okay, but the formatting will suck. :(

• na ah, the technical term is gazoonga gazoonga

• that tingly feeling  in batman's nutsack was not the result of a two fist attack tea bagging she hulk yeah was not ok as she exuded pesky gamma ray now jason todd he bends over one two as he kisses g'night the swollen booboo

• <i>Solomon Grundy,Born on a Monday,Found lump on Tuesday,Laughed off on Wednesday,Took ill on Thursday,Grew worse on Friday,Died on Saturday,Buried on Sunday.That was the end,Of Solomon Grundy.</i>Learn from Grundy's mistake. Read the signs early and they will lead the way to better health.- Doctor Fate  

• Excuse me sir, the technical term is mammogram, thank you.

• <i>In form of demon or of man Routine checkups are a wise plan. For testicular cancer is one evil spell That even demon fire cannot quell.</i>  - Etrigan

• Plus, with penile cancer its more difficult to get men to *stop* checking.

• Aaah, these women are a breast of fresh air. I MEAN a breath of fresh ass. I MEAN UH!! XD

• I never knew the Wayne's original surname was Sandusky.

• With guest appearance by Iron Fist!

• If I were a pervert spending that much money I'd be outraged that I wasn't the one getting fed!

• Mmmmmmmmm She-Hulk. Gotta say the Wonder Woman one is probably the hottest.

• Better that than a Thing sized fist

• Will never be able to watch Fist of the North Star again. Dammit, it's not even FFF!

• No, no, Miroku's anus is a void. Just like his hand.

• *points JT to door marked "goatse"*

• Well, women on average have less upper body strength than men, so that's a reason archers were men. The other had to do with the fact that men are more expendable. To put it this way, one woman can have only so many children, no matter how many men she sleeps with. The number of children a man has is a function of the number of women he sleeps with. So, women weren't archers. Somehow the Greeks decided this meant breasts got in the way. Also, if we ever let women have any control of their lives whatsoever, we'll be slaves.

• Legacy virus was a direct parallel to AIDS. Marvel said they weren't going to cure it until they cured AIDS, then they did anyway because you can't cure a virus.

• Yeah, but you'd have to actually be demented enough to think a Hulk-sized fist in your ass is in any way erotic. Which is exactly as demented as the typical FFFster is.

• He's talking about testicular cancer. You check by checking your balls, Also, most guys who get prostate cancer are like, 70 or older. Actually, the prescribed treatment is "watchful waiting" because you'll likely die of something else first. There's also penile cancer, but it's so rare, I wouldn't even worry about it, and when it does occur, it's so slow, it made Slowpoke say "DAYUM!"

• No, Hulk just gets really pissed off, and She-Hulk just sleeps with the nearest thing on three legs. Also, they got a hefty dose of radiation therapy.

• They can have Harley and Poison Ivy giving each other breast exams

• Yeah, but there's the fact that parents get a bit squeamish about sex, Americans associate breasts with sex, and, you see where this is going.

• Put's the whole Hulkbuster unit in whole new light

• I'm picturing an add featuring Alpha Flight called "Fist Up The Northstar"......or is that a Canadian gay porn film?

• "There are some signals /every/ man should look for. Be prepared." - Batman, with sad face

• It's the only time Dave Attell cries

• "Kryptonite isn't my only weakness. Don't let testicular cancer be the end of /your/ world." - Supeman, with sad face

• Unless, of course, he just assumes that he has to check his ass for nads.............well that's what I heard

• This one guy I knew was mystified by the way I was able to sit down with my legs crossed and not crush my testes. True story. Some guys NEVER learn how... or alternatively are born with freakishly large scrotums.

• "Hey Peter, man, check out Topless Robot, check out this chick."

• "it rubs the lotion on it skin or else it gets the hose again."

• Or never do as Dave Atell can attest to.

• What he said XD These legends WERE predominantly, if not exclusively, written by men, who have no concept of the subconscious adjustments pretty much every woman learns that allow you to compensate for your anatomy... Kinda like how men learn how not to crush their 'nads every time they sit downXD It's not something you're taught, you just figure it out over time. :)

• Makes sense in a way... The average superheroine is usually big bosomed to begin with, and is either just about to pop out of her top or is wearing a spray-painted-on outfit that accents her boobs.

• Blame creepy Greek priests and Western mythologists.

• Probably got one of The Shards lodged somewhere in his rectal vault.

• i think the batman needs to do a demo (for educational purposes of course) with himself as the model for how to examine your and your loved ones testicles. a whimpering jason todd is opnional

• I've heard of this, but I've dabbled in archery and never had a problem with my breasts getting in the way, despite them being troublesome most of the time anyway.

