Deadpool urges you to touch yourself… for a very important reason.

DEADPOOL (unfortunately) knows all about cancer, and he’s creating awareness for both testicular and breast cancer by urging fans to check themselves for signs of the disease. In two new PSA’s, “the Merc” offers an examination guide for both sexes. So get to checking and spread the word.

In an effort to cure his cancer, former special forces operative Wade Wilson was subjected to an experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, disfigured skin, an unstable mind, and a “dark, twisted” sense of humor. Armed with new abilities and a new identity, Wilson hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

In theaters February 12th, “Deadpool” is rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity.
