So - given all the ways this could go wrong as discussed in this thread, what could Douglas possibly been thinking by sharing it? Could it be he wasn’t thinking and it came out? Bragging about being a stud - given his role as Liberace, proving that he’s a “sexual dude” A misguided intent to provide a PSA? I just don’t get it. ---

Catherine Zeta-Jones recently came out saying she has been battling mental illness. So she is crazy and her hoohoo gives you head cancer. What a catch! ---

Bragging about being a stud - given his role as Liberace, proving that he’s a “sexual dude” A misguided intent to provide a PSA? I just don’t get it. Considering that HPV **also causes anal and penile cancer** , I’m pretty sure his “I totally got it from eating pussy!” statement is a way to brush off concerns that his portrayal of Liberace was anything other than a role. ---

Time for SNL to resurrect a Christopher Walken character for a PSA. “Is it true that he was very valiant at Gettysburg?” “Oh yes. Many men are in the hospital or the graveyard due to the dangers brought about by Colonel Angus.” ---

Okay, between this, and **Ferret Herder’s** comments about anal cancer (ferret, anal…I’m dyin’ here…;)), at least I can feel better - I’m not the only person getting that vibe…just: yuk. ---

Guys, you only get the hoo hah cancer if you do a counter clockwise twist at end. Clockwise and its totally safe. That’s what my friend little Billy told me in the 7th grade. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Ironic that he went from discussing the cancer caused by his cunnilingus to playing the aggressively anti-cunnilingus-performing Liberace, who died from another STD. Apparently Douglas really wants to drive home the dangers of unprotected sex. I think the message for men is that if you avoid women and gay men you’ll be okay. Something tells me he may be onto something here. ---
