"Self-date" your way to a healthier prostate! An Australian study found a lower incidence of prostate cancer in men who ejaculate five or more times per week, inspiring good old Gary Trudeau to address the issue in this Sunday's Doonesbury. But will you see it in your local puff-piece-and-coupon-delivery system (aka Sunday paper)? Maybe not -- many papers are pulling away from the touchy topic. And speaking of really juvenile puns, the editorial I linked there is Exhibit A for Why You Shouldn't Read College Newspaper Editorials. Oh well. Goodonya, brave Aussie researchers...to be updated when I see which way the Sunday Glob goes on this.

UPDATE: Way to go, Globe! They ran it, and it's quite droll. Check out Jim Romenesko's MediaNews page for feedback from editors around the country on why they did or did not run the strip...you have to admit, it's pretty funny that the Modesto Bee didn't run it. (/tempest)
