image Well there are a cast of characters here, all designed to use imagecartoons and mascots to promote better health care.  Petey the Pee Cup goes to live events.  Pokey Syringe  will tell you about his life e as well, and you can find these folks on Facebook and on You Tube.   Prosty hangs out over at Manogram and has a short video to introduce himself.  There another new addition here and that is Mr. testicles who roams around the streets of London to encourage PSA tests and is shown in the video here at half time during an event.
