No apology necessary. I prefer to see this reported with the level of importance it deserves. But I have to admit that ANY reporting of something that has been ignored for so long is better than nothing at all. When a ultra light article is written about this, it give me a contact target. I am the first one to write to its author and see that they get the significant importance of it all - Hopeing that they will want to do a follow up article of substance and seriousness.

I would like to underline my previous post by quoting to you verbatum a thumbnail article that appeared on Saturday in The Sun,that was written by Jeremy Clarkson.

Jeremy Clarkson is a television presenter with a weekly audience of millions and his acerbic "wit" has elevated him to iconoc staus with the British Public.

I have written an open letter to the newspaper,and also sent a formal complaint to its Editor.


I qoute "A scientist called Maura Gillison has announced that Oral Sex causes thoat cancer.Though having found her picture on the internet,i'm left wondering how on earth she might know"

I would also like to point at that this newspaper is the one that is supposed to be waging a war on cancer and raising public awareness of the increased incidence of Oral Cancer.

Is this really a case of any publicity really good publicity or am i just being oversensative?

Good for you Liz.

Brians last two sentences make a lot of sense. On top of that, if a lot of people call and complain, this will get the editors and producers attention.

Then when someone with credentials like Brian Hill calls and voices the real scope and affliction of this disease, it almost obligates them to do a follow up article (newspaper) or a 5 minute dialogue (TV) with substance and seriousness as pointed out by Brian.

Essentially, it is turning a negative into a positive with the same amount of exposure.
