Shocking ad for testicular cancer screening (GRAPHIC WARNING)

I've been in the creative end of advertising for over 30 years. I don't agree that such a graphic approach is this necessary (they could have done the same thing using anything round and without the scantily-clad lady), but it's an effective and memorable ad none-the-less. Produced by the venerable J. Walter Thompson ad agency, in London.

It does what it is designed to do, attract attention with a little controversy.
