2:36Now Playing"A health website has launched a campaign, "The Big Check," a new test of obesity for men: take off your clothes, stand upright naked and look down at your penis. If you can't see it, then you are obese and at risk of losing up to nine years of lifespan.
The "Big Check" campaign was launched after the British website We Love Our Health.co.uk, commissioned a survey of 1,000 men that found that because of the size of their bellies, "33 percent of men in Britain aged between 35 and 60 years are unable to see their penis" when they stand upright and look downwards.
The figures produced by the survey also suggested that more than 5.6 million British men are at risk of losing up to nine years of lifespan through strokes, diabetes and heart disease because of obesity."*
Is this poll/study a bit over-the-top? And just how was it conducted anyway? Would women put up with similar questioning? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss this story.
