Ryan Reynolds Gets a Colonoscopy

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney (now starring in Welcome to Wrexham, about their Welsh football club) both turned 45 years old and got their first colonoscopies. That's pretty normal for people who have health insurance. But Reynolds lost a bet and had to fulfill his pledge to share his colonoscopy with the world. Katie Couric must be very happy that now she's not the only celebrity to be seen undergoing such an, er, intimate procedure. However, we won't see anything traumatic. The kicker is that even though McElhenney won that bet (by learning to speak Welsh), he also showed his colonoscopy because he thought he could somehow outdo Reynold's procedure in one way or another. The upshot is that a colonoscopy is pretty simple, and there are drugs. This is all in support of the organization Lead From Behind, where you can find out more about colon cancer prevention. -via Laughing Squid
