No, really.

"Rockstar Games is proud to be a major sponsor of Movember, the annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer. Grow a rugged moustache and send us a photo by the end of Movember for an opportunity to be immortalized as a character in Rockstar Games' next action-adventure, Red Dead Redemption."

Read the details here.

If you're unclear on how your 'stache ties into fighting prostate cancer, check the bullet points more closely. Right after Rockstar asks you to register with your email so that you can be kept abreast of developments relating to their upcoming Western action game, there's this:

"Tell your friends and family and get them to sponsor you and raise money for men's health charities."

You know I apreciate the sentiment, having plenty of the imperiled junk in question, but people know that boob cancer kills, like, double the people what butt cancer does. And dudes get it, too, and almost certainly die from it, since we never, ever get mamogramized.

I'm just saying, if you're going to help cancer people, don't help old dude cancer people. They're stacked and fund research damn well already.

The premise that "old dude cancer people" are the ones to benefit from prostate cancer research is just wrong. Prostate cancer is now hitting males in their '40s. All cancer needs to be targeted for elimination as a health threat, not just your favorite flavor.
