YouTube bans video about detecting breast, testicle cancer
YouTube have apparently banned two educational videos about how to detect testicle and breast cancer, featuring a well known British TV doctor. Err, yeah, that didn’t sound right, but as far as the story goes this Dr. Chris Steele actually is a real doctor.
Dr Steele told El Reg: “These are videos that I have produced at my own expense to help educate the public. I know for a fact that people find this material very helpful, as they are often provided with minimal support information when they enquire about these procedures.”
The reason for banning the vids? Well, might be offensive to kids, 18+, yadayada. Sounds ridiculous if you ask me. The Register have the story, with creepy pics (NSFW).

Yep, Dr. Chris Steele is a real British TV doctor, found on ITV’s This Morning programme. A programme that airs from 10.30am-12.30pm on a weekday, and yet (presumably) received no complaints when the original videos were shown.
Mad.