• HULK FIST HULK FIST!

• Now I want a poster of Wade trying to feel up superheroines "For a Good Cause!" XD

• just like, as we type, a certain population of TR is also having a tight grasp on who they are.

• they would look like awesome. imagine if you will inuyasha, bend over with cheeks spread in our face. then, in the next panel, a point of view shot from the anus showing Kagome, Shippo and Miroku looking into the void and showing a different range of emotion. from 2nd hand embarassment (shippo), to fascinated (kagome), to deep doctorly apprehension (miroku)

• then you cup the breast with your left hand and run your thumb and index finger from your right hand across ... let me not say too much; i don't want to be stuck with the laundry bill that will no doubt follow

• You'd think that with as well endowed as She-Hulk is that she'd be copping more of a self feel, but hers is the worst one of the bunch. Maybe I just like She-Hulk the most out of all 4, and I'm just disappointed...

• I thought is was Joker that made the boners. He'll show you how many boners he can make!

• HULK SMASH PUNY SPHINCTER!

• I think once again my sense of humor is unappreciated lol.  http://ragbrai.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/turn-signals-275x300.jpg That is the hand signal for bikers/rider to make a turn. This article is about cancer Cancer = sickness When someone gets sick they can 'take a turn for the worse' She hulk looks like she is doing the turn hand gesture.  Well I thought it was funny!

• This is pretty cool, they may be godesses, amazons, lawyers, thieves & team leaders but they are women nonetheless ! So respect & solidarity! Prevention is the most important thing against horrible shit like cancers & numerous other diseases so anything that calls for an examination to decrease the victims number  is absolutely welcome !

• No, that would be Deadpool.

• Unpleasant?  ... just a guess...

• Is it shaped like a bat?

• I'm impressed that an ad agency actually decided to use comic book characters in a campaign addressed to women (Mozambique or not). Consider: This is an important health message for adult women...not children...not men...and they chose to use DC Marvel characters to deliver it. I suppose some might claim that the campaign is aimed at men who would then tell women about it--but this doesn't make a lot of sense: At the risk of stereotyping--many men are uncomfortable discussing women's health issues in any way, shape, or form. Furthermore: Given the composition of these ads, and the size and placement of the text, it's not unreasonable to think that a fair number of men could look at these ads and never even realize they're ABOUT breast cancer! XD

• Aaaannnnd, here we go, thank you for the next FFF...   :(

• Someone said that same thing on the Mary Sue website... but yeah, I still don't get it anyway... but I haven't read She-Hulk or whatever title she's in, in a long time...

• She's not an Archer, so her breasts don't get in the way--that's where that part of the myth comes from: Amazon warriors would cut off a breast to make it easier to pull back a bow.

• Um...I'll be in my bunk.  

• Was gonna say: "She-Hulk IS cancer!" XD

• So...how would the ads for prostate cancer look like?

• She was raised by Amazons but she was actually an animated sculpture,so she should actually be going to see a stone or brick mason instead of a doctor.

• The Hulk fisting himself would outdo some of the stuff I've had to suffer through on my job

• Shambling mounds of tumescent flesh? Oh that does not sound right at all. =\

• I believe they have a firm grasp on who they are.

• ...You know at the risk of being insensitive, wouldn't the preferred method for WW dealing with breast cancer be to chop the offending mammery off? Being an Amazon and all? It's odd that she even has a pair in the first place.

• She got her powers from radioactive blood from her cousin. If anything she should be at the most risk 

• It's too bad Mar-Vell didn't have tits. He'd be the goddamn spokesperson for Super Hero cancer.

• They're doing it wrong. These are stupid.

• I do believe I misread Skrag's comment.

• I don't think skrag was complaining.

• Doesn't She-hulk have some sort of protection against sickness as one of her powers? If anyone would be immune to breast cancer, it would be her.

• And expand on it. Series 2 can use Ms. Marvel, Power Girl, Spider-Woman, and Poison Ivy.

• It's true, Patrick Byrne has no nuts.

• I'm reminded of those AIDS awareness ads that featured Superman and Wonder Woman. http://www.politedissent.com/archives/1133 At least these new ads aren't so depressing.

• It's an ad for breast cancer awareness, what do you think they should focus on?

• He's talking about testicular cancer I would have though. 

• Cause that's not how you check for prostate cancer... you use a camera/finger in a dark place... Do you really want a drawing of that?  Im sure I can find you one if you really do.

• Only way to get babies to work.........the little lazy bastards
