Popular Transformer's Death Calls for Annual Screening

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Pop culture fans are mourning the death of
Optimus Prime today as the famous Transformer passed away last night
from prostate cancer on the new Cartoon Network Show, "Robot
Chicken."

"When it comes to prostate cancer, there's more than meets the eye,"
National Prostate Cancer Coalition CEO Richard N. Atkins, M.D.
said. "Often times when one has symptoms for prostate cancer it's
already in its late stages, that's why early detection is so
important."

The scene from Robot Chicken, a new show created by Seth Green and
Matthew Senreich, showed Optimus Prime with incontinence (or
urination) problems followed by a trip to the doctor and then death.

"Being a Tractor Truck, Optimus should have known the importance of
check-ups - oil, anti-freeze, spark plugs - the works," said
Atkins. "It comes as such a surprise - my kids loved that guy."

Optimus Prime, developed and marketed by Hasbro, is the "powerful
and courageous leader of the Autobots (the good guys of the
Transformer World)." Transformers, a children's cartoon and toy
line, are sentient beings that morph into unsuspecting items like
cars and airplanes.

"Planned or not, the skit was a great way to get people talking
about prostate cancer at a younger age," said Atkins. "When it comes
to the real thing, prostate cancer is no joke - it's the most
commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in America."

One in six men will get prostate cancer in his life but if caught
early, the chance of survival is 99.3 percent.

"A prostate specific antigen blood test and a two second look at
your tailpipe can save your life," said Atkins.

Taking care of the biggest thing in men's health, the National
Prostate Cancer Coalition sets the standard for rapidly reducing the
burden of prostate cancer on American men and their families through
awareness, outreach and advocacy.

Basically there using the power of a name OPTIMUS PRIME
To advertise the awarness of prostate cancer
By using well known terms and names people remember a product
