You might feel awkward when the doctor squeezes your nuts during annual physicals, but he's doing it for a reason: You have a 1-in-250 chance of developing testicular cancer, usually between the ages of 20 and 40. You don't wanna think about losing your sack, but you also wanna keep your life, so it's important to check yourself regularly.

However, guys are lazy and easily distracted. We begin to feel for lumps, then jack off and take a nap instead. We need someone--or something--to remind us about our health-related duty. And that someone/something is Mr. Balls, a giant, grinning scrotum that debuted (descended?) at a recent Brazilian cancer awareness festival, delighting everybody in attendance, except for those who need PTSD counseling now.

He's got eyes! He's got a couple teeth! He's got pubes...lots and lots of pubes. And he's got a message: RUN, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN...to the nearest bathroom and perform a self-exam. More photos at Gawker and in your nightmares.
