Excerpt

Prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health are topics traditionally popular only in the smallest of circles. However, the very creative and successful Movember campaign is changing all that, taking popular culture by storm. The idea — a charity focused on men’s health — took form during a 2003 conversation between two friends at a bar drinking beer in Australia. Today the campaign is so popular, memes and photos of babies, kittens and Elmo dolls donning the recognizable moustache are sprinkled all over social media platforms.
