National Men's Health Week

By j7uy5 on June 15, 2006.

While doing background research for my next post, I learned that this
is National
Men's Health Week.

The National Men's Health Week is an official government activity in
accordance with Senate
Joint Resolution 179 of 1994, introduced by
Senator Bob Dole.  Remember Bob Dole?  He used to be
the next President of the United States, and later became a href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0815/is_1999_March/ai_54753537">spokesperson
for the Viagra advertising campaign.

The first thing on the site homepage is a bunch of logos, including href="http://www.menshealthweek.org/pfizer_sponsor.jpg">this
one.  (I'd put the image here, but that could incur
the wrath of the corporate sponsor.



The second thing on the homepage is this text:


The purpose of Men's Health Week is to heighten the
awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection
and treatment of disease among men and boys.



For June, MHN has created a web site to provide information about
health issues which may cause erectile dysfunction. View the
Check
Men's Facts web site by href="http://www.checkmensfacts.com/"> clicking here
and read about some of the causes of ED href="http://www.checkmensfacts.com/issues.html"> here
and the survey href="http://www.checkmensfacts.com/survey_findings.html">
here.



I'd bet that at least one of the corporate sponsors got a lot of extra
mileage out of their contribution.
